Yes, worked. Thanks. Couple of user errors on my part. First I was trying to list the contents of the directory... which looks like doesn't work because of the security. Secondly since the default binding (to interfaces) behavior changed with 4.2, my web-server was not bound on the interface on which I was trying. After I took care of these 2 issues, it works just fine. Thanks for your quick help!! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4181600#...
