thanks

That destroy() method is refered to the present Xlet to destroy it?
Think that if you destroy the first Xlet, you won't be able to execute the code after that instruction. And to execute the destroy method you must reach it through the notifyDestroy method of the XletContext.

Displaying Static Files

I need some help in displaying a static file in an HTML region on a page. I have uploaded the file (a Unix script) in question (ds_broker_gim,sh) to the Static Files.
I have a page with a report based on a Select List Item (P28_SCRIPT). This Select List has all of the unix scripts involved in an Autosys jobs. I want to drill into the script to view it.
I've tried the following to no avail:
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#&P28_SCRIPT.">
<img src="&APP_IMAGES.&P28_SCRIPT.">
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#BOA_Logo.GIF"> (this works ok but not what i want. this is a .gif file as the P@*SCRIPT is a text file. Don't know if that makes any difference? The text files are Static files wheraes the gif file is an Image. I presume that either way, they are loaded and retrieved from wwvflow_file_mgr.get_file)
When I run the page, I get an image icon but no rendering of the text file? I look at the properties of the images and it shows: wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=5240132416889565092&p_flow_id=38227&p_fname=ds_ods_clients_gim.sh which should render the file?
Obviously, I'm confused and would appreciate your assistance! Thanks

Sorry once again - why cna't I cut n' paste here??
Again, here's the syntax I'm using to display a static text file in a HTML region on a page: Ignore the single quotes as I think that is what is deleting the code?
' <img src="#APP_IMAGES#&P28_SCRIPT."> '
' <img src="&APP_IMAGES.&P28_SCRIPT."> '
' <img src="#APP_IMAGES#BOA_Logo.GIF"> '

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Hi guys,
I've found a little method and it work fine.
Don't forget to reward points
The method is:
Create an <b>HTTP aliases in the J2EE AS JAVA.</b>
1. Create a folder where you want to put your static files :
ex: <b>c:/folder1</b>
put your index.html file and other ressources
2. Create an aliases in the http provider
Go to Visual Admin Tool.
Go to your <b>server node -> services -> HTTP PROVIDER</b>
In <b>Virtual Host tab</b>
click on default
then on the right, go to <b>Aliases tab</b>
in field Alias put the name you want: ex=<b>test</b>
in field path put the path you have created: <b>ex=c:/folder1</b>
<b>click on Add button</b>
<b>click on save properties</b>
Don't forget to clear cash, some time you have to restart the server.
Go to :
<b>http://<your host>:<your port>/test</b>
It's working !
<b>I hope it can help a lot of people.
Don't forget to reward points ;)</b>
Thanks

CF9 - display .rtf file inline (conversion to something else okay)

Hello, everyone.
Just wondering if there is a way to display an .rtf file in a browser? Every method I've tried, so far, just asks the user to download the .rtf file.
If I have to convert it to something else (like XML), first, I can do that. The .rtf file does not reside in the filesystem, it's a binary in a BLOB in an Oracle database.
Thank you,
^_^

I'll look at the spec, thank you.
I Googled:
ColdFusion "convert rtf to xml"
"convert rtf to xml"
ColdFusion "display rtf inline"
... and a few others that I'm not recalling, right now. Most of the links I found (99%) were for "FREE SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD", which I can't go anywhere near.
One of the links was to a forum where someone mentioned what I posted, earlier, about converting to XML, then using some built-in CF XML tag to parse. Can't find it, now, though.
^_^

Using IFRAME in JSF to display a PDF file

2 all,
How do i display a PDF file inside a JSF page in a IFRAME tag?
I store the PDF file location (like d:\images\pdf1.pdf) in my database. I cant give this location directly into the src attribute cos then the file will be rendered to only users who have access to that folder (the application is a internet application). IFRAME would be ideal as the display is very very neat (esp for pdf files).
To get this working i tried the examples given in balusc blogs (on image servlet) but the problem is that my servlet is not getting called. Find below the web.xml and imageDisplay.jsp pages that i tried
web.xml

I dont know why my servlet is not getting called. Can someone help me with this pls?
okay let me post the modified code for my image servlet here
public class ImageServlet extends HttpServlet {

I have made use of your code to display PDF files in an IFRAME tag too!!! I just dint believe that this would be possible. Please just take a look at my JSP page.
<h:form id="CaseLookUp">
     <%
     String path = request.getContextPath()+"";
     out.print(path);
     %>
<iframe scrolling="auto" src="<%=path%>/imageServlet?file=D:\70-229 V5.pdf" width="80%" height="600" ></iframe>
     </h:form>

