Seeing your other posts it looks like you have no clue. The server and client communicate
through http and are 2 different machines (unless you are debugging). You cannot use java.io.File
in an applet because it runs on the client and you want to list files on the server.
You cannot use <input type=file to list files on the server because it lists files on the client.
As suggested before you can use java.io.File on the SERVLET/JSP to generate html code listing the
files that the client wants to see, or use a database listing location of a file and user rights to it.
And please do not post the same queston so many times, if you don't understand something place a response
to an existing thread.

  • JFileChooser Multi file selection problem

    I am using jdk 1.4.2 .
    I tried enabling multiple file selection using JFileChooser but am not able to do so..
    following is the code extract..
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(RTLogger.this);
    if(returnVal == CougarFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
    chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
    if(chooser.isMultiSelectionEnabled())
         System.out.println("multi enabled");//message is displayed
    File [ ] files = chooser.getSelectedFiles();
    System.out.println("the file length is " + files .length);
    //length is zero and not able to select multiple files
    }

    You have to set the option to allow multiple selections before you call showOpenDialog.

  • Displaying the path of the file selected by a FileChooser in a TextField

    I'm just getting started with Swing. I developed a simple dialog box that has two text fields and two buttons. The objective is to open two files using those two buttons. I used FileChooser to select the files. Now, I want to display the path of the selected files in their corresponding TextFields. I use the following code to do that.
    final FileChooser fc1 = new FileChooser();
    final FileChooser fc2 = new FileChooser();
    final TextField tf1 = new TextField();
    final TextField tf2 = new TextField();
    private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal1 = fc1.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal1 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file1 = fc1.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName1 = file1.getName();               
                    String filePath1 = file1.getPath();
                    tf1.setText(filePath1);
    private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal2 = fc2.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal2 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file2 = fc2.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName2 = file2.getName();               
                    String filePath2 = file2.getPath();
                    tf2.setText(filePath2);
    }The above code works fine only for the first file. Mean the path of the file selected using fc1 is getting displayed in the tf1 TextField. But, the file selected using fc2 is not getting displayed tf2 TextField. Please help me.
    Thank you :)

  • Close excel programmatically after user cancels file selection

    Greetings all. I apologize but I incorrectly posted this question on the wrong board originally so am posting it again here. I have a VI that I wrote with some help from this site that reads in as many user selected Flat Data Files as desired into Excel. The VI opens Excel, places each Flat Data File on one row and ends, allowing the user to manipulate the Excel data as desired. I have tested it without problems with up to 100 files at a time. The VI minimizes Excel at startup so that it will not block the Select File(s) dialogue. MY problem is this: If the user cancels the file selection, it returns an error and leaves Excel open. I understand how to handle the error, but have been unable to make Excel close automatically if the action is canceled. I have tried to invoke the Close without saving node with no luck... probably because I don't understand how to apply it. Ideally, I want to take the error number to a case statement, and if it is anything other than zero (0), meaning no error, I want Excel to close down. This will eventually be an executable so I need to make this right. Can anybody help? I have attached a zip file with the VI's and some sample Flat Data Files.
    Thanks

    If you want anything to run after an error you must clear the error status boolean from the error cluster. To do this use the bundle by name and set the status value to FALSE, take this output cluster into the function you wish to run.

  • How can I load the selected XML File (Selected from a Listview) into the correct Textboxes?

