Get full path in an inputFile

Hi! I´ve inserted an inputFile component in a JSF Page. In the backing bean, I need to get the full path of the selected file in that inputFile, but I´m only able to get the fileName casting the inputFile to an UploadedFile. How can I get the full path?
Thank you so much

Hi Frank,
when I tried to upload an image file into OrdImageDomain with
myImage.setContentSource(new OrdFileSource(myuploadfile.getFileName())) via UploadedFile
I was given error of "file not found" kind of error, but if I hardcode the statement with
myImage.setContentSource(new OrdFileSource("c:/temp/myFileToUpload.jpg")), the upload suceeded.
I found that myuploadfile.getFileName() returns only the file name part, not the full path name. I suspect that is the source of error.
Same question: can I get the full file path name out of an UploadedFile? if not, how to get around it?
or am I doing something wrong? my Jdev is 10.1.3.0.4
Regards,

File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
Stijn

Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

Get full path

I'm sure this one has been asked a million times before, but a search of the forums hasn't proved particularly positive - so, apologies if this is a duplicate post, but...
How on earth does one get the full path of a file??? I mean, starting from the very root directory?
I'm sure there must be some kind of recursive method that loops back through the directories and eventually returns a string with the full path name - but I can't figure it out. I've tried getPath(), getCanonicalPath()... etc etc, but so far with no joy...
P.S. I need the full path as I am writing a servlet to delete files from my server and I need to pass the full path to the delete() method.... Or at least I assume that is the way to do it, and at least, writing in the path name manually works fine. The problem is that since the folders are created dynamically when the files are first uploaded, I have to find a way of retrieving the whole structure... do I not?
A second, and possibly related problem, is that the getCanonicalPath() method returns a directory for the chosen file - but it seems to retun the wrong one! ie, it only returns /bin/file - and the file is definitely not in /bin!

I tried that too - still didn't work. But now I think the problem is more to do with the fact that my files are stored on my server because when I try my method in a static context elsewhere on my computer it seems to work fine. Can't figure out what the problem might be...

Hi Putcho,
You can create some javascript that puts it into a hidden item.
In HTML Form Element Attributes: onChange="$x('P15_X').value=$x('P15_FILE').value;" Then create another process that stores the value of the hidden item in your own table...
I quickly made an example with a normal text item, so you see it copies itself to the other box: http://apex.shellprompt.net/pls/apex/f?p=286:15

How to get full path using HTP.PRINT(' "input type ="file") ....

Hello everybody,
I am working on uploading file from page to another one using HTP package, but whenever I submit the form, it only takes the filename without the full path.
for example :
if i sent 'c:\dir\a.txt' , the other page receives file parameter as 'a.txt'
the code is here
PROCEDURE upload(appno in varchar2,wsct in varchar2) AS
l_real_name VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
HTP.htmlopen;
HTP.headopen;
HTP.title('Test Upload');
HTP.headclose;
HTP.bodyopen;
HTP.header(1, 'Test Upload');
HTP.print('<form action="https://ssltrng.uaeu.ac.ae/trng/document_api.upload1" method="get">');
HTP.print(' File to upload: <input type="file" name="file" >
HTP.print(' <input type="submit" value="Upload">');
HTP.print('</form>');
HTP.bodyclose;
HTP.htmlclose;
END upload;
the other page see it as
file is 'Water lilies.jpg'
Thanks

Do not understand the problem.
The code you've posted is a PL/SQL web enabled procedure that produces a dynamic HTML page. This page contains a form. And a full URL reference to the CGI that will process the form's data.
This is unusual - as it seems to be that the form is submitted across domains and web servers.. You usually refer to a local CGI procedure to deal with a form - no need for a fully qualified URL that includes web server and domain name.
If the CGI procedure that receives the form is also a PL/SQL web enabled procedure, that the uploaded file will be placed in the documents table (as defined in the DAD alias) by mod_plsql, prior to the web enabled procedure being called. The documents table will contain the Mime type, file name, file contents and other details.

Get full path to an NSPathControl selected file

I have a NSPathControl in my app for the user to select a file on his hard disk.
I am trying to use
-(IBAction) clickedPath:(id) sender {
NSString *string=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:[[pathControl clickedPathComponentCell] stringValue]];
NSLog (@"%@", string);
But this outputs only the filename. How can I get the full path to the file?

How to get full path of a file uploaded using file control on a jsp ?

