Editing file over the web

I'm not sure whether this is the correct section to post this problem.... anyway.... yesterday one of my friend demo to me a lotus based application for document management system.... it is a web based application. User just invoke any of his/her favorite browser, login and then click on the document to be edited. Then the browser ( IE or Netscape ) will invoke the appropriate editor for the document (e.g Microsoft Word ). When the user save the document, the document is saved in the server as new version...
So I wonder if it is possible to implement the same feature using java..... if yes which Java Technology should I used...

I'm pretty sure that lotus stuff was based on WebDav which is a separate technology.
Quote: WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.

Applet security -- accessing files over the Web.

I guess the topic pretty much sums up my question..
I have an applet and I want to read a file from over the web.
After creating a URL, I try to retrieve an inputstream by calling openStream() but I get all the java.security.AccessControlException: access denied rubbish..
How do I get it working ?

The applet can only read data from the server where it is saved. For security purposes applets have limited capabilities. They can't write data to a remote hard drive or read data from remote machines. A way around this is to create a "trusted applet". Basically what it does is informs any machine you are trying to access that you wrote this applet and are responsible for any negative outcome. There is a tutorial provided by Sun that can explain this better than I can. Here is the link:
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/index.html
Good luck.

Image file over the Web

I can't seem to get a certin image file to be transfered using an HTTP-based Web server.
The IO used to read the files is a BufferedReader and PrintWriter.
The file is read using the readLine() method.
Some of the images show up, and others wont.
There is also a specific file that wont work. Yet, like the other files
it too is a Windows bitmap image (but much smaller in pixel size).
Help! What IO tools should I be using??

I will attempt this, but, the Reader/Writers I am currently using do transfer the data bit-for-bit to the Web browser. I have 3 images loading, 2 work and 1 does not. That 1 is smaller in pixel size then the others. It is an icon of a folder that is about 15 x 13 pixels.

How Best to Search pdf Files Over the Web

I have a large number of pdf files. (about 73,000). These are scans of old newspapers that have been OCR'd and saved as pdf. I work in a library and need to find the best way to make these text-searchable through my library's website.
Do I need to create an index?
What I would like to do is have a search box on my web page where a user can enter a keyword, and pull up the pages that contain that word.
Any suggestions on how best to do this are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Google can do it for you if you use their search engine as the basis of your library search capabilities.

Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

Hi,
On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
QUESTION(s):
1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
Please Note:-
1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
Many Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Bill,
This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
I hope this helps.

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the
report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

How can I download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server?

I am trying to download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server. I've tried doing it with Datasocket as suggested in these articles,
<a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/f3cc5f7e60a75cb2862567e700696abf?opendocument">Retrieving an Unformatted Text File via FTP or HTTP Using DataSocket</a>
<a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4FA09E7B3674DA34C1256BD400555C41?OpenDocument">Download a Text File from a Password Protected URL Using DataSocket</a>
but all I get is error 1181 (protocol unrecognized by Datasocket).
I know I have the URL correct, because I can put it into a web browser and it works fine - I can download the file manually.
But I want to have a LabVIEW program do the download automatically.
I have the internet toolkit, but don't have the foggiest clue how to use it, and am using LabVIEW 7.1
I am a bit out of my depth here, so any advice welcome.
Regards,
Mark.

MIG,
What is the URL to the website? Is it an FTP site? The articles you referenced are for specific transfer protocols. If the stie you're trying to get to doesn't follow these protocols, then you'll get the error you're seeing. You may have to use ActiveX to control IE and download the files programmatically.

Visual Studio 2013. Viewing a PDF file via the Web Browser control in Windows 8.1

I am writing a Windows Forms application in which I need to view PDF files via the Web Browser control. When the control is given the Navigate() command, Windows takes over and asks which program I want to open the file with. All was fine with VS 2010 and
XP. I have un-installed "PDF Complete", which was the default PDF viewer, but I now get asked for an alternative.
Thanks in advance.
Mike Saunders

Hi Mike,
It seems that we could use Internet Explorer to open a local .PDF file if it has the Adobe Reader. I doubt that the web control would be related to it. Like the MVP's suggset in the following thread, maybe it would be related
to certain plug-in tools in your side like the adober reader.

Export Release Build Flash Builder 4.5 fails to load over the web.

