Extracting URL From Application Object

If I type http://mymachine.com/myapp?a=aaa&b=bbb in my browser (to access application "myapp") how do I extract just the http://mymachine.com/myapp part from the application object? I would have figured that the code below would allow me to construct that string but these methods instead return the stuff in comments...
URL theURL = application.getResource("/");
theURL.getProtocol(); // jndi
theURL.getHost(); // null
theURL.getPort(); // -1
theURL.getFile(); // org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext@!8bf135
URL theURL = application.getResource("/myapp");
theURL.getProtocol(); // null pointer exception
theURL.getHost(); // null pointer exception
theURL.getPort(); // null pointer exception
theURL.getFile(); // null pointer exception

tech note... HttpUtils is depricated for newer Servlet APIs (2.3+). Instead, you would use the same methods in the HttpServletRequest:
URL theURL = new URL(request.getRequestURL().toString());

Extract URL from a href string

Greetings,
I am trying to solve a problem (in a specific way) that will lead to the solution for another problem (which is similar).
I am trying to extract a URL from an HTML <a> tag like this:
<a href="www.someurl.com">Go to www.someurl.com</a>Can anyone help with the best solution? I've tried it using String.split() and StringTokenizer (which might work for this example), but, for my real problem, they seem quite inadequate. I'm guessing the solution involves some regex but I don't know where to look (and am quite unfamiliar with regex to know how).
Thank you in advance.

Actually, I am trying to break down many sections of the URL.
The URL I am trying to breakdown has a lot of data that I need.
I guess a better example would be:
<a href="www.someurl.com" id="url-id-43612">Link Text - data here</a>In my program, I need to grab three things: the href URL, the id, and "Link Text - data here."
Here is an SSCCE of how I am currently dealing with this:
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates

* @author Ryan
public class htmlparser {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "<a href=\"www.someurl.com\" id=\"url-id-43612\">Link Text - data here</a>";
        str = str.replaceAll("<a href=\"", "\n")
            .replaceAll("\" id=\"url-id-", "\n")
            .replaceAll("\">", "\n")
            .replaceAll("</a>", "\n");
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(str, "\n");
        String url = tokenizer.nextToken();
        String id = tokenizer.nextToken();
        String text = tokenizer.nextToken();
        System.out.println(url);
        System.out.println(id);
        System.out.println(text);
}But I am looking for a more elegant solution to the problem, is there one?

Fetch URL from Application Server of Saved File

Hi,
I wrote a file on the Application Server using Open Dataset commands.
i can see it in AL11 transaction as getting saved on the server.
How can i fetch the path , where it got saved?
Regards,
Anantha

Welcome to SDN.
there is no url assigned to the file stored in the application server, if you want to provide a link for the same from your BSP application, you have to read the contents using open dataset and set it as cached response of your bsp application and set the link url.
the code will be like below.
open dataset .. to read the contents
create object cached_response type cl_http_response exporting add_c_msg = 1.
cached_response->set_data( file_content ).
cached_response->set_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>content_type
                                     value = file_mime_type ).
cached_response->set_status( code = 200 reason = 'OK' ).
cached_response->server_cache_expire_rel( expires_rel = 180 ).
call function 'GUID_CREATE'
    importing
      ev_guid_32 = guid.
concatenate runtime->application_url '/' guid into display_url.
cl_http_server=>server_cache_upload( url      = display_url
                                       response = cached_response ).

