Getting a file name using java.io.file

Dear List,
I am having problems using java.io package. I am reading a string on a linux tomcat server. I am
trying to parse a windows type filepath (passed by a web-browser-client) and get only the filename. ie. sample.jpg.
fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample.jpg"
java.io.File file = new File(fileName);
onlyFileName = file.getName();
remember this on linux, and on my server onlyFileName contains "c:\\temp\\sample.jpg" and not sample.jpg as I would expect.
can any one tell me what I (yet again) dont understand.? Strangely enough when the server is on windows and I am passing a linux string with the fileseperator as a forward-slash, the code manages to derive the correct filename.
regards
Ben

Post this to the beginners forum - has nothing to do
with native methods.Apologies I thought Java.io would be "native".
sorry,

File size (using java.io.File)

Hello all,
When I want to create an app to be used as file browser, I should like to know the size of a file in a directory. The java.io.File class gives me quite some functionality, but not the functionality to display the file size.
Does anyone know of a default class that has the functionality to display the file size?
When no such class exists, I should need to develop it myself. From the top of my head it should be something like this:
int size = 0;
int aChar = 0;
FileReader reader = new FileReader (theFile);
while (reader.ready() )
aChar = reader.read()
size++;
}The variable size gives me now the number of characters in a file. But this should be done for each file in a particular directory. But does that not ask much CPU performance? Does anyone have an alternative?
Looking forward to your answer
Michel

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem, except that I'm doing a fax system so I can't copy a file while the file is still open. So to check to see if the file is open I have to check the file size in bytes then wait a second and check the file size again. If the file sizes differ then I have to check the next file otherwise I can copy the file. I had a look at the length() method but that will only return the actual length of the file name, not the size of the contents of the file which I need, can anyone please help? Say the file name is 16 ad an a or anything to the file name, if you the call the length() method again it will return 17.

How to get the incoming file name using JMS adapter and SOAP adapter

Hi Everybody,
   In one of my interface i need to get the file name of incoming flat file using JMS adapter at sender side. and then i am using xslt to convert it to IDOC and then posting to SAP IDOC.
my incoming filname are in this form price<DateTimestamp>.txt. when i do the tranformation this incoming file name should be part of one element in the IDOC which i am posting.
EX:
<IDOC
<REF>price<DateTimestamp>.txt</REF>
</IDOC>
Hope it is clear to everybody. I need your suggestion how i can capture this incoming file name and send it as part of IDOC.
Thanks
raj

If they are passing it in message id or correlation id,
you can access it using
<xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS', 'DCJMSMessageID/ DCJMSCorrelationID')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />

Problems getting just the file name using an upload component

Hi everyone, I'm using an upload component on my page and I need to get just the name of the image/file in order to store it in a database, I used the code of the tutorial and It works fine on mozilla but the problem comes when I use Internet Explorer because I get the whole path of the image/file and not just the name of it. I believe the browser is the cause of the problem, I already checked the http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/, but I don't understand how to use anything, and not even the code of the tutorial works eventhough it is specified in comments:
// some browsers return complete path name, some don't
   // make sure we only have the file name
   String justFileName = uploadedFileName.substring
      ( uploadedFileName.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar) + 1 );If anybody could helpme solve this problem I'd appreciate it so much
Regards

Let's walk through the code...
File.separatorChar is the system-dependent default hame-separator charac tor. This field is initialized to contain the first character of the system property file.separator. On UNIX systems, the value of this field is '/'; on Microsoft Windows systems it is '\\'.
String justFileName =
// get the substring of uploadedFileName
// that starts after the last separator (\ or /)
uploadedFileName.substring
uploadedFileName.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar) + 1
You say that this statement is returning the complete path name, for example:
C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documentos\Mis im��genes\Im��genes de
muestra\Puesta de sol.jpgSo, we can make an assumption that the File.separatorChar must not be \, or else the statement would return Puesta de sol.jpg.
We know that it works for you on Solaris/Mozilla.
We also know that Misha has tested the statement in IE and it works for him.
(And I know that this tutorial was tested by a software engineer and a quality engineer, and it worked for both of them, as well as the tutorial author and a peer).
So, what is different here??????
Can you print out File.separatorChar and see if it is '\\' (I think the first \ is an escape char, that is \\ (escape-escape) is the equivalent of \ (backslash)) or '\'?
When you run it on another machine, how are you deploying it on the other machine? Is it deployed to Solaris and running on Windows?
Have you tested to see if it works on a Windows machine using Mozilla?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the problem.

Get File name of the inbound file during mapping

Scenario: to read the file name of the inbound file (which has date required for the mapping) during runtime.
The requirement is to read the date of the inbound file (passed to the XI pipline by the file adapter) and populate the same in the outbound mapping structure.
Any idea about how to do this?
(I went through few options of using java.util.map. not successful yet)

Hi Anand,
I posted the same question a time ago, without any help....
Can I find out the full filename of input file in message mapping?
Posted: Nov 23, 2004 1:00 PM
I have in XI 2.0 the following scenario :
In the inbound fileadapter I read my input file. The filename of the input file is part fixed, part variable (Like INDATA01.txt, INDATA03.txt, etc).
So in my Adapterconfiguration, I specify the filename with a wildcard (INDATA*.txt).
What I now want to do, is in my Message Mapping use the full filename , so I can do something different for every filenumber. Is there a way where I can get the full filename available in my message mapping (I did not find the filename in the XML in the message trace).

Trying to write data to a text file using java.io.File

I am trying to create a text file and write data to it by using java.io.File and . I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0. When I try run the program I get a java.lang.NullPointerException error. Here is the snippet of code that I believe is calling the class that's causing the problem:
String fpath = "/test.html";
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fpath);
PrintStream pout = new PrintStream(out);
Do I need to add additional locations for source files or am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This class contained some other functions i've deleted, but i think it still works.
That enables to create a log (.txt file) that you can fill line by line.
Each line start by the current system date. This class was used in swing application, but could work in a web app.

Currently I am able to get the file name using FM F4_DXFILENAME_4_DYNP but the requirment is like I have to select either folder name or the file name depending on user selection.
Note: Please let me know if there is a single Function module which can get folder name or the file name based on the user selection.i.e, if the user want to select a folder he can select or he can select files in the folder for processing

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

File Name in Java Map

Hello,
I want to add the time stamp in the file name in JAVA map.
Actually we are directly writing the file on to the file system from Java map and also giving its output to other map.
So we need when we write the file on the file system the file name should be ABC_timestamp.
Can anyone help me how to do this in Java Map.
Thanks and Regards
Hemant

Hi,
>>>Actually we are directly writing the file on to the file system from Java map and also giving its output to other map.
are you sure you want to do this?
this is highly inadvisable as mappings do not support restarts and any error handling
further more what if the mapping will crash but the file will be created?
if you restart the mapping you will get a second file?
I'd recomment not doing anything like that - maybe think about your scenario once more ?

Michal Krawczyk

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?
Say I have a filepath=/mnt1/file1
Using some OS API like stat, can I get the Filesystem /mnt ?
Thanks in advance,
-V

Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app

Hi ,
You can use Dynamic Configuration in mapping.
Create a UDF with input as file name and copy/paste this code
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//conf.removeAll();
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//String filename= conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, fileName);
key= null;
return fileName;
Thanks.
