i have a windows network drive mapped at "Y:" and i'm trying to access
folder "Y:\data\test" from web application (spring app).
if i use local disk ( "C:\data\test" ) everything works fine.

common problems and solutions?

try using / instead of \, or else remember to double every \.

at the command line verify :

attrib Y:\data\test

try copying a file to Y:\data\test and copying it back to make sure
you have full access.

Experiment with subst J: C:\

and see if you can access J:\data\test

I have never used a network drive in a Java app. I don't even know if
they are supposed to work. Logically they should since you access them
with the same OS C API as local drives.

You don't say what (if any) errors/exceptions you get.

Could be permissions (have a look at SecurityManager[1]) or the LAN is
down. Could also be that someone else is working o the file and has a
lock.
