Opening windows device driver file

843829Feb 10 2003 — edited Nov 27 2004

I am trying to open, read from, write to, and close a custom windows device driver using Java.

I have created a the device driver and have been successful interacting with it using the win32 api calls CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, CloseHandle. (The path to the device driver file is: "\\\\.\\mydriver")

If I try to open the driver file from a Java app, I get a FileNotFoundException! Why is that so? Isn't the JVM using the same CreateFile call in the end?

Thanks in advance!
