Display blob on web from Forms9i

Hi,
How do I display a blob (pdf, tif, gif, jpeg) in a browser that was uploaded via webutil client_to_db? I would like the user to push a button on the form (9i) and the document(blob) would be diplayed from the database. I can't seem to find much useful info on this subject. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The first one I think of would be to download it to the client, using db_to_client, and then display it with web.show_document('file://yourpicture_or_yourdocument','_blank');
Better would probably be to display it directly from the database. There exists a package for that, cannot just remember which one. Check the database documentation, or do a search in Metalink, or try the database forum.

Martin Malmstrom

Display data in Web DynPro table from database via EJB

I have a JavaBeans model which has a method populateDataToTable()to retrieve data from database via Session bean (calling entity bean, returning ArrayList of data) and the data needed to be display in the Web DynPro table.
User Interface (Web DynPro) <-> JavaBeans Model <-> Busineess Logic (session bean) <-> Persistence (Entity Bean)<-> DB table.
The context bindiing and table part is ok. How do i load the data to the table ? what the coding to put in wdDoInit() ?
Any help would be appreciated.

in wdinit(),
Collection col = new ArrayList();
try{
MyCommandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
col = bean.getDataFromDbViaEJB();
wdContext.nodeMyCommandBean().bind(col);
} catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace(ex);
in your JavaBean model class, MyCommandBean getDatafromDbViaEJB() method:
Collection col = new ArrayList();
Collection newcol = new ArrayList();
//include your own context initialization etc...
col = local.getDataViaSessionBean(param);
// if your returned result also a bean class, reassigned it to current MyCommandBean
for (Iterator iterator = col.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
 MyOtherBean otherBean=(MyOtherBean)iterator.next();
 MyCommmandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
 bean.attribute1 = outBean.getAttirbute1();
 // get other attibutes
 newcol.add(bean);
return newcol;

When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
and it worked for me:
1. Quit Word
2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
3. Click on Go
4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.

Display blob on Webpage

How do I retrieve a Word document stored as a blob in the database to display on a Web page?

This is off the top of my head and the example will be for storing a PDF in the database and then displaying that with Adobe.
create table example
(id number not null primary key,
data blob not null,
filename varchar2(100) not null,
extension varchar2(3) not null)
-- insert some data in the table example
-- with a PDF
create or replace
procedure pr_example (p_id example.id%type) is
cursor cur_data is
select data, filename,extension from example where id = p_id;
begin
for v_rec in cur_data loop
if v_rec.extension = 'PDF' then
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf', false);
htp.p('content-disposition: filename='||v_rec.filename);
owa_util.http_header_close;
end if;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_rec.data);
end loop;
end;

Problem with displaying BLOB images on JSP page using a servlet

hi. I have a big problem with displaying BLOB images using JSP. I have a servlet that connects to the oracle database, gets a BLOB image , reads it, and then displays it using a BinaryStream. The problem is , this works only when i directly call that servlet, that is http://localhost:8080/ImageServlet. It doesn't work when i try to use that servlet to display my image on my JSP page (my JSP page displays only a broken-image icon ) I tried several coding approaches with my servlet (used both Blob and BLOB objects), and they work just fine as long as i display images explicitly using only the servlet.
Here's what i use : ORACLE 10g XE , Eclipse 3.1.2, Tomcat 5.5.16 , JDK 1.5
here is one of my image servlet's working versions (the essential part of it) :
 BLOB blob=null;
 rset=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM IMAGES WHERE ID=1");
 while (rset.next())
 blob=((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(2);
 response.reset();
 response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
 response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=42.jpeg");
 ServletOutputStream ostr=response.getOutputStream();
 InputStream istr=blob.getBinaryStream(1L);
 int size=blob.getBufferSize();
 int len=-1;
 byte[] buff = new byte[size];
 while ((len=istr.read( buff ))!=-1 ) {
 ostr.write(buff,0,len);
 response.flushBuffer();
 ostr.close(); and my JSP page code :
<img src="/ImageServlet" border="0" > If you could just tell me what i'm doing wrong here , or if you could show me your own solutions to that problem , i would be very greatful ,cos i'm realy stuck here , and i'm rather pressed for time too. Hope someone can help.

I turns out that it wasn't that big of a problem after all. All i had to do was to take the above code and place it into another JSP page instead of into a servlet like i did before. Then i just used that page as a source for my IMG tag in my first JSP. It works perfectly well. Why this doesn't work for servlets i still don't know, but it's not a problem form me anymore . Ofcourse if someone knows the answer , go ahead and write. I would still appriceatte it.
here's the magic tag : <img src="ImageJSP.jsp" border="0" > enjoy : )

Display Comments in Webi Report

Hi All,
We have a requirement, to display comments (2 or 3 paragraph in each page of report).The text needs to preserve the format (bold, bullets and colored text) i.e the format from the source data should be retained when displayed in the webi report.
Say for example the source is the excel and the text is coloured red or green , some part of the text is bold, all these formats should be preserved in the webi report also.
Can you please suggest, how to implemet this in webi report?
Thanks,
Sudha

you can take the formatted text in a word document, take a screen shot, put it in mspaint and select the required part. now place this picture in the blank cell's background image. this will preserve the formats of all kinds.
but u cant change the text dynamically.
usually we do this to give users an introduction page(tab1 in report followed by report tabs.) describing the application.
Thanks,
karthik

Display BLOB (image) column in (interactive) report

Hi,
I have a field called "picture" in my table "details" which is of type BLOB. i also have a field for "MIMETYPE" and "filename"
i additionally have a "name" and "description" columns which i need to display along with the picture as columns in a report (preferably interactive).
i have also modified the BLOB display format as per
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
what i am missing is the correct query. if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.
I have also referred to the thread
APEX 3.1 Display BLOB Image
But i don't know how to place the
dbms_lob.getlength("BLOB_CONTENT") as "BLOB_CONTENT"
in my query.
The above also makes the report column as of type "number". is this expected?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ramakrishnan

You haven't actually said what the problem is?

Something like:
select
 name
 , description
 , dbms_lob.getlength(picture) picture
from
 details
if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.For images close to this size it's easy to do this for declarative BLOB images in interactive reports using CSS. Add a style sheet with:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="PICTURE"] img {
display: block;
width: 40px;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 4px;
background: #f6f6f6;
}where the <tt>PICTURE</tt> value in the attribute selector is the table header ID of the image column. Setting only one dimension (in this case the width) scales the image with the correct aspect ratio. (The border, padding and background properties are just eye candy...)
However, scaling large images in the browser this way is a huge waste of bandwidth and produces poorer quality images than creating proper scaled down versions using image tools. For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling you can use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically, as described in this blog post.

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

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.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.
