I have this weird issue,when I use

> File FileToRead = new File("\\\\MYSERVER\\MYFOLDER\\MYFOLDER\\MYPICTURE.JPG");

to read a file over a network,all I get is a null pointer exception.Normally a local path works with this,but when on a network path,I just couldn't manage to get it to work.Any ideas?

PS:oh and my network connection seems to work,no issues when accessing data in windows explorer...

More of the code:

    File FileToRead = new File("file://DOKSERVICE/Somefolder/ProductImage/01001.JPG");
//                  File FileToRead = new File("c:\\dog.jpg"); local test
                    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(FileToRead);
                    BufferedImage resizedimage = new BufferedImage(260, 260,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB ); 
                    Graphics2D g = resizedimage.createGraphics();  
                    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 260, 260, null);  
                    g.dispose(); 
                    picture.setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
