Unable to display the Content of a data file from within another data file in Oracle webcenter portal.

We have a Content Presenter taskflow. This task flow is added to a jspx page. The taskflow fetches the content from the contributor data file. The contributor data file is having a WYSIWYG editor. The content of the WYSIWYG editor is being displayed correctly through the task flow.
We have some links in the WYSIWYG editor. These links again point to some data files. When we click on these links from within the portal, then we are getting a blank page(the url of this blank page is: http://localhost:7101/eWSIBPortal/faces/oracle/webcenter/sitestructure/render.jspx?datasource=UCM%23dDocName%3AWSIB_ARTICLE) and not displaying the content of the data file that we are pointing to from the WYSIWYG editor.
We want to display the content of these data files(which we have pointed from WYSIWYG editor) in-line within the portal.
Please help us to resolve this issue and let us know if any information is required from our end.

Thanks for reply. However, can I use XSQL to dump the formated text to a file? or just can display to client through web browsers?

Display the content of a text file in a browser

I am new to servlet, I have written a java servlet code which can read a file and display its content in command prompt only(resin),i would like to ask how can i display the content on the browser and i also want to ask how to write a servlet which can display the conetent from a web browser( e.g. whatever i type in a form) and produce the result in the text file.
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class read extends HttpServlet
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
String applicationPath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("");
String filePath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("/WEB-INF/text.txt");
FileReader fr = new FileReader (filePath);
for (int chr = fr.read(); chr != -1; chr = fr.read())
System.out.print ((char) chr);
}

You have to create an object of PrintWriter and use that to display the output on the browser.
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(chr);
Hope this helps..

I want to read the content of a text file dropped in a watched folder into a string variable

I have a workbench process with 2 variable.
inDoc (DataType=Document/input/required)
outStr (DataType = String/output)
The document being passed to the workflow is a text file with 4 lines of text in it. when the text file is dropped into the watched folder, it will be assigned to the inDoc parameter in the workflow.
My workflow needs to extract the 4 lines of text and write it into a string (outStr).
Id like to use the FileUtilsService.ReadString service but i can't since its input parameter is the file path. When i do, i get the following error...

at com.adobe.livecycle.fileutils.FileUtilsService.readDocument(FileUtilsService.java:363)
which is what i expected...
I've also tried with the Script.executeScript to call some java code but im not too strong in java and in all the examples i find, the file pointer requires a file path.
import java.io.*;
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
OR
File f = new File(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
OR
File f = patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc");
Any clue how to resolve my problem?

Try the following code snippet to read the String content from the file recieved through watched folder endpoint.
com.adobe.idp.Document inputDoc = patExecContext.getProcessDataDocumentValue("/process_data/inDoc");
java.io.InputStream inStream = inputDoc.getInputStream();
byte[] dataBuffer = new byte[inStream.available()];
inStream.read(dataBuffer);
String strData = new String(dataBuffer);
patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/outStr",strData);
The code is not tested, hence if you find any mistakes, correct and test the functionality.

Reading an XML file and write the contents to another xml file in java

Hi,
I am new to xml parsing.My requirement is that I am getting a message (xml) using ibm MQ in the ByteArrayInputStream format.I have to read this xml message and write to another file.
I am creating a POC for this.
First I used simple reading and writing concept but the output is "java.io.FileInputStream@3e25a5 "
Sample xml file
- <Client>
<ClientId>1234</ClientId>
<ClientName>STechnology</ClientName>
<DTU_ID>567</DTU_ID>
<ClientStatus>ACTIVE</ClientStatus>
- <LEAccount>

<Cindicator>Y2Y</Cindicator>
<PrefCode>980</PrefCode>
<BSCode>876</BSCode>
<MandatoryContent>MSP</MandatoryContent>
</Service>
</Client>
code:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class ByteArrayInputStreamToXml {
 public static void main(String srg[]) throws IOException{
 InputStream inputStream= new FileInputStream("C:\\soft\\test2\\sample1.xml");
 byte currentXMLBytes[] = inputStream.toString().getBytes();
 ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(currentXMLBytes);
 OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\soft\\test\\data.xml");
 int read=0;
 byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
 while((read = byteArrayInputStream.read(bytes))!= -1){
 out.write(bytes, 0, read);
 out.write( '\n' );
 inputStream.close();
 out.flush();
 out.close();
 System.out.println("New file created!");
Please suggest me how can I use DOM/SAX parser ,I can see several code on net for reading xml file using SAX/DOM parser but writing an xml file after reading it using ByteArrayInputStream I am not getting .A help through some example Link will also be helpful for me.
Thanks
Sumit

Dynamic frame building using the contents of an XML file

Hello,
My task is to parse an XML file, which contains various profiles of people. Based on what I read, I will then have to make up the GUI dynamically based on which person is selected. I have decided to use CardLayout and I was wondering if there was any way I could build a dynamic frame in netbeans, using the swing palette that is. Is there anyway I could pass in the frame details (based on a person) and is there a way that Netbeans could build the frame for me?
Could you guys let me know if this is feasible at all?
Thanks
Lexus

>
Could you guys let me know if this is feasible at all?>It sure is. The SaverBeans settings dialog does just that, for the XScreenSaver style XML used to configure screensavers. It was developed by Mark Roth using NetBeans.
Some more information on that component can be found in the [Screensaver configuration files|https://screensavers.dev.java.net/config/] page.

How to display the contents of a text file on the command line?

I realize I need to utilize classes from the java.io.* package, but I don't know which ones to use exactly. This is what I would like to do in a nutshell:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File inputFile = new File( <path to the file>);
// code that reads data from the above file and is able to
// append it to a string object or display it on the command
// line (System.out.println)
}Thanks for your time!