Extract URL from Mail message

Hello Applescript-Meisters,
I have the following problem:
Every week we receive an email which contains a secure URL (https://) with always different username and password to download a ".tar" file.
Since I'm new to Applescript I tried to extract the paragraph of the email message with the line which contains the URL, but doesn't seem to work:
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to message 1 of mailbox "EXAMPLE" of account "AccountTest" whose subject begins with "Data request"
set theContent to content of theMessages
set someData to paragraphs of theContent
repeat with someData in theContent
if someData begins with "https://" then
set theURL to paragraph of someData
else
set theURL to paragraph 18 of theContent -- this works but this line can change weekly
end if
end repeat
end tell
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
gilles

The most obvious problem is how you're trying to iterate through the paragraphs.
You start off with:
set theContent to content of theMessages
which is fine - theContent now contains the text of the email.
You then extract the paragraphs of that text:
set someData to paragraphs of theContent
But you then reset 'someData' to be the iterator in a loop:
repeat with someData in theContent
Additionally, you're iterating through theContent, which is a single block of text.
I think what you mean to do is iterate through the paragraphs of theContent, like:
repeat with someData in (get paragraphs of theContent)
Once you have this, you know someData is the paragraph you're currently looking at so you can:
set theURL to someData
Finally, you do not want an 'else ... set theURL' statement because that will reset theURL every time you find a line that doesn't begin with "https://" (e.g. if paragraph 10 starts with https:// you set theURL to that paragraph, but as soon as you move onto line 11 you reset theURL because the paragraph doesn't begin with https://
To address this you should just iterate through the paragraphs and only set theURL to paragraph 18 if you didn't find any matching lines.
Putting it all together:
set theURL to "" -- default value for theURL
theContent to content of theMessage
repeat with someData in (get paragraphs of theContent)
if someData begins with "http://" then
set theURL to someData
end if
end repeat
if theURL = "" then
try
set theURL to paragraph 18 of theContent
end try
end if
Note that I've included the 'paragraph 18' line in a try block. That's so that the script doesn't fail if there are less than 18 paragraphs in the message (you can't get paragraph 18 of a 17-paragraph document).

How to extract data from OMElement object file attachment SOAP Service

We are having Axis2 Tomcat6 Webservice on SOAP WSDL
The Webservice method is like this
public String uploadGpxFile(OMElement omEle) throws AxisFault {
    // Extract file attachment from omEle
   // store in database
   return "ok";
So, I just went through the documentation and executed
omEle.getText();
This printed the attached data like this
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:uploadGpxFileResponse xmlns:ns="..........">
         <ns:return><![CDATA[ MY REQUIRED XML DATA IS HERE ]]></ns:return>
      </ns:uploadGpxFileResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
So, I essentially want to extract this data and store in database. My simple question is how to do it!
It sounds crazy but, I am quite new to Java. I was actually debugging client and found there is a problem in server and started fixing it!! It would be very helpful if someone helps

Hi,
as far as i know you have to use sql to archive your goal, i.e. write your own methods for every complex sql-statement you want to use. thats the sad thing about the whole ORM-concept.

Extract URL from HTML text

Suppose you have the following String that is body text with HTML.
String bodyText = " My name is Blake. I live in New York City. See my image here: <img href="http://www.blake.com/blake.jpg"/> isn't my picture awesome? Tata for now!"
I want to extract the URL that contains the location of the image in this bodyText. The ideal would be to create a function called public String extractor(String bodyText) to be used
String imageURL = extractor(bodyText);
//imageURL should be "http://www.blake.com/blake.jpg"
My first thoughts are using reg exp, yet the place i would find to use that would using the .replace in String class. I am by no means an expert on reg exp so I haven't taken too much time to try to figure it out with reg exp. I obviously could do a linear search of the bodyText and do a ton of if statements, but thats just poor coding. I want see if anyone came across this or has insight to this problem.
Thanks for all the help,
Blake

How would the regexp change if there were multiple img tags within the String.I don't rightly know, I'm just a raw beginner in regexes.
Would this regexp return all the img URLs found in the String.No, as it stands it would return only the last URL. But this will:String bodyText = " My name is Blake. " +
      "I live in New York City. See my image here: " +
      "<img href=\"http://www.blake.com/blake.jpg\"/>" +
      " isn't my picture awesome? Here's another: " +
      "<img href='http://www.blake.com/Vandelay.jpg'/>" +
      " Tata for now!";
String regex = "(?<=<img\\shref=[\"'])http://.*?(?=[\"']/?>)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile (regex);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher (bodyText);
while (matcher.find ()) {
   System.out.println (matcher.group ());
}Note the enhancement that takes into account that both single and double quotes are legal in HTML. But unlike the earlier example, this does not tolerate more than one space between <img and href=, I couldn't find a way to achieve that.
Visit this thread later, there are some real regex experts around who may post a better solution.

