Display Blob content in HTML Region

Hello,
I'm trying to display the contents of an .htm file in an html region. I can get it to display as a link but I can't get it to display as an image. I have a page item that is display as text (do not save state). For the source value I use a PL/SQL function body. I use the following code to display the image,
return '<img scr="#OWNER#.get_help_doc?p=U76.htm></img>';
I get the broken link symbol.
However, if I display it as a link as follows, it works:
return '<a href="#OWNER#.get_help_doc?p=U76.htm'
|| '">Help</a>';
How can I display the .htm file as an image? Thanks, Elizabeth

How to display the content of a region on a different page

Hello,
Does anyone knows how to display the content of a region on an other page. I try to make page that displays content that resides somewhere else in my portal, so I can give a summarization of some hot topics. I really want to display the whole content of some regions (not a display with custom search).
Thanks a lot,
Hans

Set that page as portlet, include it in a region in another page and in the edit defaults decide which regions you want to display.

Display blob content as pdf file

Dear Expert,
Currently i'm using oracle apex 3.0.1.
I'm having a problem on displaying blob content (from database table) as pdf file on oracle application express but i'm able to save to download the pdf.
Below is the procedure that i used to display blob content,
PROCEDURE lf_html_pdf (pv_image IN VARCHAR2, pv_index IN NUMBER) is
l_mime VARCHAR2 (255);
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
begin
selecT OI_BLOB,DBMS_LOB.getlength (OI_BLOB)
into lob_loc,l_length
from ord_img
where oi_tno= pv_image
and oi_ti='PDF'
and oi_idx=pv_index;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (l_mime, 'application/pdf'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
END lf_html_pdf;
I get the error message as below when i execute the procedure above;
Error report:

Embed blob object into HTML region

Hi everyone!
I am interested in embedding a .swf file into an HTML region in ApEx. It's real easy when the source is a file or http server. However, could this be done if the source was a blob stored in the database?
Below is the code that works for me now in the HTML region, but I wonder if I could get the embed code to extract the source file from the database instead of a file server.
<object width="1024" height="768">
<param name="movie" value="http://webfiles.abc.com/level2/some_xcelsius_dashboard.swf">

Thanks!!!

Hi
Yes, that is easily done. See this doc on how to download a blob from a table:

When you have created your download function, put a reference to it in the src= parameter.

Display BLOB contents to client

I want to display the blob contents in the clients window and give him the option either to open or save the contents. I am able to read the contents from Oracle Blob Field and stored the contents in the ByteArrayOutputStream object but I am not able to open the contents for the client. I am using the following code
Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob(1);
int length = (int)blob.length();
byte [] b = blob.getBytes(1, length );
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.write(b,0,length);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+baos );
Please help me

I am able to see the blob contents in the client window but the file does not show as attachment which is my main purpose-- to give the user the option either to open the file or to save the file on his machine. I am also setting the setHeader as attachment , but nothing happens....and sometimes it shows a dialog box to open my jsp file itself rather than the desired file... sending you the code ..please help
File file1 = new File("c:\\Test.java");
byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)file1.length()];
BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file1));
is.read(buffer, 0, (int)file1.length());
is.close();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.write(buffer, 0, (int)file1.length());
System.out.println(baos.toString());
byte[] pass = baos.toByteArray();
response.setHeader("Content-Desposition", "attachment;filename=untitled.java");
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
//Send content to Browser
ServletOutputStream servletOut = response.getOutputStream();
servletOut.write(pass);
servletOut.close();

Display Blob content in Apex

Hi folks
I hope you can see HTML Expression code now.
I have PDFs stored in BLOB columns along with FILE_ID column in the database.
I want to display these to the APEX user on the page at runtime.
I have created a SQL Query report page to display FILE_ID column.
I am using HTML Expression property of the FILE_ID column to pull the image from the table using PROC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT procedure.
I typed folowing code int the HTML Expression text area of the FILE_ID column of the report page :
[!-- img src="#OWNER#.proc_display_document?p_id=#file_id#" ]
I am using following Procedure code:
create or replace procedure "PROC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT"(p_id number) **
mimetype varchar2(48);
n_length number;
s_filename varchar2(400);
lob_image blob;
Begin
select MIME_TYPE,dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content),file_name,blob_content
into s_mime_type,n_length,s_filename,lob_image
from tbl_upload_file
where file_id = p_id;
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(s_mime_type, 'application/octet' ),false);
--set the size so the browser knows how much it will be downloading
htp.p( 'content-length: '|| n_length );
--The file name will be used by the browser if the users does a "save as"
htp.p( 'content-Disposition: filename="' || s_filename ||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
--Download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( lob_image );
exception
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-202121,'Record matching screenfield filename not found, PROC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT.');
end;
--This is very Important
--grant execute on PROC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT to public;
This code does not work and Apex report does not display PDF image.
Any help to troubleshoot this code will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Jaya

create or replace procedure "PROC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT"(p_id number) **
mimetype varchar2(48); ... Doesn't look correct to me. What are the ** for?
Does the procedure compile?
This code does not workHow did you come to this conclusion? Any error message you got?