Embeding Uploaded PDF Static Files - Problems

Good morning all.
I have an application where users enter details and need to read through a selection of documents depending on what details they entered. I have uploaded 5 documents to my Apex server and used the following code to embed them inline (within the HTML itself)
<EMBED
SRC="http://server_name:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=824213546944709&p_fname=file1.PDF&p_inline=NO"
HEIGHT=500 WIDTH=800>This code was taken from the links on the Shared Components -> Static Files page in the Application builder
This all worked file on my development server, all the documents were displaying inline with the HTML document (Example - http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1682 Example #1)
However, I realised one of the documents being displayed was wrong - file 1 was showing instead of file 2. I had embeded the wrong file in the page. So I just changed the &p_fname to file2.pdf. When I ran the page, all the other embeded documents were working fine, but the recently updated one was popping out of the window, and the region where I embeded the file was blank.
Now, I just exported my application to a new server for testing, and have had to change all the embeded regions to point to the newly uploaded files on the new server. None of these now show anything. They either show the little picture icon (red square, blue circle, red triangle) if I include the &p_inline=YES code, the same icon if I say &p_inline=NO instead, or if I drop this argument, the entire region is blank, and the Adobe PDF icon displays streched across the region after a new seconds.
Any hints?
Cheers,
Kate

Thanks for that Denes.
I just have one question - the source for your XML Report region shows the following code
DECLARE
   v   VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
   v :=
         'SELECT '
      || '''<iframe src="#OWNER#.File_Table_Disp_Pr?p_file='
      || 2967670122524254593
      || '"'
      || ' height="880" width="600"></iframe>'''
      || ' document_display'
      || ' FROM DUAL';
   RETURN v;
END;The "2967670122524254593" refers to that file that was uploaded, yes? How do I find this number for my uploaded documents? I think it was a table somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember which one.
Update: I found it - apex_applcation_files. I should just be able to insert the ID of the document I want in there, yes? I copied my document ID number (select id from apex_application_files) but the document is 404'ing on me.
help?

Not able to access files from Workspace Images and Static files

Hi,
We have just migrated our APEX Application from one server to another.
All the functionality is working fine except the images or files which we are uploading
in
Shared Components -> Static Files
Shared Components -> Images
We are uloading Images in Shared Components -> Images but those are not getting displayed there.
Similarly the files which we are uploaded in Shared Components -> Static Files are not accessible. If we
try to download using download icon its showing blank screen.
I am using some javascript files which i have uploaded into static files, but not able to refer them in page.
Please someone guide us how to resolve the above problem.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay

Hello Sanjay,
If you upload any static files such as IMAGES, FILES, or CSS you have to use the tags: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# or #IMAGE_PREFIX# depending on your files location..
then try something like htp.p ('<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#fileName.gif" />');
And it should show the fileName.gif on your browser...
I am not sure if i remember correctly, you can reference files to a specific application or to the whole application, if I am not mistaken..Correct me..

How to Clear Cache for an Old Static File in Shared Components

Hello,
I am using Apex 4.1.1.00.23, HTTP Server with mod_plsql, and Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0.
My situation is as follow:
I have a CSS static file in the shared components that is used in different applications. I recently modified the CSS file, but the changes are not reflected in my applications.
I tried clearing the cache of my browsers, deleting the file from shared components and creating a new one with the same name, and nothing is working.
Using Firebug, I can see that the file used in my pages is the old version of it. Anyone can tell me if the server is caching the file and how can I clear it?
Thank you for your help,
Erick

What kind of document is it (e.g. is this a parsed
HTML file, or a static file)? have you adjusted your
cache settings with the nsfc.conf file? have you
enabled the nsfc report? Are the files stored on NFS
volumes?
Regardless, you can force the cache to be flushed by
enabling the nsfc report, and then accessing the URI
like so:
/nsfc?restart
See the Performance and Tuning Guide:
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1836-10/perftune.html#w
p17232I tried to to do this. Did n't worked. /nsfc?restart is not working for me. I have IPlanet 6.1 Webserver version. Without having any backend server running, I am getting JSPs displayed from cache!! Please help me out.

How to declare ftp in File class. I want to display filename of file in FTP

Thank you.