    Right, so I have a windowsform with lots of Textboxes, where the user can type in Information, and then hit "Save", once its saved it goes into a sortof XML Format 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!--Database-->
    <Case>
      <Person>l<Driver></Driver><License-Holder></License-Holder><Address></Address><Phone></Phone><Date-of-Birth></Date-of-Birth><Registration></Registration>
    Like that.
    Now, on my Startup Form (The main form) there is a Listview that I gave the name Objectlist1. This list displays ANY file located in a specific folder on my computer. This is also where the Saved files appear.
    The list also updates every 5th second so after you save it appears quickly.
    Now, the Files are saved using the content or Value of the first Textbox:
    Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Firsttextbox.Text, settings)
    So it appears in the folder and on the list with the value inserted in the first Textbox.
    My problem comes when I want to load this back (Or reverse the function if you will)
    Where I can go to the Objectlist1/Listview, either doubleclick a file or Mark a file, and hit my button "Retrieve"
    I want the Form where you could input all the values to show - which it does
    And the information from the XML/File saved to appear where it once was typed or inserted.
    Here is an example of the code used to save the values from the Textboxes;
    Private Sub Savebutton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Savebutton.Click
            If IO.File.Exists(Pholderbox.Text) = False Then
                Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
                settings.Indent = True
                Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Pholderbox.Text, settings)
                With XmlWrt
                    ' Write the Xml declaration.
                    .WriteStartDocument()
                    ' CLIENT
                    ' Write a comment.
                    .WriteComment("Database")
                    ' Write the root element.
                    .WriteStartElement("Case")
                    ' Start our first person.
                    .WriteStartElement("Person")
                    .WriteString(Textbox1.Text)
                    ' The person nodes.
                    .WriteStartElement("Driver")
                    .WriteString(Textbox2.Text)
                    .WriteEndElement()
    I've tried multiple codesamples but they all give either "XML Not found" or such Overloads.
    This is the current code I used when trying to make it work
    Private Function ReadSettingsXML(ByVal path As String) As MySettings # On Debug It marks here and tells me it wasn't found.
            Dim thisSettingsInfo As New MySettings
            If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString) Then
                Dim settingsInfo = XElement.Load(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
                If settingsInfo IsNot Nothing Then
                    For Each mainGroup As XElement In settingsInfo.Elements
                        If mainGroup.Name = "<Database>" AndAlso mainGroup.HasElements Then
                            For Each subGroup As XElement In mainGroup.Elements
                                If subGroup.Name = "<Person>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox1 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Driver>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox2 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Address>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox3 = subGroup.Value
                                End If
                            Next
                        End If
                    Next
                Else
                    thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
                    Throw New Exception("The settings XML file is corrupt and cannot be read.")
                End If
            Else
                thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
                Throw New Exception("The settings XML file could not be located.")
            End If
            Return thisSettingsInfo
        End Function
        Private Sub LoadXML_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadXML.Click
            Dim settings As New MySettings
            settings = ReadSettingsXML(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
            If settings IsNot Nothing Then
                Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
                With settings
                    Caseworker.Textbox1.Text = .Person
                    Caseworker.Textbox2.Text = .Driver
                    Caseworker.Textbox3.Text = .Address
                End With
            End If
        End Sub
    Also, the "Caseworker" is the form where all the textboxes are located.
    Been stuck on this for two working days, so any help is highly appreciated 
    Codesamples are also highly welcome so I can see what the heck you did and find and answer to my problems.

    I found a code that might be close to what I'm looking, but as of this code used here, it looks for a static document that already exist and is located in the code.
    See this one here, checks for the XML file, and since I can't link one program to 1 file, when its gonna have and use 100's of files.
            If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
                While (document.Read())
                    Dim type = document.NodeType
                    'if node type was element
                    If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
                        If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                    End If
                End While
    Am I at least close here, people? 
    Can anyone help with the now critical issue I got?
    I basically need to change these two;
     If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
    To whatever value, so they read from the file SELECTED in my Listview
    Cos the program saves files according to the info inserted in textboxes, so it can have whatever name you can think of, I need the program to "find and load" that file, once its selected, and then once I hit Retrieve or LOAD or whatever button, it
    injects the info from the File to the correct Textboxes.
    And I think this will work to get the info in the right boxes;
     If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
    Any good advise? I'm stranded here.

