Adding Subfiles to a directory fails in WindowsXP

[Rajendra Gutupalli]

Hi Alan,

Tying to add a subfile to a directory in Windows XP fails with 
AccessDeniedException, but I am able to add subfile to a directory using 
command line tool "cat".
Please see the following output when tried through command line and 
through the program. Please let me the whether the behavior is expected?

Tried in Windows XP with JDK build 91.

output when tried on command line:
<dir report>
06/09/2008  11:31 AM    <DIR>          zips           
</dir report>

Adding subfile txt to the directory zips
C:\>cat > zips:txt
text stream
^Z

Displaying the contents of subfile.
C:\>cat zips:txt
text stream

output when tried through program:
<code>
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.attribute.*;

public class NameTest1 {

    public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
        Path path = Path.get("C:\\zips");
        System.out.println("is Directory " + 
Attributes.readBasicFileAttributes(path,false).isDirectory());
        NamedAttributeView nav = 
path.newFileAttributeView(NamedAttributeView.class, false);       
        ByteBuffer bb = 
ByteBuffer.wrap("Rajendra".getBytes());               
        nav.write("txt", bb);                      
    }
}
</code>
