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.

  • Cannot launch vivado simulator 2015.1: behav/compile.bat' script "Please check that the file has the correct 'read/write/execute' permissions"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run a verilog simulation using the vivado simulator 2015.1 on Windows 7.
    I get the following error when I attempt to launch simulation:    
    ERROR: [USF-XSim-62] 'compile' step failed with error(s) while executing 'D:/projects/axi/axi_test_system/axi_test_system.sim/sim_1/behav/compile.bat' script. Please check that the file has the correct 'read/write/execute' permissions and the Tcl console output for any other possible errors or warnings.
    The tcl console repeats the same message, "Please check that the file has the correct 'read/write/execute' permissions"
    I cannot find any problem with the permissions.  I believe that windows will always execute a .bat file.   Within the same project, I can run elaboration, synthesis and implementation without problems. 
    Any idea why the simulation compile script won't run?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks very much for your detailed reply. These were the right questions based upon what I told you.   
    However, I took the code home last night and ran it on my webpack 2014.2 release.   It still failed, but I got completely different error messages.   These messages correctly pointed me to an undeclared signal in my testbench. Once fixed, the compile worked and the simulator launched. 
    This morning, I fixed the signal name in my 2015.1 setup, and it also compiled and launched correctly. 
    So, the problem wasn't actually related to file permissions.  It seems like the 2015.1 error message may be broken compared to 2014.2.  
    I was running the Vivado GUI, clicking on "Simulate > Run Behavioral Simulation"
    Thanks again for your help. 
    Regards,
    Ed  
      

  • 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.
    -Mujib

    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.

  • 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.

  • How do I give myself read/write access/permissions for my external drive?

    Im a brand new Mac user, so please stay with me.
    I have an external drive and I can't delete, modify, ANYTHING on it. When I go to "Get Info" it says "You can only read" under sharing & permissions. How do I change this?

    When you get info on the external drive, at the very bottom is a box you can check
    "Ignore ownership on this volume"...
    If you check that, then see if you can delete and move things around.
    If that doesn't work then try clicking on the + sign and adding you as an admin so you can Read & Write.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Windows 7 applicatio​n file read/write problems

    I'm building a few programs using labview 2009 on an XP machine. I can build these programs and have them work fine with any windows XP machine. Recently I've gotten a Windows 7 machine. I've installed the labview runtime, and daq mx without any problems. The programs seem to run fine.
    However when I have to read or write to files nothing happens. . For instance with one program I log data and output that to a TDM file with the other I read that data and do something. I get the dialog to save the file but after I hit save no file is made. Likewise if I bring a premade TDM file from another machine I get the open dialog box but no data is imported. No Errors are reported.
    Trouble shooting steps taken: I've tried running with administrator rights, with XP compatability mode, in the windows XP virtual machine. Has anyone run into something like this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good Morning. I'm having an identicalissue, but I wanst able to figure out this solution. In simialr fashion (LV 2009 on Win7 machine), I've typically written my executables to write data files to c: so when I deploy the software, I dont have to account for different names. On Win7, this is no longer possible. Can somebody please point me towards a way to define a path constant so I can write and read from a file in a known location without the use having to select a path? Sorry, Ive been looking all night for the solution, just havent been able to get it worked out.  (I did instal the USI files with the Installer) I appreciat the thoughts.

  • 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();

  • Read / Write Drive Permissions

    Hi,
    I am trying to transfer a few quicktime movie files over to an external and the drive is set up for read only. I am getting a message "This drive cannot be modified" I have been navigating the settings and I would like to find out how to make it so I can write to this drive. In the bottom left of the drive folder there is a pen with an "X" across it.
    I can log in as an admin if I need to, but that has not helped my case. Is there a section where I can change the drive settings from Windows to Mac? This was my problem another time, but I forgot how to find that option to modify

    Flash drives are formatted as "FAT 16" or "FAT 32" both of which can be read and written to by Windows and Macs systems. The downside of FAT 16 and FAT 32 is that the file size is limited to 2gb and 4gb respectively.
    Most modern Windows systems use drives formatted as "NTFS" while Macs use the "Mac OS Extended" file formatting scheme. Your Mac can read and write to an NTFS drive IF you install this (freeware): http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10913782
    Or, as advised above, you can install MacDrive on the Windows system.
    My personal recommendation would be to format the hard drive as NTFS, then install the NTFS-3G driver on your Mac. You will incur no additional cost that way.

  • File read write affect my execution speed..

    Hi friends,
                  I am facing one problem regarding excel tab file.thats i have one instrument its generates the 100 data in one minute which data is needed to log in Excel tab file. 
    In this case i need to display the serial no of each data,so the i am reading the file each time and increament it and store as next serila no.its not given the problem when file size is less.but afterward when file size is increased ,its take much time to read the file.so my execution time is mostly impacted or spoiled..i developed as a queue based produce costumer architecture even i get it ,
    and onething i dont have obtion to use any other file type except excel tab type.
    pls if u have the solution Telll me

  • PJC File read/write security fix!

    Hi,
    While attempting to access the client file system. I was running into checkRead/ checkWrite exceptions.
    Initially, I managed to get around this problem by doing the operation in a separate thread.
    I decided to try something different. I
    expanded f60all.jar and resigned it with
    my own certificate. Now I have no
    restrictions on reading/writing to the file
    system, even from the main thread of execution.
    It appears that jinitiator 1.1.8.10 still
    has problems handling jar's with different
    certificates.
    I thought this might be useful to some people.
    Regards
    Jason

    The steps:
    1) I installed a 1.1.8 JDK from Sun.
    2) I set the JDK_HOME to this jdk.
    3) I used the oracle cert-maker to create
    a new certificate JPELL.
    4) I signed my own jar file (fileupload.jar)
    with this certificate.
    5) I made a copy of the f60all.jar, I then
    extracted it. I removed the META-INF/
    directory and recreated the f60all.jar.
    6) I signed the new f60all.jar with JPELL
    certificate.
    7) I copied new f60all.jar back to server
    and changed the ARCHIVE attribute to
    reference "nca/f60all.jar,nca/fileupload.jar"
    instead of "f60all.jar,nca/fileupload.jar"
    8) I registered JPELL.x509 with jinitiator.
    These are the steps I took. I am using
    forms 6.0.8.11.3 on Solaris 2.8. I am
    running jIntiator 1.1.8.10.
    Cheers