It's pretty easy. Here's a little example that reads a file, stores it in a string, and prints it to the command line.
import java.io.*;
public class OpenFile {
 public static void main(String args[]) {
 try {
 File fileToOpen = new File("something.txt");
 FileReader fileIn = new FileReader(fileToOpen);
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fileIn);
 String fileContent = new String();
 String line;
 while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
 fileContent += line + "\n";
 System.out.println(fileContent);
 br.close();
 catch (IOException e) {
 System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}Good luck,
Alex

Displaying the contents of internal table- in email Step of workflows

Hello Folks,
I wanted to display the contents of an internal table ( would contain a list of opportunites ), in an email sent throught the workflow:
My idea was to LOOP AT <ITAB> into <WA> from an external program and then call the workflow for each content of the <WA>. This will be a problem as, if there are like 1000 records in the internal table, then workflows will be called 1000 times...sending 1000 emails..
My requirement is that we need to send a single email to the single person, displaying the content of the internal table in the email body......
My question
1) Is this scenario possible through worflows ?
2) If not, please provide an alternative ..
Thanks
Anand

Do you mean to say that just by inserting the multiline element
within the body of the 'Send email' step type, the contents
of the multiline element is displayed automatically without
we having to loop at it somehow ?
Follow the below apporach,
1. First create a multiline container element in the workflow conatiner.
2. Populate the internla table , by using the bor methods and pass back the populated ITAB to the WF by using the binding concept.
3. Now create a mail step in the workflow, you have the option of inserting the workflow container elements into the mail conten, so insert the multiline container element , then it prompts to select the option like a) Do you liek to display only first line b) Display the ITAB line by line c) Display ITAB lines continuously with out line break.
4. based upon the requirement select any one of the options.
Note: Make sure the line length of the ITAB won't excced 132 charecters, because the send mail step will consider only 132 characters.

How to display the contents of a document set on a page?

I want to display the contents of a document set (that contains both folders and files) on a page (with the same structure as they are in the document set like folders and files). How to achieve this?
I tried content search webpart but it is of no use as it displays the flat list instead I need folders and files as they are present in the document set
I tried document set contents webpart but as it doesn't accept any connection, it is not of much use.
I will be glad if you have any pointers for me in this regard.
Regards
Kesava

Hi Kesava,
According to your description, you might want to display the content in a document set with its hierarchy.
How about using
Page Viewer Web Part to display the page of the corresponding document set? This would be a non-code solution I would recommend.
More information about Page Viewer Web Part:

How to display the content of a file in the portal?

Hey guys, could anyone help?
I just created a page which includes two iView, one is KM Navigation iView to display a certain repository, while the other is for displaying the content of a certain file I click in the navigation iView.
And now the problem is when I click a file in the KM Navigation iView, it will pop up a new window to display it. How can I make it displayed in a fixed iView, which type of this iView should be?

Hi,
you can try to use the:
ConsumerTreeListPreview
layout for KM navigation ivew (or customize to your own).
This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.
Hope this helps,
Romano

Error in reading the contents of a zip file

EHello Experts,
I want to read the contents of a zip file.I have written the following program which reads the contents of a file named "index.xml" which resides in ReadZip.zip.My problem is , it is reading only the first line of that file & after that it is giving this error.

            ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(fis);
            ZipEntry ze;

                        br.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {

}It seems that zis is getting close after reading the first entry of file.I am unable to guess the reason for this.Please help.Thanx in advance.

Displaying the contents of an array of objects

Hello All,
My Java teacher gave us a challenge and I'm stumped. The teacher wants us to display the contents of the array in the main menthod. The original code is as follows:
public class TestObjects
 public static void main ( String args[] )
 Thing[] thingArray = { new Thing(4), new Thing(7) };
}I understand that the elements of the array are objects, and each one has a value assigned to it. The following code was my first attempt at a solution:
public class TestObjects
 public static void main ( String args[] )
 Thing[] thingArray = { new Thing(4), new Thing(7) };
 for ( int i = 0; i < thingArray.length; i++)
 System.out.println( thingArray );
}To which I'm given what amounts to garbage output. I learned from reading about that output that its basically displaying the memory location of the array, and the the contents of the array. There was mention of overriding or bypassing a method in System.out.println, but I don't believe that we're that far advanced yet. Any thoughts? I know I have to get at the data fields in the objects of the array, but i'm not having an easy time figuring it out. Thanks very much in advance!

Note that you're trying to print the entire array at every loop iteration. That's probably not what you meant to do.
You probably meant to do something more like
 System.out.println( thingArray[i] );Also, note that the java.util.Arrays class has a toString method that might be useful.
To which I'm given what amounts to garbage output. It's not garbage. It's the default output to toString() for arrays, which is in fact the toString() defined for java.lang.Object (and inherited by arrays).
I learned from reading about that output that its basically displaying the memory location of the array, and the the contents of the array.It displays a default result that is vaguely related to the memory, but probably shouldn't be thought of us such. Think of it as identifying the type of object, and a value that differentiates it from other objects of the same type.
By the way I assume you mean "+not+ the contents of the array" above. If so, that is correct.
There was mention of overriding or bypassing a method in System.out.println, but I don't believe that we're that far advanced yet. Any thoughts? No, you don't override a method in println; actually methods don't contain other methods directly. You probably do need to override toString in Thing.
I know I have to get at the data fields in the objects of the array, but i'm not having an easy time figuring it out. You can get to the individual objects in the array just by dereferencing it, as I showed you above.
But I suspect that won't be sufficient. Most likely, Thing doesn't have a toString method defined. This means that you'll end up with very similar output, but it will say "Thing" instead of "[Thing" and the numbers to the right of the "@" will be different.
You'll need to override the toString() method in Thing to get the output you want.

Hi I want to display the contents of a xml file.
