Applet question, how to download resource files from server

hi,
i am new at applet world.
i have an applet that reads some resource, data and configuration files. so i need to download these files from server to client. i did some resarch and could not find how to download files from server in an applet application.
how can i do this task?
thank you for your answers.

You may want to distinguish between 'resources' and data/configuration files.
'Resources' are non-class files that are part of your application, i.e without them the application would simply not work, just like class files.
Those are typically images, sounds or resource bundles (GUI elements translated to different languages) that nobody except you, the developer, would touch (when releasing an upgrade or a patch).
Those should just go into the applet jar or additional jars named in the applet tag.
Data/configuration files, that may be changed by others than the developers, should be made available through HTTP, just like the applet jar itself. The applet will have (read) access to them using java.net.URLConnection.

How to download a file from server machine to client machine using jsp

Hi,
In my application, I have an excel file stored on my server machine. How can I download that excel file on to my client machine using jsp. Is there any other way I can open that file from my machine and save it in my machine using jsp/java?
Its an emergency for me to do this.
Can anyone provide me the full code to download a file from server machine as I don't have
time to browse through various sites.
thanks in advance,
Tiijnar

Please post your code using code tags (click on CODE above the text area, when posting)
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");Why octet-stream? Set the correct mime-type.
String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"filename\"";The filename should just be the file's name. Not the complete path to the file! This will tell anyone where the file is located on the server. It's also inconvenient because by default,the browser will suggest it as the name for the download.
Your way of writing to the output stream is just plain wrong. See this snippet (picked from [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html])
        BufferedInputStream input = null;
        BufferedOutputStream output = null;
        try {
            // Open streams.
            input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
            // Write file contents to response.
            byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
            int length;
            while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                output.write(buffer, 0, length);
            // Finalize task.
            output.flush();
        } finally {
            // Gently close streams.
            close(output);
            close(input);
        }

How to download a file from server?

Hi everyone,
I need to download a file from my server to client machine. I got a sample code from ur forum and I modified it slightly.
//Snippet of code:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws
     ServletException, IOException{
int bytesRead=0;
     int count=0;
     byte[] b1=new byte[1];
     //OutputStream out=res.getOutputStream();
     res.setContentType("application/html");
     //Create an input stream from file URL.
     String fileURL="http://localhost:8080/webapps/upload/upload.html";
     BufferedInputStream bis=null;
     BufferedOutputStream bos=null;
     boolean download=false;
     res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=upload.html " );
     try{
     URL url=new URL(fileURL);
     URLConnection connection=url.openConnection();
     InputStream in=connection.getInputStream();
     bis=new BufferedInputStream(in);
     FileOutputStream fileout=new FileOutputStream("upload.html");
     bos=new BufferedOutputStream(fileout);
     while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read())){
     try{
     bos.write(bytesRead);
     bos.flush();
     }//end of try forwhile loop
     catch(SocketException e){
     setError(e);
     break;
The code is getting compiled, when I run the appln using the URL,
http://localhost:8080/upload/servlet/DownloadFile
it opens a pop up dialog box, asking whether to "open", "save" or "cancel" buttons. When I try to open a file, I'm getting a blank page.
I'm not getting the contents of the file.
So pls can anyone tel me wht's wrong in the code or do i need to add few more lines in my code?
Also pls let me know, how can I download any files of type .doc, html, .txt, .zip, or any type, without mentioning the file type?
Thanks in advance

Do not use a FileOutputStream (that will save it locally to the server). Call HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream(), which will send it back to the browser. Also remember to call close() on the stream at the end.

How to download a file from Path specifed

Hi,
For file down load u have to use a UI element as "File download".
u just create context attribute as setdownload_res and file data.
setdownload_res as of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource" then bound it to the ui element "resource".
file data as of type "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDInputStream"
and set calcuclated as true and read only as true.
then in doinit method u just write this code
IWDAttributePointer attr = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("fileData");
IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createResource(attr,null,WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setDownload_res(res);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(""+c);
after this in the getter method u write this code
IWDInputStream stream = null;
try
stream = WDResourceFactory.createInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("<pathof the file to be download>")));
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return stream;
also look at this thread How to DownLoad any type of File from the server(PDF,XLS,Word)

OAMessageDownloadBean is the bean that lets you download a file from middletier.

How to download a file from Oracle UCM using OSB

Hi,
How can I download a file from Oracle UCM and save it on a filesystem using OSB 11.1.1.5.
Thanks

UCM supplies webservice interfaces which let you retrieve the filecontent by soap calls from UCM (http://ucmhost/_dav/cs/idcplg for example). (maybe you should enable some settings on ucm to have this webservice interface getting published).
This services for example has 2 operations getFileByID and getFileByName.
So you can just call these services from within OSB.
After that you need to do some tests if you eitherway need to create a file-transport business-service and call this one from your proxy service or create a messageType proxyservice (binary) which calls this file-transport business service to be able to write fo filesystem.
I think for the OSB book i used a jca file adapter generated in Jdeveloper and used that one to write to filesystem.

How to Download a file from web server using servlets

how do we download a file from Java Web Server connecting to oracle database

please reply as it is needed to complete my project to submited to the collage

With SQLJ you can do it.
When you look at:

or
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/advanced.htm
There are samples for reading LONGRAW / BLOB from Database. If you want use it in servlet you have to pass the result to the responce object, set the correct mime-type and set the response.setContentLength( xx). This is for some PlugIns nessessary (pdf).
