To get list of files in a directory, we use listFiles() method of java.io.File. but this is not working in linux.

For Example,

java.io.File src=new java.io.File("usr/local/jboss/dsmimage/rpodev/scanned/");
java.io.File kFileList[]=new java.io.File[10];
kFileList=src.listFiles();

Here i am getting kFileList null.

Please Help me in this issue and suggest me some method to get list of files from linux path.

Thanks & Regards

Have you tried src.exists() and src.isDirectory() to check if
the directory actually exists in the file system?

Also, "usr/local/jboss/dsmimage/rpodev/scanned/" is a relative path to the working directory of the VM. If you are looking for a directory under "/usr", and the VM is not started in "/", you should pass "/usr/local/jboss/dsmimage/rpodev/scanned/" when creating the 'src' File.
