Get parent path

How do i get the parent path of my java applicaiton?
I see something called getRealPath() but that's for servlets.

Your Java application doesn't have a "parent path". There's no such thing. The concept is especially nonsensical if the application is in an executable jar file.
When you execute a program (including a Java application), that process has a current working directory. The current working directory may be the one where your Java class is stored, or it may not. If you can't work with paths that are relative to the current working directory, because you haven't controlled it properly, then you'll have to work with full paths.

How do I enable parent paths in Visual Studio 2013?

I am converting a classic ASP site to a Visual Studio 2013 MVC. When I run the ASP code inside of the Visual Studio 2013 debugger I get the following error message. How can I enable parent paths in 2013?
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/prospect/contact/contact_search.asp, line 33
The Include file '../menu_inc/contacts.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I discovered the answer myself. Here is how I did it.
I opened Task Manager and saw that Visual Studio was running processes of IISExpress for the web server functionality.
I clicked on Start and entered IISExpress to find out where it was installed. To my surprise, but an obvious choice, it was located in documents.
I opened the C:\Users\Mike\Documents\IISExpress\config folder then opened Notepad as an administrator. I then opened the applicationhost.config file and under the <system.webServer> element there is an <asp> element. I modified it
to read. <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" enableParentPaths="true">
I then opened by MVC solution and ran the Classic ASP program without any problems. Everything works!

Invalid Parent Path in Archive

Secure Access V2.0 returned an error when I tried to open my vault. After I type in the password I get the error message, "Invalid Parent Path In Archive". When I click 'OK' I get the standard "4 Ways To Protect Your Data" screen as usual when I open a vault. When I click the 'Next" button I get the error, "This vault could not be loaded, it may be located on another computer or the original vault file has been manually removed." After I click OK the main screen opens. It has the vault listed, but if I click on it I get the same error message. Whats going on? How can I access my vault? It is my backup for important documents and archives. No, I haven't moved or deleted the vault. The vault is located on the memory stick.I only work from one computer running Windows 7. This particular Sandisk 32 Extreme is never used with any other computer. I haven't changed the password. Everything was working fine until I just couldn't sign in.

Hello, There are some steps you can try in order to recover the vault files . 1) copy the vault and secure access application from the write protected drive over to the new drive2) run secure access on the new drive3) when it prompts to create a new vault go ahead and create a new vault with the exact same password as the old vault4) encrypt any file in the new vault (this will generate two new system files)5) close secure access6) open the vault folder on the new drive via windows explorer, navigate to the system files folder, you should see several files, among them are two sets of "USB Flash Drive-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.idx and .bak files7) Looking at the date stamps of the files, 2 will be older and 2 will be newer (you can also check on the old write protected drive to confirm the names of the older files, the older files contain the encryption information needed however the file name is associated with the previous drive we will need to rename the old files)8) copy the 2 newer files and paste them into any temporary location outside of the flash drive (i.e.. desktop)8) once you've copied the two new files to a temporary location delete the originals from the system files folder on the flash drive.9) go to the temporary location and copy only the file name from the .idx file (the file name, not the file itself)10) go to the vault / system files and rename the old .idx file with the name you copied from the new .idx file11) repeat the same for the idx.bak file12) now you should have renamed the old .idx and .idx.bak files with the names of the newly generated system files.

How can I get the path name and rename it?

I Hope someone who knows more about automator than I can help me out here. What I'm trying to do is get the path file name, while also changing part of it. Here is my example:
I can get the path name with this "Get Path" script I found http://automatorworld.com/archives/get-path/all-comments/
It does half the job so I just need to tweak it but know how. When I get the path this is what I'll get: /Volumes/Public/Creative Services/Campaigns/2010/NCDDiv-32CDV Upgrade/NCDDIV-32Versions.xls
I need to remove the beginning part"/volumes" to "file://///nhmanmkt01"
This is so I can send the path from our sever where we keep our files to my windows friends so they can open it.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

ok, make the following workflow.
1. get selected finder items.
2. run shell script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;

margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"|sed 's%/Volumes%file://///nhmanmkt01%'
done</pre>
set the script to accept input as arguments
3. copy to clipboard
save it as a finder plugin.

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.

When a file is uploaded, the file name is also submitted. The path of the file is available only to the machine within the Local Machine security zone. The value property returns only the file name to machines outside the Local Machine security zone. See About URL Security Zones for more information on security zones.
i need to know on how to get the compelete path /directory of the filename
using <input type="file"> tag You can't. Its a security thing.
is there any other way to get an input file from a local host aside from <input type="file"> tag?No. Not using just html.
You could always go into activex components, but thats different again.
