Display of directory structure of remote system in GUI

Hi All,
I have the following requirement and request for your suggestion.
I have two systems namely, A & B, on each of which a separate java program is running. And, these two programs are communicating to each other through RMI.
The requirement is that, I have to show a GUI that displays the directory structure of system B from with in the program running on A.
If any one has a solution for this, request you to please advice me on this.
Looking forward for your help as early as possible.
Regards
Sekhar

Thanks for your reply Ronillo.
But, my requirement is like this.
If you can spare few min. of your time, I will
explain you my exact requirement.
A & B are two systems conected in network.
A & B are running programs (java) and program in A
will make request to program in B thru. RMI.
Now, one of these requests are... For transfering
files on system B to system A.
User working on A will make request for transfer of
few files from System B to A.
When he/she makes such request from System A, then a
GUI (open file dialog box) shall get displayed on
system A showing the directory contents of System B
so that user can make selection of file(s) (that
belong to System B) for file transfer.
So for this, I need the "remote file chooser" kind of
functionality.
We are using java RMI for this.
Your suggestions are most welcome on the possible
implementation of this.
Regards
Naga SekharIm sorry for my late reply, Im busy with my thesis project. I dont know if what I think is right but, here please study the following:
Just to list a few...
01.) javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter.
02.) javax.swing.filechooser.FileView.
03.) javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView.
04.) java.net.URL.
04.) java.net.URLConnection.
05.) java.io.BufferedInputStream.
06.) java.io.BufferedOutputStream.
07.) java.io.FileInputStream.
08.) java.io.FileOutputStream.
09.) java.io.BufferedReader.
10.) java.io.BufferedWriter.
11.) Java Native Interface.
You may create a custom file system view that you can pass to the constructor of file chooser. Google and read tutorials for more info.
Okay? ^_^ God bless you all.
Thank you -Ronillo

Display files/directories of a remote system (RIO) on a host machine (PC)

Hello,
Please assume that we are discussing software built on the standard "Labview FPGA Control on Compact RIO" sample project. The host is a standard PC running LV14 Fall edition, the remote system is an sbRIO-9636 having an SD card and a USB HDD attached. The objective is process control. The process being controlled is not relevant to the question.
This question is about implementing the following functionality: the user operates a host machine running a Labview user interface vi (UI Main.vi) locally on the host machine. Part of this vi must offer the user a built in dialogue (some express vi or another) or custom dialogue (a bespoke vi displayed on demand). The dialogue must display the directories and files of the remote system which runs RT Main.vi and it must allow the user to select a single XML file on the remote system (which contains some generic configuration information). The name of the file will then be passed to the remote system and the remote system will act to open it and populate some configuration variables.
I am sure that a widely used solution exists for this problem but I've not found the right words to type into my favourite search engine yet to produce the result. I propose the following:
1) User clicks a "select config file" button on UI Main.vi
2) The UI Main.vi event loop enqueues a message on the UI Main message queue based on the value change event caused by the button press
3) The UI Main.vi message loop enqueues a separate message on to the "UI Command Stream" network stream
4) The RT Main.vi, RT Loop - UI Commands.vi subvi receives the message from the stream and enqueues it on the RT Main.vi message queue
5) The RT Main.vi message loop performs some functions to read the disk structures, directories and file names from the RT system
6) The file and directory name data in (5) is converted to a variant and is passed along with a suitable message into the RT Writer network stream
7) The UI Main.vi periodically reads the RT Writer network stream (it's in the "monitoring loop") and enqueues the received message (from 6) into the UI message queue
8) The UI Main message queue populated the UI Main front panel with the data
9) The user selects the directory and file they desire and clicks an "ok" button
10) The ok button click causes the event loop of UI main to enqueue a message in UI Main.vi's message queue due to the value change on the ok button
11) The UI Message loop enqueues a message on to the "UI Command Stream" network stream with the selected fully qualified file name of the selected file as the data (stored as variant)
12) The RT Main.vi, RT Loop - UI Commands.vi subvi receives the message from the stream and enqueues it on the RT Main.vi message queue
13) The RT Main.vi message loop opens the XML file and populated the appropriate variables with the configuration options therein.
The user should be able to cancel the dialogue and avoid using a configuration file but I have not delt with that here.
Now for the questions:
1) Is this a logical approach?
2) Are there any suggestions for a better way?
3) Any links to some pre-written code that will allow me to impliment all or part of this with minimum effort (I'm thinking here of the dialogue box bit rather than the network streams and events bit as those structures are extant and have lots of bespoke code already in them)?
Thanks,
James
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your input. You're right I have used network streams.
I implimented more or less what I said in my original post. It works. My main objective was to keep all the config stuff, and data for the particular target on the target's SDCard. On reflection that did make my life much harder than keeping stuff on the host.
It is more (quite a lot more) involved to keep the config files on the target and send directory info etc. back to the host on demand. If I was to do this again I would probably keep the config files on the host machine and keep them in Dropbox or a Google drive so that if I had more than one host to work from (Work PC, Home PC and Laptop...) I would have all my files with little effort. Still I didn't konw that when I started.
Thanks,
James

Pages not displaying images when accessed from remote system-error on page.

