File Filter in AWT

The FileDialog class in AWT does not include a file filter! The FileFilter class doesn't work properly, I tried using it in different ways, but it doesn't filter the files.
How can this be achieved?
TECHNOSAM.

Using setFile("*.txt") works, but it has limitations.
Once some file is clicked, the Filter effect is lost. There has to be some why by implementing the FilenameFilter interface. It's accept method can be implemented. I tried this method, but doesn't work. Or there could be some mistake in the way I have done it. This is the way i have done it:
class MyFilter implements FilenameFilter
public MyFilter() {}
public boolean accept(File dir,String name)
if(name.endsWith("gif") || name.endsWith("jpg"))
return true;
return false;
FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(parent,"File Open...");
MyFilter f = new MyFilter();
fd.setFilenameFilter(f);
Is this alright? This does no good. Does somebody have a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
TechnoSam.

JFileChooser: folder disapper for choosing when file filter is set

I have created a JFileChooser for saving csv file. After I have add .csv as the choosable file filter, all folders disapper even though I have set file selection mode as FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES! It will be shown only when I choose "All files" in the file type. Is there any way to display the folder together with all the csv files together?
Here is my code sippnet:
javax.swing.JFileChooser saveDialogBox = new javax.swing.JFileChooser("C:\\");
saveDialogBox.setDialogTitle("Exporting...");
saveDialogBox.setDragEnabled(true);
saveDialogBox.setFileSelectionMode(javax.swing.JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
FileFiltering fileExtension = new FileFiltering();
saveDialogBox.addChoosableFileFilter(fileExtension);
int retMethod = saveDialogBox.showSaveDialog(this);

public class Test extends JFrame {
    public Test() {

     JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
     jfc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
     jfc.setFileFilter(new FileFilter() {
         public boolean accept(java.io.File file) {
          return file.isDirectory() || file.getName().endsWith(".txt");
         public String getDescription() { return "*.txt"; }

File filter removing the All Files option

I am trying to remove the All Files option from the file filter. Someone suggested doing this:
    public FileFilter getAcceptAllFileFilter() {
      return null;
    }but I am unsure how to use it. My filechooser is this:
      final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
      fc.setFileFilter(new ExtensionFileFilterClass());ExtensionFileFilterClass is used to filter out some extensions and only keep .txt ones. It works except for the All Files part. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Allyson

I think my subject is probably misleading. I WANT to remove the All Files option. I only want to have the *.txt option on the filter. And it won't go away. Can I make it go away? I only want the user to have the ability to pick from *.txt files, not any. Thanks.

How to set file filter in FileUpload?

Is there any way to set the file filter on FileUpload? Let's say, I only want the user to see all .xml files. Currently, the default is all files of any extension are displayed.
Thanks. c",?

The dialog which appears is solely controlled by the browser. I don't see a way to set the file filter to this dialog.

File filter in jdeveloper

hi Forum
plz help me write a file filter in jdeveloper.i need to filter *.class and *.jar.
divya

Hi,
in your code you can:
boolean designtimeChecked = false;
boolean isDesigntime = false;
if (!designtimeChecked){
//prevent this code being executed in designtime
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest rq = (HttpServletRequest)fctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
isDesigntime = rq.getServerPort()==-1;
designtimeChecked=true;
later on you just call if (!isDesigntime){
// execute code

File Filter

Hi,
How Can I create file filter? I Need to show only the specyfic type of file
in JFileChooser open or save ?
Best Regards,
Gutek

You have to subclass the javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter abstract class, add your filter object to your JFileChooser user-choosable filters list ( addChoosableFileFilter() method) and make it current ( setFileFilter() method ).
Look at this:
/** A simple FileFilter discriminating files by extension
* (only regular files allowed)
* @author Giorgio Maone
import java.io.File;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
public class ExtensionFileFilter extends FileFilter {
String[] extensions;
String desc;
public ExtensionFileFilter(String desc,String[] extensions) {
this.extensions=extensions!=null?extensions:new String[]{};
this.desc=desc==null?extList():desc+" ("+extList()+")";
private String extList() {
int len=extensions.length;
if(len>0) {
   String ret=extensions[0];
   for(int j=1; j<len; ret+=", "+extensions[j++]);
   return ret;
} else return "";
public boolean accept(File f) {
if(f.isFile()) {
   String fname=f.getName().toLowerCase();
    for(int j=extensions.length; j-->0;) {
     if(fname.endsWith(extensions[j])) return true;
return false;
public String getDescription() {
    return desc;
//test main
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFileChooser fc=new JFileChooser();
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new ExtensionFileFilter("Pictures",new String[]{".gif",".jpg",".jpeg",".png"}));

fc.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);

