File Read/Write Question

Hello Everyone, nice to see a large Flex user group.
I am a beginner to flex and I have a simple question. I am
currently writing a web application in Flex. I compute some data
and all I want to do is take this string and write it to a file on
the local disk. In other words, writing some data to a location on
the disk. Please note that this is a web application. I did some
searching and could not find anything that works...since it is a
flex web application they have some tight security. I am guessing
we might need some help from javascript or something but do not
know how to do that. If anyone could help me with this it would be
really helpful. Thanks.

This is correct - web apps cannot write to the local disk.
Imagine you went to a web site that has a banner SWF and that SWF
was written to open a file on your disk and fill up your disk
drive. Or perhaps worse, the SWF opens a file and reads your
personal and financial information. You just cannot be sure what is
going to happen when you visit a web site. So we made the Flash
Player as secure as possible and removed the ability to read or
write local files.
AIR, on the other hand, does not have that restriction. So
you might want to look into that if writing to the local disk is
important.

File read/write in Oracle JVM

Are there any known issues around file read/write in Oracle JVM. I finally got around the issue of getting the error that says no permission is there by giving <<ALL FILES>> option, but still I don't see a file being created. Any help is appreciated.
Code:
try{
fwriter = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("debugLog.txt",true));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.err.println("IO Exception for Output File" + ioe.getMessage());
Thanks.

A couple of suggestions:
1. (Please don't be offended...) I assume you have some stuff like:
fwriter.println("hello");
fwriter.flush();
fwriter.close();
in your try block?
2. Try catching FileNotFoundException and SecurityException also.
3. Try providing a full path on the file just to make sure it's not buried somewhere odd.

Missing file read/write feature on Mac OS X?

HI,
i am missing the file read/write statistics on Mac OS X. First i thought i just need to enable it in the template editor under "Advanced -> Java Application" but the two list items are simple not there. I ve seen a screenshot somewhere from the JMC where the two options are present but not for me. Can anyone tell me if this is a platform issue or how to enable it?
Thx
Marc

You didn't say which version you are using, but I think what you are seeing is that the file and socket events are not available in JDK 8 only in JDK 7. This is a known regression that will be fixed in the next update to JDK 8.

Blob for binary file, read/write problems

Hi,
I am relatively new to this type of development so apologies if this question is a bit basic.
I am trying to write a binary document (.doc) to a blob and read it back again, constructing the original word file. I have the following code for reading and writing the file:
private void save_addagreement_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Save the agreement to the database
int test_setting = 0;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
string constr;
if (test_setting == 0)
constr = "User Id=royalty;Password=royalty;data source=xe";
else
constr = "User ID=lob_user;Password=lob_password;data source=xe";
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection(constr);
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
// step 2: read the row
OracleTransaction myOracleTransaction = myOracleConnection.BeginTransaction();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column FROM blob_content WHERE id = 2";
myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReadre[\"id\"] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("OracleBlob = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
myOracleBlob.Erase();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(agreement_filename.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
Console.WriteLine("Opened " + agreement_filename.Text + " for reading");
int numBytesRead;
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fs.Length];
numBytesRead = fs.Read(byteArray, 0, (Int32)fs.Length);
Console.WriteLine(numBytesRead + " read from file");
myOracleBlob.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine(byteArray.Length + " written to blob object");
Console.WriteLine("Blob Length = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReadre["id"] = 2
OracleBlob = 0
Opened D:\sample_files\oly_in.doc for reading
56832 read from file
56832 written to blob object
Blob Length = 56832
My write to file code is:
private void save_agreement_to_disk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string filename;
SaveFileDialog savedoc = new SaveFileDialog();
if (savedoc.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
filename = savedoc.FileName;
// create an OracleConnection object to connect to the
// database and open the connection
OracleConnection myOracleConnection = new OracleConnection("User ID=royalty;Password=royalty");
myOracleConnection.Open();
// create an OracleCommand object to hold a SQL statement
OracleCommand myOracleCommand = myOracleConnection.CreateCommand();
myOracleCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT id, blob_column " +
"FROM blob_content " +
"WHERE id = 2";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
myOracleDataReader.Read();
Console.WriteLine("myOracleDataReader[id] = " + myOracleDataReader["id"]);
//Step 2: Get the LOB locator
OracleBlob myOracleBlob = myOracleDataReader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(1);
Console.WriteLine("Blob size = " + myOracleBlob.Length);
//Step 3: get the BLOB data using the read() method
byte[] byteArray = new byte[500];
int numBytesRead;
int totalBytes = 0;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
while ((numBytesRead = myOracleBlob.Read(byteArray, 0, 500)) > 0)
totalBytes += numBytesRead;
fs.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
Console.WriteLine("numBytes = " + numBytesRead + " totalBytes = " + totalBytes);
Console.WriteLine((int)fs.Length + " bytes written to file");
fs.Close();
myOracleDataReader.Close();
myOracleConnection.Close();
This gives the following console output:
myOracleDataReader[id] = 2
Blob size = 0
0 bytes written to file
If I manually add the blob file using the following:
DECLARE
my_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
-- load the BLOB
my_bfile := BFILENAME('SAMPLE_FILES_DIR', 'binaryContent.doc');
SELECT blob_column
INTO my_blob
FROM blob_content
WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(my_bfile, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(my_blob, my_bfile, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(my_bfile), 1, 1);
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSEALL();
COMMIT;
END;
COMMIT;
The write to file works perfectly. This tells me that there must be something wrong with my code that is writing the blob to the database. I tried where possible to following the Oracle article using large objects in .NET but that (along with most things on the internet) focus on uploading text files.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.

