is there any alternatives in java
I need path and have to calculate MD5, Presumably you need to calculate MD5 on the contents of the file and not on the name of the file.
and convert the file to binary format.... etc oprations on itSorry, "convert a file to binary format" is basically meaningless.
but we can get the content of the file using
byte [] get()/ getString() methods
If i get content is there any performance degrades?
ie if the content is lengthy is it take more time?Take more time than what? Degrading performance from what? It's certainly true that it would be quicker to not upload the file, but that's a pointless comparison. If you have some other process to compare with, let us know what it would be.

How to get the pull path name from a file upload window

Hello everyone!
I have encountered the following problem with the following JSP code:
<form method="post" action="filename.jsp">
Upload JAVA program:
<input type=file size=20 name="fname" accept="java">
<input type=submit value="go">
</form>
<%
String s = "";
if (request.getParameter("fname") != null)
s = request.getParameter("fname")
%>
The value of s is alway the filename. However I want to get the full path in addition to the filename, so that I can read the file. Does anyone know how to get the pull name of the file?
thanks a lot in advance,

Dear Sir,
thanks a lot for your reply. Please let me explain what I intended to do: I want to upload a file from the local machine and then read the content of the file. Therefore I need to the fullpath of the filename like /var/local/file.java instead of file.java. The latter is what I got.
The problem I have with your code is that the function like "request.getServerScheme()" is not recognized. Maybe is it because I didn't install servelet package? I only installed javax package btw. Also my application runns on Tomcat server if this could give you some information. The error message I had is as follows:

How to get the main funciton name when calling another function inside?

for eg, one RFC named A,inside A,a funtion B is called.when the processing is at B now,how can i get the main RFC name(A)?
any help will be much appricated.

> just see SM50,there is a column called 'Report',it shows the program id the proess is now processing.but i don't know its main program or say it 'the process's first excuting program',how can i get it programmatically?
I'm still not sure to understand. The program in SM50 is the current main program (not the first). It is stored in SY-REPID system variable. Or use this code:
DATA lt_callstack_long TYPE abap_callstack.
DATA ls_callstack_long TYPE LINE OF abap_callstack.
CALL FUNCTION 'SYSTEM_CALLSTACK'
      IMPORTING
        callstack    = lt_callstack_long.
READ TABLE lt_callstack_long INDEX 1 INTO ls_callstack_long.
WRITE : / 'current main program is:', ls_callstack_long-mainprogram.
If you want to know the frame program (the first called), use SY-CPROG, or use this code:
DATA lt_callstack_long TYPE abap_callstack.
DATA ls_callstack_long TYPE LINE OF abap_callstack.
CALL FUNCTION 'SYSTEM_CALLSTACK'
      IMPORTING
        callstack    = lt_callstack_long.
" read last line = first called program
DESCRIBE TABLE lt_callstack_long. "to make sy-tfill = number of lines
READ TABLE lt_callstack_long INDEX sy-tfill INTO ls_callstack_long.
WRITE : / 'First main program is:', ls_callstack_long-mainprogram.

How to get the complete path of the file that is selected using FormFile

i m working on struts..
i hv used FormFile like
<html:file property="xsdpath" value="Browse" />
need to get the whole path that i will select using browse button
for example d:\foldername\filename.java
but FormFile Api has a method getFileName(); which returns the filename, for getting the absolute path wat has to be done.
please reply bak soon
thanks in advance

here i use formfile <html:file> just to allow the
user to select a xml file .
so i need to get the whole path of the selectedfile
to parse the xml file.No you dont.
You would definitely benefit from further reading on
file upload.
<html:file> tag renders an HTML <input> element of
type file.
When a user uploads a file, this file is sent as a
stream of data, which a program (jsp/servlet) on the
server, reads and stores the data back in the form
of a file on the server.
Any server program that needs to parse the file,
should do so on the file stored on the server.
There's no point in knowing the absolute path of the
file on the client machine. If a server program can
parse a file on the client machine, why upload the
file in first case ? Get the drift ?
i also want to show my user the path he hadselected.
If you have such a requirement, then yes.
But it sounds weird to me. If you see my response
above, you will realize that the server has a copy of
the client's file uploaded and then parsed. What if
the client has changed his file after upload ?
cheers,
ram.I also have a requirement to get the whole filepath of the file selected and place this information into a table. From FormFile I can only retreive the absolute filename
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks, dam

How to get the full path name of a file

Hey everybody, I'm new here and in Java.
so I will explain my question by giving an example:
I want to send file from the Desktop by the "Send to" on the popup menu to my program.
I want to know how can I read the full path name and the file name, and show it on my text box.
Thanx alot

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!

How to get the best possible performance when accessing remote files

Hello,
I have recently set up a VPN to allow remote access to an MYOB data file hosted on my Mac Mini at home (MYOB is an accountancy software package for Mac and PC).
My Mac Mini is connected to the internet over a standard ADSL home broadband line, with a terrible upload speed. I think my ISP (BT) quotes 512k upload and up to 8 Meg download. Needless to say, access to the data file is sluggish at best.
Can anybody recommend a better way to host the data file?
I am aware of lots of 'free file hosting' services, a quick Google search brings up loads, but I need to actually open and run the file from its remote location. I cannot download and then upload again because we have multiple user access, and need to ensure the file on the server is not being edited by two people at once.
Thanks for your help...

