Java: searching for a hack to work with Windows file paths on Linux

Say you have a great legacy of ColdFusion on top of Java on top of a Windows application. Files are accessed both through java.io.File and through CFFILE (which, in turn, also uses java.io.File), but is not centralized in any way to a single file access library. In addition, let's say you have file paths, both hard-coded in code and in the database.

In other words, suppose the file paths themselves cannot change. They can be local or remote Windows file paths:

  • C: \ Temp \ file.txt
  • \\ server \ share \ file.txt

Is there a way to run this application on Linux with minimal code changes? I am looking for creative solutions that do not include touching legacy code .

Some ideas:

  • Launch it on WINE. This really works because WINE will translate local paths and has a samba client for remote paths.
  • Is there a way to override java.io.File to perform file path conversion using custom code? In this case, I would translate the remote paths to the mount point.
