JFileChooser over internet

Question

Hello,
Is there a way for JFileChooser to access a content repository through the internet. For example, I'm using JFileChooser save dialog to allow the user to upload files to my content repository, but I can't seem to set the directory to my repository. I've tried creating a URI pointing to the repository passing that into a file and setting the JFileChooser's current directory but that doesn' t seem to work. If JFileChooser can't do this, is there another UI similar to JFileChooser I can use. Any help is much appreciated.

I'll assume you've made your directories brousable so you can get a listing of files... you could use a dropdown and just load it off of the list you get... If you select a folder, then enter that folder and repopulate accordingly.Or, instead of a dropdown, you can create a subclass of FileSystemView, and basically add extensions to the default FileSystemView - then plug that into JFileChooser