Display SWF content within HTML in a transparent winodow

Hi,
I have upgraded to Adobe AIR 1.5.2 and still unable to display a SWF content embedded in HTML container in a transparent window.
Is there any certain wmode setting needed?
Thanks,
ARS

Yes, you can't use wmode, "window". The "transparent" or "opaque" wmodes should work fine.

Display word/pdf document in the HTML region or report

Hi,
How to display blob content stored in a table in HTML region or report region.
I already have a process to display the image content.
But my question here is how to display word/pdf document within the html region so that the user can read the document without downloading it.
Any suggestions/solutions would be of great help.
Thanks in advance...
Thanks,
Ramesh P.

I was dead wrong.
The display of images from BLOB is a special case because APEX provides a Display Image item type.
Moreover, HTP/HTF packages also do not provide for handling of BLOB content. So AJAX cannot be used.
Which implies that the only way to get binary content, other than images, is with the use of a WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE call.
This in turn implies that it may not be feasible to "inject" the BLOB into an exist HTML DOM in the Browser.

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
<b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
<b> 2.- </b> Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
<font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
<b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]
Best Regards <b> Dino </b>.
Brains R Like Books only work when they R Open.

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Reading a Blob (CSV file) and displaying the contents

Hello Experts,
I’m currently working on a system that allows the users to upload an Excel spreadsheet (.xls) in the system. The upload page is a PL/SQL cartridge. Then I’ve written a Java servlet (using Oracle Clean Content) to convert the XLS into a CSV and store it back in the database. (it is stored in the “uploaded_files” table as a blob). I’m trying to create another procedure to read the contents of the blob and display a preview of the data on the screen (using an html table (will be done using cartridge)). After the preview, the user can choose to submit the data into the database into the “detail_records” table or simply discard everything.
Can anyone provide me any guidelines and/or code samples for reading the contents of a blob and displaying it as an html table? My data contains about 10 rows and 20 columns in the spreadsheet. I’ve been looking into using associative arrays or nested tables but I’m getting confused about how to implement them in my situation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

BluShadow,
Thanks for your response. The reason that it is a blob is that we use the same table for uploaded files for several applications. Some files are text, some excel, some other formats. Hence the table has been set up in a generic sense.
However, in my procedure, I'm using
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary and
DBMS_LOB.converttoclob
Is there any way you could possibly provide an example of how to read the contents of the file?

Display image in HTML region???

I made blank page, and on that page I made html region. Then I go to the Shared Components>Images Create and Upload the image DMD.gif
to the Application 106, that the Application with which I'm working.I trying to put that image to the html region.
In html region in Source I put this code, but it doesn't working:

I'm workin with Application Express 2.1!
Edited by: user10187476 on Aug 27, 2008 2:35 AM

In the HTML Region just put
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#DMD.gif">
or if you associated the image with the application
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#DMD.gif">

How to display the value of a javascript variable in a html region ?

Hello,
I need to display my page title or name in a html region.
I added a script in the <title> section of the template header... :
(thanks Andy : Get page name from page attributes ?
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTitle = '#TITLE#';
</script>... so I can use it in a javascript variable.
But now I don't know how to display it in a html syntax..
Thanks!
Fanny

... so I can use it in a javascript variable.Don't see any reason to modify page templates to introduce an unnecessary global JS variable when the document property is already there. Display it using an appropriate HTML element, e.g <tt>h1</tt> if it's the overall page heading.
<h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(document.title);
</script>

     Thanks

I have done exactly that in one of my applications.
I have extracted the image from the database as a byte array, and displayed it using a servlet.
Here is the method in the servlet which does the displaying:
(since I'm writing one byte at a time, it's probably not terribly efficient but it works)
     private void sendImage(byte[] bytes, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
          ServletOutputStream sout = response.getOutputStream();
          for(int n = 0; n < bytes.length; n++) {
               sout.write(bytes[n]);
          sout.flush();
          sout.close();
     }Then in my JSP, I use this:
<img src="/path-to-servlet/image.jpg"/>
The name of the image to display is in the URL as well as the path to the servlet. The servlet will therefore need to extract the image name from the url and call the database.
