FileNotFoundException error

[Jamie Wool]

I'm using Netbeans 2.6 and am having a problem with writing to a file. I can read from the file fine with the below code:

try{
[B]
f = new File(this.getClass().getResource("/FrontEnd/BackEnd/XML Data/").getFile(), fileName);[/B]
doc = builder.parse(f);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement(); 
array = getItems(root, tagname, array);
}catch (IOException ioe) {
 
 balh blah
 
}

but i'm trying to write to the identicle file with this code

  
tagname = "customers"; 
filename = "customers.xml";
ListBuilder cubuilder = new ListBuilder();
Document cudoc = cubuilder.build(tagname, customers);
try{  
    t = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
} catch (Exception e){
 System.out.println("Error creating Transformer"+ e);
}
try{
[B]t.transform(new DOMSource(cudoc), new StreamResult(this.getClass().getResource("/FrontEnd/BackEnd/XML Data/" + filename).getFile()));[/B]
             
} catch (Exception e){
  System.out.println("Error creating customers.xml file from doc"+ e);
}
 
But it gives me this error
 

[CODE]  
Error creating customers.xml file from docjavax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\James\Desktop\java\Design\FrontEnd\BackEnd\XML Data\customers.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
 

I'm confused as the code was copied from the first part, it uses the same file and it deffinately exists.

Can anyone please help?

Hi,

This can also happen when an attempt is made to open a read-only file for writing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