myOracleCommand.CommandText = "insert into blob_content(id, blob_column) values 2, empty_blob())";
OracleDataReader myOracleDataReader = myOracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
This looks wrong, you shouldn't be using ExecuteReader unless you expect to get a result back. Try using ExecuteNonQuery to do the insert.

File read write

Hi guys:
its an easy question so i will explain as simply and as elborately as possible:
i am reading from a file
public void appendFile() {
    try {
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("temp\\text.txt"));
      BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("temp\\text.txt", true));
      String str;
      String res;
      while ( (str = in.readLine()) != null) {
        res = process(str);
        if (res != null) {
          try {
            out.write(res);
            out.close();
          catch (IOException e) {
            log.info(e.toString());
      in.close();
    catch (IOException e) {
}what i am trying to do is : read a file read though and where i get a certain string i replace it with another string :
no looking at this code tell me if i will be writing at the same position or not.. i dont really remember if the cursor for readline and write line is the same :
forexample : i read through ten lines and find the string i am looking for and i write at that moment witha new strinmg:
1) will it write on the same line and write over the text that is already written
OR
2) will it write on the same line and move the text on that (that i am intending to replace) line to the next..
OR
3) will it write in the beginning of the file

found the error i think : in FileWriter ("",true);
the true defind that it hould be written in the end of file ... and not the begiining
now i will see if the flase will write to the beginning or where the readline was done...

Can I batch change user access to folders & file read-write permissions?

I had a corrupted user account on my iMac and after weeks of trying repairs I followed a forum suggestion to delete my account.
Before doing so I synced all my document folders and files (since 2004) over my LAN to an external hard drive that was attached to my MacMini. I then deleted the iMac account.
Next I backed up my Mac Mini user account with Time Machine. I then created a new iMac User account on the iMac and let the iMac access Time Machine to bring over all my MacMini preferences, settings, desktop, etc. I now have a fully functioning iMac user account.
Here is the problem. I attached the USB external drive directly to my iMAC. I can access some of the folders and files on the external hard drive. Most of them refuse to let me acces the folder or open a file. If I use the GET INFO command I see an "_unknown" user with "read and write". I see an "everyone" with "no access". I can individually change each folder and file to allow my user account access and give myself permission to read and write the files. I cannot delete delete the "_unknown" account.
It will take me days to individually change each folder and file manually like I am now doing.
Is there a way to use Automator to add my user account to the folder or file and give me read and write folder and file permissions?
Or is there any other way to do this in a batch change?
Is there something I need to do to the external files right now that will ensure that I can access them if either computer crashes and I need to replace the MAC? I would hate to have to go through this again. Would having a MAC server instead of an external drive solve this?
I am using MAC OS 10.6.8 with the most recent updates installed (as of today).
Thanks,
Sandi Dickenson

Select the icon of the external drive in the sidebar of a Finder window, and open the Info window. In the "Sharing & Permissions" section of the window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Make sure you have read & write access to the volume by changing the settings if necessary. Then, from the action menu (gear icon), select "Apply to enclosed items."
The "_unknown" user and group are assigned automatically to files on a volume with the "Ignore permissions" option set.

Getting file read/write/execute permissions.

