| In my application my user will be logged in
| as domain user only so is it possible to check at run time that who
has
| logged in and if user has access on file server then he can access the
| files even if the tomcat is running as local user.
It may be possible to check the user's credentials via an LDAP
connection
(or whatever method is appropriate for your security/authorization
system).
However, it will not be possible to access the remote server directly
from
Tomcat (including any of your servlets or JSPs). You might be able to
use
something like the Commons VFS (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/vfs/).
| Second issue is that - If I want to upload the files then I want to
| check that user who is logged in to the application has write access
or
| not on file server. If not then he should get error message. My user
| will be logged in to application as same user id as his/her domain
user
| id. But I am not sure how to achieve this.
I'm not sure what the problem is here. If the user doesn't have write
access to the server, you'll definitely get an error indication of some
sort. All you have to do is decide how you want to present that to the
user.
