To conclude this topic I would like to present my solution for a runtime configurable SMB access. 

First step was to write a helper class in Java, which provides static methods for all needed functionality. This class encapsulates the dependencies to the Java libraries jcifs-ng-2.1.1.jar, bcprov-jdk15on-1.58.jar and slf4j-1.7.24.jar.

Some of the implemented Methods are:

public static boolean copyFileFromSmbShareToLocal( String smbHost, String smbShare, String smbUser, String smbPass, String smbAuthDomain, String smbFileName, String localDirectory, String localFileName, boolean append, boolean deleteRemote) throws java.io.IOException, InterruptedException { ... }

public static boolean resourceExists(String smbHost, String smbShare, String smbUser, String smbPass, String smbAuthDomain, String smbFileName, boolean checkWriteability) throws jcifs.CIFSException { ... }

 public static String listResources (String smbHost, String smbShare, String smbUser, String smbPass, String smbAuthDomain, String smbFileName, String smbFileFilter) throws jcifs.CIFSException, java.net.MalformedURLException, java.net.UnknownHostException  { ... }

public static String getAttributes(String smbHost, String smbShare, String smbUser, String smbPass, String smbAuthDomain, String smbFileName) throws jcifs.CIFSException, java.net.MalformedURLException, java.net.UnknownHostException { ... }

Next I created a jar file from this class, which could be processed with the Add-In "Java Gateway Wizard" included in Studio and transferred to corresponsing cache wrapper classes.  

This made it possible to create an operation dependending on a Java gateway, by use of the created classes. By using specially created message types, the configuration of the dynamic parameters could be communicated. The operation can be set to any Windows shares by e.g. reading the configuration from a database table and sending the required information to the operation. It is also possible to read files from different sources and copy them to the destinations without having to determine beforehand on which computers the corresponding shares are set up.

If you are interested in further details on how to solve the problem, please send us a PN. Then I will gladly give further information or provide more detailed code components.