File filter on F4

Hi,
I'm using the method below to allow the user to select a file from their local drive. The file filter *.txt parameter does not work though, all it does is put .txt in the File Type and not allow you choose any other type - but it shows ALL files. I want the user to just see the .txt's in their local drive. Thanks

Setting Self Created File Filter as Default

Hello Guys,
I need some help out here. I have created a simple file filter and I have added it to a JFileChooser. Now when the FileChooser Dialog is loaded it shows the All Files Filter whereas I want the mine to be the default filter when the dialog loads. Also I do not want the Default File Filter (All Files) to be disabled. So both the filters should be enabled with my filter loading as default at runtime. Please Help.

Here is the sample code,
//=====================================================================
//Assuming that you have a JFileChooser object created by the reference fileChooser
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
//To disable the default select all FIleFIlter call setAcceptAllFIleFilterUsed(false);
fileChooser.setAcceptAllFIleFilterUsed(false);
//set your desired FileFIlter
//Please note that the last filter is the one selected by default
//Suppose you have three FileFIlters namely
//FIleFIlterA, FIleFIlterB,FIleFIlterC
//fileChooser.setFileFIlter(yourFIlterA);
//fileChooser.setFileFIlter(yourFIlterB);
//fileChooser.setFileFIlter(yourFIlterC);
//Now FIleFIlterC will be shown selected by default
fileChooser.setFileFIlter(yourFIlter);
//Call any of the showDialog methods to open a dialog
fileChooser.showDialog(null, "Select File");
//===========================================================================
Hope this will solve your problem
Best regards,

Addition of jar files to an AWT MI project

Hi,
I need to add two jar files to my project. These jar files contain GUI component classes.
When I import the jar files to <My APP>/classes, they are visible. Once I build the project, they are removed.
How can I add those jar files to my project.
Regards
Raja Sekhar

Hi Raja
I got a similar problem as you. I tried to add external jar files to my AWT project. I also exported through 'Export Jar / Zip File' option in NWDS. But I could not reimport it or use it in MI Client. I finally created a addon and assigned to the client device. It worked fine. I could access the addon classes in my AWT applications.

Checking a file filter

I've managed to create a file saver dialog, with some custom file filters, called JpegSave and PPM save.
I'm trying to check, once a file saver dialog has been created, to check what the current file filter is.
Is it possible to check, by writing some code, whether the current file saver dialog's file filter is a certain file filter?

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work.
Wouldn't that code just create a new FileFilter and
set it to the current filter?
I'm trying to find out what the current filter is and
check if it is the same as a certain file filter
getFileFilter() returns to you the file filter that is currently in use by the JFileChooser. If you want to compare it with another file filter to see if it is the same, do:
if (filter == getFileFilter()) { .. }
Most likely, though, what you really would want to do is see if it's the same TYPE of file filter. So you'd want to do something like:
if (fileChooser.getFileFilter() instanceof filter.getClass()) { .. }

File Filter for a Jlist

I'm new to filtereing, ive been looking on site and this one, but can't quite get round the filtering process.
Most filter examples I've seen are for Filechooser, but this program is a Jlist.

Can anyone help

I tried FileFilter, but the system wouldn'y excpt
that.
Would it be directly related to the file only.Just how did you try "FileFilter"? You know that you have to implement one first, don't you?

Upload file - filter problem

Hi all,
I have a problem with upload file using JSF RI 1.1 + tomahawk.
I think that the problem is in the web.inf filter definition because I get these warns:
17:11:51,875 WARN Digester:127 - [ConverterRule]{faces-config/converter} Merge(null,java.math.BigDecimal)

And also this error when I click in a button to go to the upload page:

When I click in the button to go to the upload pages the first time i get this error ad with the second click I get the right page.
It seems like he go to the filter the first time and then to the faces servlet the second, it is possible?

IDoc - File filter in Message Mapping

I'm trying to move employees from an IDoc to a File. I want to filter on field E1BEN31-LEVL1 and only create ROW in the FILE if E1BEN31-LEVL1 = '1000'. How do I do this?
Source: 1 single IDoc with multiple employees in it
BENEFIT3->
           IDOC->
                    E1BEN01->
                                 E1BEN02-> (different E1BEN02 segment for each employee)
                                          BEGDA
                                          ENDDA
                                          LEVL1 (filter field)
                                          etc.
Target: File with multiple line items
FILE->

               NAME
               ADDRESS
