Accessing html pages outside tomcat server

Hi
I have my images and html pages stored in a directory outside the server. This is because of the WAR file. Other people are developing the html pages and uploading them. The name of the html file is in a mysql table.
With the name I have to show that page.
I have figured out how to display the images that are out side the server on my jsp pages .
how do I do the
<a href="????????<=%fileName%> ">View me</a>
if they are on c:/thedata/pages/stories/fileName.html for example to use the local host place they are.

The client cannot access local files outside the web container by a simple request. Better way is to create a FileServlet or so which streams the requested file from the local path to the client.
The ImageServlet snippet provided here might be useful to get some insights in streaming local files to the client: http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-img.html
Then let the FileServlet listen on /file and change the request to<a href="file?name=<%=fileName%>">View me</a>Be careful with this. Also see the comments in the code and the "Security considerations" at the bottom of the ImageServlet article.

When i am typing http://localhost/ThreeParamsForm.html it is giving me HTTP Status 404 error. I have tried using servlets in similar way it is working fine. Please help.....

did you include the port number if other than 80 ?
i.e. http:\\localhost:8080\whatever

.swf file in html page with WebLogic Server in Netscape

I am not able to embed .swf (flash) files in html page when accessed thru' Weblogic server in Netscape Ver. 5 and below but supported in Netscape6.0 and IE. When run as html page without WebLogic server, it is working well. Please suggest a solution for this problem to my mail id.

I've had a quick trawl round the web, but can't find an answer to this specific problem - will let you know if i discovr anything.
Lots of people seem to have problems because the relative url address has to be in relation to the html page, not the loading swf. All my files are in the same folder, so it;s not that. Also, the problem occurs whether running from my hard drive or web server.

I'm an admin of this site, but now can't access some pages in Project Server 2013 e.g. Project center, PWA setting

I'm an admin of this site, but now can't access some pages in Project Server 2013 e.g. Project center, PWA setting

it may be your browser. CHeck the folloinwg
1) Turn on Compatibilty mode
2) Security Options / Make it a local trusted site
3) Turn of Protected Mode in the browser under Security
and have you tried it from Chrome

Accessing HTML Pages w/out KM

I need to upload RoboHelp files to the Portal. Ive tried KM but this isnt a viable solution since the default RoboHelp page refers to multiple js, html, and gif objects. KM requires that an html page reference objects with a complete URL path even though they all reside in the same directory. RoboHelp has generated 222 + files.
I dont recall the location on the Portal server where I can create and upload files to a directory in the Portal. This way each page doesn't require a complete URL path to each object.

Peter, that was correct. In the Portalapps directory is where all the par files reside. So I created a new directory CRM/help then uploaded the files. The URL path which I use for my iView is http://xxx/irj/portalapps/crm/help/default.htm. Now I can call the default page which it turns calls the logical path for the js, html, or gif object. The complete URL path to each object is no longer required.

Access HTML Pages from Forte Applications

We are currently looking at how to redevelop our online help facility for a
Forte application. We are investigating the use of HTML pages.
Has anyone written a Forte application that opens particular HTML pages? If so,
how was it done?

We have created the idea of an OnLineAssistant that uses HTML pages to drive
help in a Wizard-like fashion.
We use an embedded ActiveX browser control in a Forte window to display the
HTML pages. The pages are launched by passing the application, window, and
widget name to the OnLineAssistant window, which uses the information to load
the correct page.
For example: an application screen for entering customer name and address
passes it's information to the on-line assistant, which links and displays the
page associated with that particular step of a task wizard defined for that
widget. The ActiveX control then allows the user to link into any of the
other pages associated through standard HTML.
This context-sensitive mechanism is also used to launch on-line help (without
the task orientation) at the user's request.
One of the benefits of this approach is that we can put the message passing
into a generic framework ancestor without making any application code changes,
and the OnLineAssistant HTML pages can then be created by non-programmers and
deployed independently from the application, and HTML can do most of the
navigation work.

Viewing HTML page saved on the server from the browser

Hi all
In my application i am having some HTML pages saved on the server. I had given an option to the user to view the HTML page from my application. behind the scene what i am doing is that the view request will get handled by a servlet and from that servlet iam locating the HTML page on the server directory and sending the HTML page to browser by using the Servlet OutputStream. The HTML page is shown on the browser but the attached images are not shown. The images are also there in the server directory and are refered in the HTML file correctly. When i directly open the HTML file then the images are shown correctly.
Can anyone suggest wat's wrong there.
The code i m using is
ServletOutputStream out=response.getOutputStream();
                    if(format.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf"))
                         logger.info("Seleted format is pdf..\n");
                         response.setContentType("application/pdf");
                    else
                         logger.info("Seleted format is html..\n");
                         response.setContentType("text/html");
String file = ReportingConstants.URL_GENERATEDREPORTS+reportPath+itemName;
// file : HTML file absolute path as string.
                    URL url=new URL(file);
                    BufferedInputStream bis=new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
                    BufferedOutputStream bos=new BufferedOutputStream(out);
                    byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
                    int bytesRead;
                    while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read(buff, 0, buff.length))) {
                         bos.write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
                         bos.flush();
                    }

