Downloading a File with Java

Hi
My application downloads a file from a
website.
The problem I am having is that if no internet connection is present the
program throws an exception to do with "Unable to resolve Inet Address".
If there is an internet connection present it works fine.
The behaviour I would like (and indeed had until I upgraded to WInXp
Pro) is for the application to prompt the user to connect to the
internet if no connection is present.
I have been unable to locate a method in Java that checks whether an
internet connection is present of not.
I am unsure whether the problem is with the setup of the operating
system or with my code, but if Internet Explorer or Outlook are loaded
with no internet connection present then a prompt to connect to the web
is displayed.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

dear friend
u can do like this.
try {
//put your statement here
} catch(<TheException that is thrown>)
System.ot.println("connection to internet is not present");
next part of code
u can also use a finally block if u want that a
statement must be executed.hope u know syntax for that.
regards

  • How to use parameter file with java

    Is it possible to use a parameter file with Java, and is there any class/method to make it easy to call and use these parameter from a text file, other than scanning the whole text file manually as we can do normally with visual basic/c++, so we can call the program with the parameter file, like java testing c:\\testing.ini

    If I understand you correctly, you may be looking for a properties file. This is basically a text file that contains pairs of strings in the form:
    parameter1=value1
    parameter2=value2
    parameter3=value3
    ...etc.
    and the values are retrieved using the java.util.Properties class - see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
    Sample use://Call chis method once, to load the props file.
    //props file is called "demo.properties", and is
    //in a directory that is included in the classpath
        private void loadMyProperties() throws Exception
         InputStream stream = getResourceAsStream("/demo.properties");
         if(stream == null)
             throw new Exception("stream is null!");
         demoProperties = new Properties();
         demoProperties.load(stream);
         stream.close();
    // Then you can retrieve properties in your code using:
    String param3 = demoProperties.getProperty("parameter3");
    //...etc

    So I play with these parameters
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.
    I want only one log file, how to do that?

  • HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?

  • Executing a file with Java?

    Hi,
    I wanted to know how I could execute a file with java. Here are a couple scenarios - let's say I am developing an anti-spyware utility and I wanted to first write a batch file, and then create it in a folder, then run it when they click "Run". Then afterwards I want to shutdown their computer.
    My Mindset:
    - FileWriter to create the .bat and write the Batch commands.
    - Execute the batch file.
    - Execute the shutdown.exe file to reboot their PC.
    So my simple question is, how can I execute a file?
    Thanks!
    -Josh

    Well here is the code I have:
                try
                    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c test.bat");
                catch(IOException e1)
                    //NOTHING
                }Now my cmd.exe is obviously in my Windows System32 folder, and my "test.bat" file is in my C:\ root directory. So I am wondering why that wont execute. I tried a fer other things too like:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe  c:\test.bat");that didn't work either, because you can't have a "\" in a string...
    So how can I get this thing to execute the batch file?

  • Is it possible to play .rm and .wma file with java?

    Hello Friends,
    Please tell me,
    how to play .rm and .wma file with java?
    Thanks,
    Harsh Modha

    As far as I know, you can not play those files.
    Here you have the complete list of supported formats. Hope this helps.
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html
    Maybe you should try to convert from wma or rm to a supported format before attempting to play it.

  • Downloading PDF file with a servlet

    I'm working on a web application that dynamicaly creates a PDF file and then writes each character to the ServletOutputStream. Ideally, the browser is supposed to recognize the "application/pdf" MIME type and force the file to be downloaded (or opened from current location if the user should choose). When I test it on my local system, the file downloads but it uses the servlet as the file name. On my webserver I get the following problems.
    1) On all the browsers I've tested (except Internet Explorer), the output is being printed in ASCII to the display which keeps the file from downloading. Internet Explorer is the only browser that will actually download the file.
    2) When it does attempt to download the file, it is creating a file with the servlet as the name as opposed to the filename that I am assigning during creation.
    I've been reading all the related posts that I could find in these Forums but haven't been able to find a solution. If anybody has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate your knowledge. Please note that I have set up MIME-mapping for the PDF extension in the WEB.XML file on my web server.
    Here is some servlet code that handles the PDF creation and download:
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    InputStream in = null;
    ServletOutputStream out = null;
    String dir = "/www/mydirectory/";
    try {
    // Create the PDF file and retrieve the filename
    String filename = PDFCreator.main();
    //Flush the response stream and then reset it for writing a PDF to the display
    response.reset();
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+filename);
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    in = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream(dir+filename));
    int ch;
    while ( (ch = in.read()) != -1 ) {
    out.print( (char)ch );
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    if( in != null ) {
    in.close();
    if( out != null ) {
    out.flush();
    out.close();

    Your code looks correct.
    Apparently other people too have been having problems with pdf's. These links may help you solve the problem.

  • Problem downloading ZIP file with Squid-3.0

    Hi,
    I have upgraded my Linux CentOS squid proxy servers to Squid version 3.0. Since then I can not download the following file it just hangs :
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-1.5.5.59.69.zip
    I dont see any error in the squid logs or on my firewall.
    I can however download it on one of the older servers still running Squid version 2.6.
    It is just very strange as I can download ZIP files from any other website with the upgraded servers.
    Any ideas on what might cause this ?
    Thanks
    JHEFER
    Edited by: jhefer on Nov 19, 2009 12:15 AM

    If you have already interested, I found the solution. The problem is that oracle website (and probably others) uses “Vary” field in the header and squid doesn’t support this (by default). You have to download squid sources on http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/ and compile these with “--enable-http-violations” parameter :
    *./configure ‘--enable-http-violations’ ‘…’ ‘…’*
    make all
    make install
    I hope this solution will be very useful to you.

  • Downloading a file in Java

    Hello,
    I would like to write a Java application to download some files from the Internet.
    I have a basic understanding of Sockets with Perl. However, I have not done this in Java.
    I would like to connect to a file on the Internet via a Socket and copy the file to my local machine.
    I have browsed for tutorials on the Internet but have not found anything dealing with this (as mostly all information deals with downloading the JVM and such).
    I can code it myself as I am not looking for a solution. However, I am looking for some basic pointers to get started. I was hoping someone could give me a list of classes I would need, a few urls to some nice tutorials or even some very basic code examples. Again, I just need to be pointed in the right direction to get started.
    Thank you in advance!
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Wouldnt it be possible for example "protect" the
    server using username and password? For example the
    URL could be:
    http:\\www.mywebsite.com\my_upload_page.html?password=m
    password&username=myusername
    or something like that??Sure; but instead of passing clear-text usernames and passwords on the URL, the usual convention is to use encrypted authentication (ranging from BASIC authentication to CERTIFICATE authentication, where the authentication is put into the HTTP request body and encrypted at some level). But it of course still requires that the server be running some special servlet/application to accept the upload requests (hence the servlet/FTP hint).
    That's all I'm going to say about it; it can be far too much a topic for discussion here and I don't want to spend all that much time on it.

    I think the only way you'll be able to get this with DW would be to rename the file first. Might as well use filezilla.