  • File sharing problems and horror story (nearly)

    I use Leopard on a MacBook Pro, a MacBook and a iMac G4 800 MHz (unsupported model).
    I have on the iMac and the MacBook Pro many users (the same ont he two machines) and I always use Fast User Switching.
    I have had very few problems with Leopard until now; I like it even if there are some glitches or some new features which are not my cup of tea (hierarchical menus missing from the dock, stacks useless when there are many items, FireWall impossibilities (?) to open specific ports, Back to my Mac working on a Lan but not from outside until now, problems with a few apps (Parallels networking erratic), ...
    Now about File Sharing.
    Let say my main account is user1 (Administrator), and I have another user2 also administrator, plus user3, user4 standard users.
    On the iMac I activate File Sharing.
    On the MacBookPro, as user1, if I connect to the iMac Server (using afp://IPaddress_of_theiMac/) I do NOT get the dialog
    "Enter your user name and password to access file server YYY
    Connect to server as Guest or as Registered User"
    but I directly get the dialog
    "Select the volumes you want to mount on YYY"
    From this, if I select user1 it mounts with full read/write permissions which is normal. It appears that I am connected with my Apple account user1&mac.com (same as mentionned in the Account panel of System Preferences).
    On the other hand, if I try to connect to the user2 account, I only get limited access although in the File Sharing Preferences, user1/iMac is mentionned with full Read/Write preferences for the Home Folder of user2.
    What is very surprising is that if I log on the MacBook Pro as user2, or user 3 or user4, then connect to the iMac, I first get the dialog to enter a user name and a password. This gives me access with the correct full permissions on user1/iMac or user2/iMac using the corresponding user name/password pair; this is the usual behaviour which is missing when trying to connect from user1/MacBook Pro.
    Now for the Horror Story!
    Trying to understand what was going on with the permissions of the user2/iMac account, I logged in to the iMac as user1, went to the Users folder and from there had a look on the informations about user2 home folder. In the lower part of the pannel, Sharing & Permissions says "You have no access" (which is normal) and this is followed by a table where users and permissions are listed. It seems user1 has Read and Write access in contradiction with the preceding phrase...
    Anyway, I tried to modify these authorizations for user2 by clicking on the lock of the Information pannel and entering name and password of the administrator. Didn't go farther than that. By mistake, I hit Command-Delete and user2 was GONE from the list AND NOT ONLY from the list in the Information window! Using Fast User Switching and going to user2, nothing left on the Desktop and NO Home anymore.
    In the System Preferences/Accounts panel, user2 was still mentionned.
    In the Users folder, no user2 folder anymore.
    Using once again Fast User Switching, I logged as user2 and got by magic an all new Home. Nothing left in Documents, Library or other user1 folders. Standard settings for icons, dock, etc.
    My first move has been to use a very recent backup to restore everything (Thank you Mike Bombich from Copy Cloner!).
    Once everything was back to normal, I had a look at the Trash from user1 and guess what, the Home folder of user2 was there, complete.
    So now I am left with two questions
    why is it I do not have the same dialogs when connecting from all the accounts although as far as I can see, configurations are the same?
    why is it possible, from an Information pannel to delete the account of another user?
    Thank you all for comments!

  • Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

    Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
    Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
    Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

    Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
    the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

  • PDF 'File Save' problem in Firefox

    Using Firefox browser, when I select a PDF file that opens in a new window [rather than a new tab], save it and close the window, the AcroRD32.exe process is not stopped.  If I then open another PDF file in a similar manner, it can not be saved.  Each time you close a PDF window, you have to go to Task Manager and stop the AcroRD32 process before being abl;e to save a subsequent document.  This does not happen with IE.
    Using Reader 10.1.1 and Firefox 8 on a Windows Vista32 system.

    Same bug i see in Opera browser. PDFs doesn't saves without stopping AcroRd32 process. And save dialogue doesn't appears when clicking links (even if web browsing function deactivated in adobe reader settings)...
    Apart from this File Save problem, there is more strange things while browsing PDF online, like "blinks", hangs, image dissapear, suddenly lags without any reason, browser crashing and more...
    So, because adobe reader prevents to download PDFs, and because it works very buggy with online browsing, especially if website uses adobe flash to show PDFs, the only right solution i found is uninstalling adobe reader. After that File Save problem was gone!