How can I get the read, write, and execute permissions for either a named file, or a File? I'm only interested in the permissions exposed to whatever user is running the VM.
System.getSecurityManager() either returns null or some default SecurityManager that denies everything... I guess you have to set that explicitly, which doesn't really help me here.
I've been browsing through the docs but I can't find anything that returns a FilePermission. It's highly possible that I missed something, though.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for replying.
That was the first thing I looked out. As it turns out, FilePermissions aren't for getting permissions on named files. Rather, they are for dealing out permissions that you set yourself, or representing permissions internally. If you look at the constructor for java.io.FilePermission, you'll see that, in addition to a file name (which, btw, can be anything since the constructor throws no IOException), you must also provide a list of permissions.
So, unfortunately, that class can't take a file name and provide you with a permission list... it's just there for you to use to store permission information.
That frustrates me a lot, because the name, FilePermissions, makes it seem like the most promising class to use for my application.
Thanks, though,
Jason.

Urgent!!! Need help in file read/write data to a serial port

Hi,
I really need someone's help in order for me to complete my project. I have attached a vi which I have taken from an example and integrate to my project. In the vi, I have managed to get the encoder counts using Ni 9411. I need to read/write that data from ni9411 to ni9870 without using any serial port as they are connected to a NI 9104 chasis. May I know whether I am correct in writing the data to my ni9870 port using the vi I have attached? Does anyone know how i can convert the number of counts to a 8-bit data/byte so that I can send the data through the RS232 port? I really need someone's help as I need to finished in 2 weeks time.
I have also attached an vi on controlling the epos2 controller using instrument driver. Does anyone know how can i integrate this vi to the fpga vi (the one which I need to read/write data to 9870) as I need to send those data to control my epos2 controller.
Please help me!!!

Afai,
As I allready suggested you here, call your local NI Office and ask for assistance!
You really need assistence in a higher level that we can provide via the forums. Otherwise I don't see a chance for you to finish your project in time.
1. Convert I32 to U8 to write it to the 9870 could be done like this:
2. The vi to control the epos2.
There is NO way ( absolutely NO way) to port this vi to FPGA. It's based on VISA calls, uses an event-structure, both are not available at the FPGA.
The only thing you could do is to analyze the VI, the instruction set and design an FPGA vi which handles the specific instructions you would need.
I have no experience with epos2 and I'm not 100% sure if this would work as you would like to use it. And doing this needs deep knowledge of LabVIEW, VISA, Instrument Drivers, the epos hardware, FPGA programming, and so on...

DVD read/writer Question

I'm so sorry if this has been asked, but here I go anyways. I got my iBook G4 as a gift a bit over a year ago, therefore I didn't really have any control over certain situations. My CD drive does not allow me to burn [write] DVDs. I know this is because it was bought without that feature. Is there anyway to send my iBook to Apple and have them replace my drive with a DVD read/writer? How expensive would this be? Would it just be cheaper to buy and external one from LaCie? Thank you so much for any info!

No doubt it would be cheaper to add an External like a Lacie or one from any number of manufactures
You can if you choose have a new CD/DVD Drive and burner installed and there are several different vendors that will do this for you or you can do it your self.

File read/write contention?

Hi!
Can a file be written to ... the same time another thread is checking for a change of this same file? (ie: long timeStamp = file.lastModified();)
...without contention.
Thanks!

Brutal Juice!! : ) ....OK you explained that very well. Thank-you!
I just now realized that I don't need to write this data to a file anyway (no need to) ....... In my app I just need to direct incoming data to my jTextArea window (visual storage of this data)for later processing by another thread.
I'll explain,
I read data in from my serial com port (port must be monitored 24/7)
This serial com port data is directed to a jTextArea(so I can see, store and process this data)
Another thread will process this data(stored in the jTextArea), extracting the data(line for line) of interest to me then deleting this data out of the jTextArea forever.
My question now is:
How do I store my newly arriving serial com port data if the other thread is currently processing the stored data in my jTextArea? .... I need to have it stored to an appendable storage buffer some how ..... then to have this data copied into my jTextArea when the other thread is finished with data already in the jTextArea.
My data coming in on the com port is a low duty, single line "call record" after someone ends their telephone conversation.
(can you tell I'm very new to JAVA) : )
Thanks!