You have to undertsand how the browser handles images and other resources in a HTML page. In the HTML there is an image tag that has a url to an image which can be a reletive url or an absolute url (starts with a "/").
If the url is a relative url the browser interprets the url as being relative to the url currently displayed in the address field discarding the last element of the url . So if the url in the address bar is http://www.myserver.com/myapp/mypage.html and the relative url is images/myimage.jpg, the browser will submit a request to the server for http://www.myserver.com/myapp/images/myimage.jpg
Now let's say that you are call mypage.html from a servlet that has the url http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet. Then when the browser tries to retrieve myimage.jpg it will use the url http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet/images/myimage.jpg and since this is incorrect it will not be able to display the images.
One solution to this is to change all of the image urls to absolute urls. That is the start with a slash where the slash represents the start of the url after the application domain name. For example you used an absolute url for myimage.jpg it would look like /images.myimage.jpg and when accessing the page through the servlet url (http://www.myserver.com/myapp/servlets/myservlet) the browser will discard everything after http://www.myserver.com/myapp and look for the image at http://www.myserver.com/myapp/images/myimage.jpg which is the correct url.
A second solution is to use the HTML BASE tag which tells the browser not to interpret the image tag urls (and other resourses) using the current url in the address bar but to use the url supplied in the HTML BASE tag. The browser will still perform the same process for relative urls but now relative to the BASE tag url. Since the BASE tag url will be the same every time the page is accesssed the images should be correctly accessed no matter how the page is accessed (eg directly, using RequestDistpatcher or via your servlet)

Placement of objects on html page change when loaded to server

I'm having an issue with the placement of my header on my "Gallery" page when it is uploaded to the server. When I open the file in Firefox and Safari it opens normal, with the header on top and the images for each gallery below (I have yet to add links). However when I access this page through the server in safari it flips the gallery images and header but NOT with Firefox. As a note, I've played around with the css a bit trying to solve the problem and I could imitate the issue when I removed the absolute position from the div "gallerycontent".
Here's the link

Is it possible to serve a few plain old simple static HTML pages with ITS?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to serve a few plain old simple static HTML pages (together with some javascript and image files) with ITS?
The HTML page should be served unaltered.
Is this possible somehow?
Thanks,
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang.
Yes, that is possible. What ITS are you using, Integrated or Standalone?
With Standalone you could just put the static HTML anywhere in the web server directory.
With Integrated ITS you will need to upload it to the Integrated ITS and then publish your static HTML. There is an example of this in the SYSTEM service. Just go to SE80 > SYSTEM Internet Service > Topic SL > Mime Objects > PAGE > aboutbox.html.

Redirect HTTP 404, 401 errors to custom html pages ?

Does anyone know how to set up Weblogic 6.1 to TRAP and REDIRECT http 404, 401 etc error messages to custom predefined friendly html pages on the server ?? Here, WL takes http requests directly and outputs the results directly back to the browsers (not going through a proxy server like IPlanet or other web servers).
So how do I trap HTTP error messages in WL and redirects them to my own custom error pages ??
Help!

Hi Aswin,
Vintela libraries changed in SP3. Usually a 404 error means:
- Typo in any of the xml tags (you can check opening it in IE)
- Typo in the SPN (cannot be found). However, you mention seeing in stdout.log "credentials obtained" so it looks that's fine
- If you are using keytab, comment those lines in web.xml and use the password in Tomcat > Java
If nothing mentioned above solve the issue, I will suggest you to enable debug in Tomcat and post here the stdout.log
Regards,
Julian

HTML page within a Flash Movie?

I have an HTML page on my server that I'd like to be able to
have inside my Flash movie, is there any way this could work? I
don't want to use the external Text file method. I've been trying
to use an iframe over a Flash movie to fake it but I just get all
kinds of browser problems when I try to do that. I'd just like
Flash to be able to display an HTML page like an iframe does. Is
that possible?
Thanks in advance!

nope. this exact question gets asked here from time to time
and the answer is really just that
simple - no - but flash does support some HTML tags for text
but HTML as a language is completely
different animal from flash player.

Restarting of tomcat server while using jsp

hi,
Iam using a jsp page on tomcat server. It actually sends message to a phone, after that it comes back to the same jsp using the same url.
But after it comes back, the jsp is not working properly. I have to restart tomcat server each time for it to work.
As iam redirecting it back to the same jsp , i expect it to work properly as nothing is being changed. Its not practical to restart the server each time.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