  • [SOLED] Firefox input type = file selects the wrong file

    When I have use a webpage in firefox that has an upload feature, Firefox often selects the wrong file. I can reproduce this problem by simply creating a form with an input tag like this:
    <input type="file" />
    When I enter the file selection screen and open fileA the input box contains fileA, fileB or fileC. It seems kind of random to me. I use KDE 4.5 btw, if that matters.

    It seems to be some kind of kde problem. When I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/* it works fine. I tried deleting the all files in share/config starting with a-m and it still didn't work. Then I deleted every file from n-z and it didn't work so it's probably a combination of files that give these problems. I don't feel like setting up KDE all over again so damn, it's back to Icewm, again...

  • Vision Builder AI import inspection error "Invalid Inspection file selected."

    I am attempting to import an inspection into another and get an error 
    Open Inspection:
    -Invalid inspection file selected
    I have been able to successfully import other inspections in the past but for some unknown reason these two inspections that I am trying to merge are having trouble..
    Thank you
    Pete

    Hi Pete,
    -Is it possible to upload the inspection file for which you are getting this error?
    -Can you explain more on this inspection file? What it does?
    -From where did you get this or you created this file? If so, from what version of VBAI it is created and what version you are using?
    Thanks

  • BDC for file selection

    hi,
    I want to record the file selection using BDC. but the dialog box which is for the file selection is also getting displayed while running the BDC program. is it possible that i pass a file name to it without the file dialog box.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Aparna.

    Hi Raja,
    I think there is some problem with rewarding points. Even if the post is marked as question, the option for rewarding points is not visible. I too did not receive some points because of this.
    I think we should inform this to SDN.
    Thanks

  • Firefox hangs when a file is uploaded using the file selection mechanism.

    A "not responding" condition occurs after about the third selection in the file selection mechanism when I upload or download a file.
    This problem also occurs with Thunderbird when I try to save an attachment and I want to specify a location. I have not noticed this problem on any other application. Window Explorer functions correctly.
    By File selection meachism, I mean the window that appears with the HTML statement <INPUT type="file">.
    This happenen every time when I use this mechanism although not always at the third level, sometimes at the second level, sometimes deeper.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • File selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds

    When I try to open files / select files from within certain applications (e.g. Aperture, Photomatix) the file selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds which becomes irritating because I can't scroll to the actual file that I want very easily .)
    (I notice the problem generally when I am working in photo editing applications. And yes, I do have some 25MB TIFFs in the target folder...)
    I suppose this is because the finder is "loading" a preview of the files.
    Does this happen to everyone (if so, it would be quite a Windows-like irritation untypical of OSX).
    If not, then what could be going wrong here?

    I have answered my own question by a bit more research.
    It seems a lot of people having this trouble for a while. It is down to Logitech software. Specifically the Logitech Control Center.
    See this forum (last entry):
    http://bit.ly/eEomwp
    The simple solution: uninstall Logitech Control Center. The mouse still works without it.

  • Safari file select dialog hangs?

    When attempting to upload a file, the Safari file selection dialog box opens, but I get a beachball as the dialog attempts to display every file on my Mac for some reason. The expected behavior would be for it to start in the last place I uploaded a file, but nothing is selected in the sidebar and it appears to be showing all the files on the system--no directories, but all files of all types.
    I've waited over five minutes and see the list of files growing (the longest I've let it get is >15,000 items) but it never finishes. Also, I'me seeing the "select a file to see its path" notice in the bottom of the dialog. Force quitting Safari is the only solution.

    This started happening to me today.
    I use: Safari Version 5.1.6 (7534.56.5)
    And when I get a dialog box to choose a file for upload using Safari, there is no beach ball, rather there is the circular activity icon just spins and spins. No file listing appears in list view, column view, icon or coverflow view. I cannot select a file in Safari using the popup file select dialog box.
    This is after a softare update yesterday Mac OS X 10.7.4
    Can't use for WordPress, Tumblr, Facebook etc.
    I am able to use Transmit, my ftp client and it has no problem refreshing the file listings.