Java.nio read/write question

Hello,
I just started to learn the java.nio package so I decided to make a simple Echo server. I made a client which reads a line from the keyboard, sends it to the server and the server returns it. It all works except one little detail. Here's little code from the server:
                             int n = client.read(buffer);
                             if ( n > 0)
                                 buffer.flip();
                                 client.write(buffer);
                                 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
                                 CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                                 charBuffer = decoder.decode(buffer);
                                 System.out.println(charBuffer.toString());
                                 buffer.clear();
                              }So that works, I send the data and then I receive it back. But only for the client. I also wanted the server to print the line which is the reason for the charset and the decoder. The above code however prints only a blank line. Thus I tried this:
                             int n = client.read(buffer);
                             if ( n > 0)
                                 buffer.flip();
                                 Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
                                 CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                                 charBuffer = decoder.decode(buffer);
                                 System.out.println(charBuffer.toString());
                                 client.write(buffer);
                                 buffer.clear();
                              }Or in other words I just moved the write() part downwards. So far so good, now the server was actually printing the lines that the client was sending but nothing was sent back to the client.
The question is how to make both, the send back line and the print line on the server side to work as intended. Also a little explanation why the events described above are happening is going to be more than welcome :)
Thanks in advance!

File Read/Write Help Please!

Hi,
I am trying to get my program to write an object (or just its varibles) to a file and then be able to read them out again and assign them to their title. i.e be able to read String bo, int car, and int[][] cost to a file (doesn't matter what as long as I can save it and then open it at a later date).
I really can not figure it out, but I will include my simple test code.
public class Bob//contains the stuff I want to save
     int car= 10;
     int cost[][]= {{1000,10},{1744,47733}};
     String bo = "Bob";
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ObjectS
     public static void main(String args[])
          new ObjectS();
     public ObjectS()
          Bob abc = new Bob();
          try
          {//This code is most likely crud, so I really need help here.
               FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("theTime");
               ObjectOutputStream s = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
               s.writeObject("Today");
               s.writeObject(abc);
               s.flush();
          catch(FileNotFoundException e){}
          catch(IOException e){}

It has already been pointed out that you need to use 'Serializable' and that you need to do more than just ignore exceptions. SO, to spell it out
public class Bob//contains the stuff I want to saveshould be
public class Bob implements Serializable //contains the stuff I want to save
int car= 10;
int cost[][]= {{1000,10},{1744,47733}};
String bo = "Bob";
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ObjectS
public static void main(String args[])
new ObjectS();
public ObjectS()
Bob abc = new Bob();
try
{//This code is most likely crud, so I really need
help here.
FileOutputStream out = new
FileOutputStream("theTime");
ObjectOutputStream s = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
s.writeObject("Today");
s.writeObject(abc);
s.flush();and this might be better as
s.close();
catch(FileNotFoundException e){}
catch(IOException e){}and these should do more than just ignore the exceptions! Exception are your freinds so as a very minimum you need something like
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();

Help with best solution for file read/write in web app (not local files)

Problem in a nutshell...
I have an AIR app to process images.. organize and add information. This information is read and written to local XML files. This is working fine (if still a be messy... still learning this OOP stuff ;O)
So... now I am developing my Web gallery app to consume these files for a web gallery (unique concept huh? ;O)
Reading them in was easy with the Declaration block....
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XML id="galleryXML" source="gaXML.xml"/>
<fx:XML id="baXML" source="baXML.xml"/>
<fx:XML id="prjXML" source="prjXML.xml"/>
<s:XMLListCollection id="galleryList" source="{galleryXML.item}"/>
<s:XMLListCollection id="baList" source="{baXML.item}"/>
</fx:Declarations>
But I want the owner to have a maintenance mode where information can be added/changed and saved back to the XML file on the server. I have read about all the different services available, but I am not that familiar with them. Also I will have no way of knowing what services the user will have available on their host. So... help me out in understanding what the most universal solution would be to be able to read and write XML files stored on the host along with the application.
I hope that is clear enough, but ask away if any more details will help in the discussion.
Thanks

Hi Jeba,
Whenever u are using *"Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()"* Code inside your application means the Files (Resources) which you are looking right now must be poresent in the CLASSPATH...(Bootstrap classloader/ System ClassLoader/ Application ClassLoader/ Sub Module ClassLoader...).
So when we place a resource (example XML or Properties file) inside the "WEB-INF/classes" directory then it means that file (resource) is available as part of the Module Classloader....So the above code getContextClassloader() will be able to find that resource easily.
Thanks