You can use Jakarta's net-package to connect to a FTP server.
Download it here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-net.cgi
Here's a small demo:
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*;
public class FTPTest {
    private boolean isConnected;
    private FTPClient client;
    public FTPTest() {
        isConnected = false;
        connect();
    private void connect() {
        String server = "server.org";
        String username = "user";
        String password = "password";
        client = new FTPClient();
        try {
            client.connect(server);
            client.login(username, password);
            String[] files = client.listNames();
            for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                System.out.println(files);
isConnected = true;
disconnect();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void disconnect() {
if(isConnected) {
try {
client.disconnect();
isConnected = false;
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args) {
new FTPTest();

Displaying doc/txt file contents from portlet

Hi, Can someone pls give a hint on how to do this:
One "book" type content created, with a doc file uploaded. The "publisher " for
this content is set to "sams".
create a content selector which retrieves only this (content) book correctly.
create two portlets. one portlet with above content selector inserted, displays
the publisher name with a hyperlink.
I want the other portlet to display the contents of the file uploaded, for this
publisher. I could establish portlet comm. and could display other properties
of the book such as "author/titile" on the second portlet, but want to know how
to display the uploaded file contents.
thanks much,
-developer

As far as retriving the contents of an uploaded file...
If your XML document has been loaded into Content Management as a binary
property, you have two options:
a) to directly inline the content into the JSP, do something like this:
<cm:getProperty id="node" name="binaryPropertyName" failOnError="true"
isMultiple="false"/>
(This assumes node holds a reference to the Content Management Node
object (perhaps retrieved via a <cm:getNode> tag)
b) to retrieve the value into a script variable for more processing, do
something like this:
<%
Property bodyProp= (Property)node.getProperty("binaryPropertyName");
InputStream in= node.getPropertyBytes( bodyProp.getId() );
// dont forget to close the InputStream
String result=null;
InputStreamReader reader= new InputStreamReader(in);
StringBuffer streamContents= new StringBuffer();
char[] data= new char[8192];
int charsRead;
while ((charsRead = reader.read(data)) > 0 )
streamContents.append(data, 0, charsRead);
result= streamContents.toString();

Form Built-in to display a static HTML doc

Hi. Is there a forms built-in to allow me to point to and display a static HTML document located on the same server as the form is running? Basically I want the user to click a button that will open an HTML help document.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Assuming you are on webforms >= 9i you could create an aliasmatch and use web.show_document with a relativepath to show your HTML file.
cheers

Static file access.

I figured out how to upload a file I need for an app into the shared components in the shared files area.
I've looked through the docs, the forum and help screens and I can't see how I use this now in my app. I want to create a link to get the file back when the user clicks on it. but I cannot find any info on how to display a link to that static file. how is this done? more important, where is it documented? its not under static files any where in the docs.

You can refer to those files by using #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# substitution string for both static or image files.
Sample if it is an image (note that no slash "/")
<img border="0" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#img.jpg" >
If it is script file -
<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#autofilter.js"></script>

How to display a .txt file?

i would like to ask if JAVA can open and display a text file by issuing a command from my application
is it possible to do it without using a JEditorPane?
something else too, how can i set the background for my application to be a .jpg image?
i searched and realised there is no such method as
setBackground(String url)

Try this... Note you need to add adequate exception trapping and detect special cases like the file being larger than the allocatable size of a character array (in which case you can't convert the file to a string and will need to 'display' the file in sections)...
import java.io.*;
public class LoadFile {
public static String fileToString(File file) throws IOException {
    char[] fileContents = new char[(int) file.length()];
    FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);
    if(fr.read(fileContents) != fileContents.length) {
      System.err.println("There was a problem reading the file contents");
      return null;
    else return new String(fileContents);
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    if(args.length != 1) System.err.println("Usage:\n\tjava LoadFile <filename>");
    else {
      File f = new File(args[0]);
      try {
        String s = fileToString(f);
        System.out.println(s);
      } catch(IOException e) {
        System.err.println("Whoops");
}Hope that helps...

How to use static files

Hi everybody
I have a html file which i uploaded to static files section in apex.
So now i want to use that html file as inline frame or iframe like
<iframe src="#...#new1.html" height="400" width="600"></iframe>for image i am using #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#.
But for static files what is the prefix i will use.
i uploaded this html file to image section and tried #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#new1.htm but is not working.
So is there any other way to do this ?
Please help me.
Thanks
Regards
Sabyasachi

Hi Sabyasachi,
Is the static file you uploaded is associated with any application? then
use #APP_IMAGES#If not it will be available for the whole workspace, so you can use #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#