Extract URLs from webpage

Hi guys,
I'd like to know if there is a possibility to find hyperlinks on a webpage and write their targets to a text file using applescript.
I'll take youtube as an example, because nearly everyone is familiar with it:
When I click on a username, I will be redirected to the Channel Page of that particular user. What I want is to get the URL of this Channel Page.
I think I'll have to create a list, with all the URLs in it, then filter them and save them into a text file.
The problem is that I can't find a way to do that, whereas Automator offers that feature.
Hope you can help me!
Cheers

I have no experience with automator but I think I understand. Here is something to get you started.
set theURL to text returned of (display dialog "Enter URL" default answer "http://www.")
try
set theSource to (do shell script "curl " & theURL)
on error
display dialog "Error getting website source."
end try
This will set the variable theSource to the source code of the entered webpage. You then need to search through this source code and extract the information that you want. I'm still not exactly sure what that is though and there are going to be a ton of links in it. Hope that helps at least a little.

Extract values from an object trapped in TreeMap

I can't figure out how to get the balance of an account Object (consisting of name plus balance)which is stored in a TreeMap.
Normally it would go like this: For example
accounts[2].getBalance();
Normally would return the value for the specified account.
Can anybody help?
Thanks.
import java.util.*;
class Account
    private double theBalance    = 0.00;   // Balance of account
    private String theName       = "";
public static void main (String args[]) {
                Account accounts[] = new Account[4];
TreeMap accountsMap = new TreeMap();
accountsMap.put( "0023", new Account( "Gordon", 100.0 ) );
accountsMap.put( "0123", new Account( "James", 200.0 ) );
accountsMap.put( "0001", new Account( "Edward", 300.0 ) );
accountsMap.put( "7777", new Account( "Percy", 400.0 ) );
BankStats bs = new BankStats();
LinkedList r = bs.accountsBelow( accountsMap, 250.0 );
System.out.println(r);
    public Account( String name, double openingBalance )
      theBalance = openingBalance;
      theName    = name;
    public double getBalance()
      // assert theBalance >= 0.00;
      return theBalance;
    public String getName()
      return theName;
    public double withdraw( final double money )
      // assert theBalance >= 0.00;
      if ( theBalance >= money )
        theBalance = theBalance - money;
        return money;
      } else {
        return 0.00;
    public void deposit( final double money )
      // assert theBalance >= 0.00;
      theBalance = theBalance + money;
class BankStats {
      public LinkedList accountsBelow (TreeMap accountsMap, double ammount) {
           LinkedList list1 = new LinkedList();
         for (int i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
           String no = Integer.toString(i);
           for (int z =0; no.length()<4 ; z++) {
                no= "0"+no;
            if (accountsMap.get(no)!= null) {
            System.out.println   (accountsMap.get(no)); // WANT TO GET THE BALANCE FOR THE ACC       OBJECT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS KEY (String no)
           if (accountsMap.get(no)< ammount) {
                             list1.add(accountsMap.get(no)); }
      return list1;}
      public LinkedList accountsBelowNotFrozen (Account accounts[], double ammount) {
           LinkedList list2 = new LinkedList();
         for (int i = 0; i < accounts.length; ++i) {
           String nam = accounts.getName();
if (accounts[i] != null) {
if (accounts[i].getBalance() < ammount & !nam.endsWith("[Frozen]")) {
          list2.add(accounts[i]); } } }
     return list2;}

Use this method call to retrieve the balance (or anything else):
Account acc = (Account) accountsMap.get(no)
double bal = acc.getBalance();or simply:
double bal = ((Account) accountsMap.get(no)).getBalance();

Can you extract higher resolutions from Smart Objects or Linked Smart Objects?