Hi all...
I have a jsp on which i am using a file element (input type="file") to upload files present on the physical file system.. Thats working fine.. But i want to retrieve the full path of the file uploaded for further computation.
What are the possible ways which can give me the full path ?? (e.g. "D:\data\text\Output.txt" )
Thanks all for attending the question..
Regards
Prasad

Some browsers send the full path. Some do not.
You can not affect this in any way shape or form.
All you can count on receiving is a filename - no path information.
So you will have to have some other way for the user to pass along this information.
If they are uploading to a "remote web site" they could specify a folder to put the uploaded file in.
You could classify it and put all image files in "images" and all script files in "scripts" etc etc by default, and let the user deal with it in their own HTML.
Hope this helps,

How to get full Path using sADMBasic- StandardGetDirectoryDialog on mac

hi,
While implementing a plug-in, I am using sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog to prompt a dialog to select the folder.code is as follow-
SPPlatformFileSpecification outResult = {NULL};
Boolean isDirSelected = sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog("Select folder Location", NULL, &outResult);
In window, I am getting the fullpath in outResult.path. but in Mac ,I am getting 3 things outResult.vRefNum,outResult.parID,outResult.name.
suppose anyone selected the desktop when dialog prompt. The outResult.name contains only the string like"a\ desktop ".And parId contains a integer no.
But I want fullpath like User/Desktop. is there any way to get the fullpath from these variables?
thanks

How to get full path in file browse item

Hi
I have a file item. When I submit the form and store and value in db, then the file path is stored as numbers and appended to the file name. I undestand that this is because of some wwv flow files index or something . How to get the file path? Anybody...

For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
Changes to IE's security config can enable the path to be exposed in IE8, but I don't think it will be available via <tt>apex_application_files</tt>.

Get only the filename not the full path of the file.

hi to all..
how can i get only the filename of the file not the full path and to be placed on a textinput.?
example:
when i'browse the file and select sample.txt
"C:\Users\user\Desktop\folders\sample.txt" this will be inputted on the textinput.
however, what i want to have is when i'browse and select a file..
textinput should only contain "sample".
does anyone knows how to do it?

Hi cyrus@adobe,
How are you getting the full path of the file when you browse, I dont think for security reasons the Flash Player will aloow to do so. You can only get the file name not the full path of the file when you browse.
Are you using Flex4..?? I am not sure whether this is possible in Flex4..However if you are getting full path and if you wanted to show only the filename then you can just use theString class split function to acehive this..
var fullPath:String = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\folders\sample.txt";
var splitPath:Array = fullPath.split("\");
textInput.text = splitPath[splitPath.length-1];
Thanks,

How to get the full path of the fmx's directory.

Hi all,
I will ship my project to a customer. So I must install forms runtime at the customer's machine.
I put all of the fmx files of my project into a certain directory at the customer's machine, and I create a desktop shortcut of the forms runtime. In the "start in" field of the shortcut property I put the full path of the directory where I put the fmx files. And in the target field of the shortcut property I put after the ifrun60.exe the name of the fmx file which to call first.
Now , in one of my forms file I want to get the full path of this directory because I must call Ora_Ffi.Load_Library. And the library which I want to load resides on that directory.
So how to get programatically the directory where the fmx files reside.
I know that there is the registry entry FORMS60_PATH, but we plan to ship many projects to that customer; so if I use the FORMS60_PATH variable then there will be an error because there will be many directories. And the customer can launch many of the projects at the same time.
So how to get it.
Thank you very much indeed.

If you are using the d2kwutil library, then you can use the win_api_environment.Get_Working_Directory() function.
If not, I doubt that there is anyway to get it since the get_application_property(current_form) does not return the full path of the form as it used to in prior versions of Oracle forms such as 4.5.

Getting the local full path name of a file from an item File Browser

Hi all,
I would like to get the local full path name, of a file selected from an item 'File browser'.
I see in wwv_flow_files the column 'name', but actually it's a kind of id like 'F1542335/myFile.gif' for example.
What i want is the local path of this file ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\....\myFile.gif").
I hope this is possible??
Anyway, thanks all for reading.
Ludo

Hello, thank you for the answer.
Please understand that I searched before posting, and not ony 15 min.
What i mean is that the value of a File Browser in an Apex applocation is something like 'F1542335/myFile.gif', but what I need is the local path location.
And 'F1542335/' is not the local path location, i can't use it. Or maybe there is a way to convert it in a proper path name, such as "C:\Documents and Settings\....", but I don't think so.
So my question is : how to get the local path name of a file in Apex?
I'll answer if I find some good things.
Thanks
Ludo

How do I get the full path and filename of the current document?

I'm writing a format plug-in. How do I obtain the full path and filename of the current image (document) from within my plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I actually just figured this out. For anyone else who would like to know, check out the propetizer sample code in the photoshop sdk. It makes a "filter" plug-in that just spits out all the properties of the document you could ever want to know about. The function I used to get the full path and filename of the current document is PIGetDocumentName(). I hope this helps someone eventually...