Thanks for both of your answers.
*Amazon S3 Option*
I preferred the Amazon S-3 option for ease of use and setup, but this does not appear to work. The software accesses the file very quickly indeed, which is great, but I think due to the connection protocol the network volume reports 'zero' disk space remaining.
The MYOB application does not like this, so pops up an error message saying it needs at least '200kb of disk space to open'. This is because, upon opening, it writes a couple of 'lock' files to the disk where the data file is stored.
My previous solution with the Mac Mini used VPN to connect, thus allowing SMB shares for windows users and AFP shares for Mac, and when mounted these network volumes would report the remaining disk space of the Mac Mini itself. MYOB liked this.
Is there any way I can get the network share to report something other than zero disk space remaining?
*Dedicated Server Option*
Otherwise, the VPS option sounds very affordable. I am however unfamiliar with the world of dedicated servers and the Ubuntu OS, but surprised they are so affordable. I would rather go this route than change my home ISP.
Firstly I have never used Linux or typed anything into the command line. So, will I be able to use VNC to access the VPS?
Second, to access the data file, should I continue to use VPN? My current VPN server software supports Linux, so can I use this on Ubuntu?
Thanks again..

How to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???

hai, how to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???
here is the example:
<form action="uploadfile.jsp" method="post">
image<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
<%
String s=request.getParameter("image");
%>
<%=s%>
</form>
i upload the image from C:\image\center.gif. i use request.getParameter just can get the image name like "center.gif". Can anybody help me how to get the full path name. Thanks a lot..

There is no need to get the path. It is also fairly pointless as the server cannot access the client's local file system.
Carefully read this article how you can upload files the right way: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/11/multipartfilter.html

How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

In the FileChooserDemo example :
In the statement : log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
�file.getName()� returns the �file name�.
My question is : How to get the full path instead of just the file name,
e.g. C:/xdirectory/ydirectory/abc.gif instead of just abc.gif
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

//need to refer to it.
final JTextArea log = new JTextArea(5,20);
log.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));

File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//this is where a real application would save the file.
log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);

simply use file.getPath()
That should do it!Thank you !
It takes care of the problem !!

How to get the complete file name?

Good day!
My task is to upload files to the database and also save its path. I am already through with the Blob files but I have a problem with its filename. My boss wants me to get the complete path/location of the file that I am uploading. I mean, she wants to get where it is saved first before I upload it.
Ex.
C:/My Documents/User Files/WebApps/myWebApps/test.txt
currently I am using the following codes:
CODE 1:
     File tempFileRef = new File(fi.getName());
     System.out.println("Field = "+tempFileRef);It only outputs:
Field = test.txt
which is not complete
CODE 2:
     File tempFileRef = new File(fi.getName());
     System.out.println("Field = "+tempFileRef.getAbsolutePath());which also gives this wrong output:
Field = C:\Tomcat 5.5.23\bin\test.txt
Can someone please help me?
Thanks so much.
God bless.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using Apache Commons File Upload. Here is the code where I got the "fi".

Hi Satyam,
In webdynpro java, first file stores in server location then it reads from server.
Create a button with upload and write this code OnAction
Resource is the attribute name in context of type com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource, this attribute is for Resource property for Upload UI Element.
Then in OnAction of button

How to get the actual font name from a font file?

Hi
I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
Thanks,

I would ask you these questions:
Why do you need to do this? What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file? Or do you want information about a font installed on the system? If so, what OS?
Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
Which font "name" do you mean?
What language do you want the name in?
(1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish. A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
(2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK. Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in? If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
(3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards. I would start by reading these:
The Naming Table
Font Names Table
(4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
(5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
(6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
Any clarification would make this a better question.

How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?

My logicalhost server domain behaves strangely. I am reading a file from collaboration definiton, that is located in the logicalhost/is/domains/domain1/config folder. I thought, that this folder is used as an application root folder so I can read files like ./file from there. And it worked.
But then I've installed the domain as a Windows service, restarted the PC. When the domain1 gets started, I get exceptions saying that the file can't be found. Then I restart the domain (in domainmgr.bat) and it works again.
I am pretty sure that using the absolute path will solve this issue, so my first question is: How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?
And my second question is: Why does this happen?

The default folder for a Windows Service is the system32 folder contrary to the instance root folder when starting it as a normal process.
That's the why, haven't tried the how, but you should be able to get the value by calling System.getProperty("com.sun.aas.instanceRoot").
Hope this helps

How to get the current schema name

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me how to get the current schema name, there is some inbuilt function for this,but i am not getting that. Please help me.
Thanks
Jogesh

ok folks, I found the answer at Tom's as usual.
http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/who_called_me/index.html
I rewrote it into a function for kicks. just pass the results of DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK to this function and you will get back the owner of the code making the call as well some extra goodies like the name of the code and the type of code depending on the parameter. This ignores the AUTHID CURRENT_USER issues which muddles the schemaid. Quick question, does the average user always have access to DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK or does this get locked down on some systems?