Exported Release Build Application fails to load over the web. You can reproduce using the following steps:
1. Create New Flex Project in Trial Flash Builder 4.5.
2. Use the default Flex 4.5 sdk.
3. Configure as a web application.
3. Place the following MXML code in the main application file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx = "http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
minWidth = "955"
minHeight = "600">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
<s:TextArea text = "Hello World!" width = "100%" height = "100%">
</s:TextArea>
</s:Application>
3. Save the main application file and Export Release Build to bin-release.
4. Place all files in bin-release on IIS web server in a web accessible location.
5. Go to the web accessible location in any browser with newest flash player and view the application's html page.
Actual Results:
Flash movie appears blank. Context menu shows Movie Not Loaded. Network traffic shows application main swf downloaded. Framework dependent swfs not downloaded.
Expected Results:
Movie loads. Hello World! appears in text box. Context menu does not show Movie Not Loaded. Framework dependent swfs downloaded.
Workaround (if any):
Deploy on an Apache web server.
The tests were run on IIS 7.x (7.0 for one, and 7.5)
Flex application was built using Flex 4.5.0 SDK pre-bundled release (built-in flex 4.5 with Flash Builder 4.5 trial) on Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869)
Flash Player 10.3.181.14
Example failing website:
http://staging.ibenergy.com/Test.html
Any idea as to why my exported release build fails? Any help would be appreciated.

Just tried this out on an IIS server with Flash player 10.3.181.14 - it worked.
Are you using the release version of Flash Builder 4.5 with the release version of Flex SDK (not a prior SDK build)?
The URL you mentioned gives me a 403 forbidden error.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

WIFI dies when transferring big files over the network

Hi, I have Dell Inspiron 1520 with ipw3945 driver, when I transfer big files over the network, my wifi dies, anybody knows what could it be? If you need additional information, feel free to ask...
Thanks in advance

I guess we shall see. I can't imagine we are the only 7 with these issues. Mine is mainly just lag... and overall slowness. I hope to work through this. If it lasts much longer I will have to revert back all 3 of my lappies to FC which I really do not want to do. But on the lappies i connect via wireless 90% of the time and need it to work.
By the way how are you guys configuring your wifi? I am using the iwl drivers and wicd.
Well I did some more testing and loaded up netcfg and still get the same results so that rules out that part. I also did some packet captures and I am getting a bunch of tcp retransmissions followed by tcp segment lost followed by a reset which in turn kills my rdp session (remote desktop protocol). I also went back several versions of the uucode driver and still get the same reults so I guess it seems to be a kernel issue. Back to FC I go. Damn shame...

Font delay in displaying correctly over the web

Hello all,
I've made a PDF file from a PageMaker document. All fonts have embedded correctly. When the PDF file is opened directly from my computer's hard drive it immediately displays correctly. However, if the PDF is uploaded to my website then viewed over the web, a font with large lettering, which I am using as a title at the head of a short story, initially does not display correctly. It seems to take two or three seconds before it "switches" from a basic, flat non-serif to the correct script font I've chosen. Is this normal behaviour, or is there something I can do so that the font lettering displays correctly as soon as it appears on-screen? Viewers have found this delay a bit off-putting.
Thanks,
Roger3

To deploy your forms on the Web you need to install Oracle9iAS EE.
This will install and configure the Oracle Forms Server for you.
Your next step will be to run the fmx that you currently have assuming that you are deploying your application server on the same OS as your client server development.
I suggest that you read this paper first:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/forms9icstowebmigration.pdf
If you want to understand the architecture better:

And then get more info on the Forms Upgrade Center at:

Download file from the web

Hey,
I'm struggling to download files from the web.
The first approach I though of was simply opening the url in Safari, but it would just open the file, not download it.
Then there is an application called "URL Access Scripting", but I can't figure out how it works.
That might sound stupid, since it has only a download and an upload command, but they do not work.
The download function asks for a file specification, what the #$^& is that?
I tried supplying a file, but to no avail.
For obvious reasons I can't make an alias of a not yet existing file, so what do I put in there?
It seems file specification is a deprecated format.
My last resort was running curl in a shell script, which works, but that feels hackish.
Is there any good way to do this?

Hi pepsel,
Let's take an example. Suppose that you want to download “UltiCalc Mac 2.5” (freeware) from [this Web page|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/utilities/ulticalcmac.html]. You can proceed as follows:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
set theURL to "http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=23023&cat=25&platf orm=osx&method=sa/ulticalc_mac.zip"
set theFile to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/My_download.zip" -- same extension as the file to download
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download theURL to theFile
--END OF SCRIPT
Of course, you should replace “pierre” with the name of your own home folder.
Hope it can help.
