Ronaldo,
can you elaborate about what exactly you like to know? GlassFish is a Java EE server and you can do anything that Java EE can do. This includes file maniulation. But you need to understand that Java EE forbids some components, including EJBs, to directly using File API due to stability and security reasons. So do you like to know whether GlassFish is able to deal with files (yes it is, but it does not understand what a symbolic link is) or whether the Java EE specification allows this (no it does not and you should prevent touching file if portability and compliance is an issue).
Does that answer your question?
Regards
Markus
