We have a java application that runs on windows servers and accessing remote files using a UNC path name. We have been asked to move the application to a solaris machine. Will the UNC file access work the same we are creating simple File objects to do this.
No, they are a Microsoftism. Do the remote systems run Windows, or will they also be moved to Solaris? If they are moved to Solaris, export the necessary file systems via NFS, mount them on your server, and be done with it.
If the remote systems stay on Windows, you are in trouble. You either need to teach Solaris to mount SMB shares (AFAIK there is only one commercial program offering an SMB file system implementation) [1], or teach the Windows systems to speak NFS (there are a couple of NFS implementations for Windows), and then mount the Windows NFS files systems via NFS.

[1] No, Samba doesn't do it. Samba does it the other way around,
exporting Unix file systems via SMB, and the cortesty smbfs
of Samba only works on Linux.