Urgent pls help...
Hi,
We installed 10G database and installed application express.
we installed apex using the command @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
then changed password using @apxchpwd
then @apxldimg.sql D:\oraclexe
we installed databse in D:
in D:/oraclexe we copied apex folder and done the above operations.
we run the listener using command
java -Dapex.home=D:/oraclexe/apex -Dapex.images=D:/oraclexe/apex/apex/images -Dapex.port=8585 -jar D:/oraclexe/apex/apex.war
then for four days it was working fine,
our team can access pages from client system and we were working on our project.
But for the last two days it is not working properly. I mean apex is loading with errors(without images).
the page is showing without images and links are not working
just data's in pages is only seen.
But when i connect through localhost it is working properly.
we installed it on server then there also localhost:8080 is working
but from client system has the above said problem
Give us a solution...
Thanks in advance...

Media browser has no directory structure

Hi,
probably a pretty dumb question, but here's my problem:
the media browser in PrPro CS6 worked fine untill yesterday, now it doesn't display the directory structure in the left pane anymore. I can still reach the required directories through a shortcut to the media drive on the desktop, but I want to switch easily between directories as my footage is in different places. Also, the recent directories in the menu are missing.
Is there some way to reset the media browser? Am I missing a simple thing?
Thanks in advance, it'll probably be a simple solution...

Do I need the entire tree (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD)?
Or do I only need CLIPINF and STREAM?
What's in CLIPINF? The one thing I care most is timestamp.
Also, if I cut the mts file (making it shorter), will CPI file needs to be updated?
Thanks!

How you get the data depends on how you access the server. Maybe FTP.

Hi,
Use the FileSystemView class of javax.swing.filechooser
create an instance of the view and choose the method:
File root = FileSystemView.getHomeDirectory();as your root file object.
Maybe you need to do some modifications on your FileTreeModel...
under windows the desktop node and the first level nodes down from there

Canot display the remote system logs in the A51 system in the sm21

Hi firend,
could you plase help to me, i could not able to see the remote system logs in sm21 transaction.How can overcome this problem
Thanks,
Lakshmankumar.

Lakshmankumar,
Have you done system copy? or is it a new installation?
We had this problem after we have done system copy on to new system (New Hardware).
You can check the URL provided by Juan Reyes.
I also suggest checking few more things like below.
Are you able to see instances from SM21 u2192 system log u2192 choose u2192 remote system log u2192 instance name u2013 check to see if you are able to see other application servers are not.
If you are not able to see other apps servers try these steps.
Execute the function module TH_SERVER_LIST on all application servers (start SE37, insert TH_SERVER_LIST, press F8, press F8 again). As a result you will get a table "LIST", with a mouse clickthe contents of the table will be displayed. In the column "SERV" normally the sapdp* services should be displayed,these are used to connect to the dispatcher of the instance. Most probably you will not see a sapdp<nn> entry but some strange names,e.g. cpq-tasksmart, intraintra, tick-port.
In this case please check the/etc/services file (if using Unix) of all application servers. All duplicate entries of the interval 3200 to 3299 should be commented out if they are already used for the sapdp<nn> services.
After the restart of the instances the function module should return allsapdp* ports correctly and all remote syslogs should be displayed now.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Retrieving classical F1-help from a remote system

Hi,
when pressing Ctrl-F1 on an ABAP WebDynpro screen the system displays the F1-help text of the data element bound to the UI element. This F1-help text must be maintained in the system on which ABAP WebDynpro is running. However, I need the F1-help text of a data element that exists in a remote system.
Is there a way to change the standard behavior of ABAP WebDynpro such that the F1-help of a remote data element is displayed (certain events to which I can register and implement my own F1-help; user exits that allow to change the standard behavior)?
Thank you, Peter

When I say trying to access jsp from another system. I mean this : The jsp pages and the corresponding beans are located in my local system and it is running in Tomcat server. If I move to another system, say my friend's system who is sitting next to me and try to access this jsp page, giving the path as http://server:8080/abc.jsp, (wherein server refers to my system's name), I need to know how the bean that is running under the server know from where to bring the file.
I repeat that if all is running under my local system, it works perfectly fine. But when the same page is accessed from my friend's system, I need to know how to get the relative path.
Something has to be done in the folliwng place in the bean.
public void doZip(File source, String target) throws Exception
try
String str=source.getAbsolutePath();//the source name is passed to str
int strlen=str.length(); int x=str.lastIndexOf("\\");
String actualFileName=str.substring(x+1,strlen);
File zippedfile = new File(target);
the getAbsolutepath() returns the path of the file. i.e if the file is in the directory of c:\sajiv\somefiles\abc.bmp, the absolute path returns c:\sajiv\somefiles\abc.bmp. It does not bring the relative path that is required. When the jsp page is accessed from my friend's sytem, the path passed is c:\myfriend directory\somefile\xyz.bmp, which is fine for that system. The bean is running in my system, and it takes the path as c:\myfrienddirectory\somefiles\xyz.bmp, which is not available in the local system.
Am Imaking myself veyr clear.
Now, any solutions please.............