When I am designing at 1x resolution, can I extract assets from smart objects or linked smart objects for 2x or more? If so, how do they scale up?

Yes with caveats.
PSD and Illustrator smart objects are also re-rendered and smoothly scaled to the requested resolution.
Other smart objects (including those with filters) are only scaled up from the resolution they are at within the Photoshop file. If you want them to re-render, you can paste them at 100% resolution into a linked smart object and get the smooth scaling.

Populating a complex table from another object collection in Syclo Agentry applications

Hello Experts,
I have an object which contains a table data as part of a collection property.
Can I use this object to insert the data in another complex table? I am unable to use a separate bapi wrapper to populate the complex table in this case.
As I have seen the existing complex tables in the Work Manager applications, they all get populated at the beginning of the main transmit.
at this instant, I don't have the data in one of my objects based on which I have to populate my complex table.
So, after the object is filled using a BAPI call, I have to fill up this complex table.
Is it possible to populate this table this way?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arihant Kothari

Arihant,
Yes. You can create an Update Complex Table transaction. It works against the Main Object, but then you choose which complex table you want to update on the transaction. Add the properties you want to update and populate them. To populate from your object collection, use "From other object property" for your initial value on a property, then point to the object and property you want to populate from: Whatever Object -> Whatever property. Use a looping sub-action to loop over your object collection and create/update complex table records with your new transaction. Finish the original sub-action with an Apply. Don't apply after each CT record create because that is much slower. Use a single Apply step after your Loop in the main action. If the CT record already exists, it will be updated. If it does not exist, it will be created.

Invalid method "Save As" from Excel application object

I have Windows 2000 and Excel 2002 installed on my machine.
I down loaded "renamed Excel 2000 workbook.vi" from NI website. Relinked ref num to Excel application object but get the error of invalid method (Save As). Tried to relink invoke node to Save As by selecting method from drop down menu. However this method is not on the list. Tried other excel objects but can not find "Save As" method. Has this been removed/moved?

I was able to correct the error by relinking the Workbooks->Open to Open. This changes the subsequent Invoke Node from IAppEvents to _Workbook. There you will find the Save As method.

How to Use AccessibleObjectFromWindow API in VBA to Get Excel Application Object from Excel Instance Window Handle

I need to get the Excel.application object from a window handle using AccessibleObjectFromWindow. I can't seem to make the code work. First, I successfully search for the XLMAIN windows. Then, when I get a handle, I execute the AccessibleObjectFromWindow
function. It seems to return a value of -2147467262 in all cases. Therefore, I believe that it is returning an error value. I can't figure out how to determine the meaning of this value.
If it is an error value, I believe that one or more arguments are in error. My best guess at present is that the GUID argument is incorrect. I have tried two GUID values: {00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and {90140000-0016-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}.
I have seen both used in conjunction with OBJID_NATIVEOM. Neither one seems to work. I really would prefer not to use the second one as it has an Excel major and minor version number. I would hate to have to change this code, if a new minor version appeared.
The attached code has been commented to show which parts have been shown to work and which not. I'm at my wits end and really need help.
Thanks

I don't think you can return a reference to Excel's main window like that as you are attempting to do.

Note as written if an instance does not have any loaded workbooks a reference will not be returned (though a workbook can be added using DDE, but convoluted!)
FWIW there are two other very different approaches to grab all running Excel instances though something along the lines of the above is simplest.

I checked the mentioned class in R/3 4.7, This class is not available. I hope this is only in CRM because of PC-UI.
Any Suggesions how can i achieve this execution of BSP.
In one of the document i saw the Business Object BUS1006 as an example but i could not locate the way to reutilize the similar way.
Thanks & Regards
