HELP! How to save resultset (NOT file) from server databse on local machine

Our JSP web system allows our clients to be able to search data from the server-side database and then after get the resultset, they also should be able to save these data as a text file on their local machine by just a click. Of course, before they click the OK button, they should navigate the files system on their local machines and choose under which directory they want to put the file, and then provide a file name. I could NOT find a way to be able to navigate the local machine's drives.
I know there is a standard Save As dialogue automatically launched by the browser. But my problem is: I don't need such a pumped-up Save As... dialogue which most brower will provide, because our system will have an interface which will provide the same function as the Save As guy. And this is the part that I am currently working on. Our interface will permit the client to browse their file system and then provide a filename, and then click OK to save the file. PLEASE, anybody who can help me. I know there are guys there have answers for my questions:
1. In my JSP program, I save the resultset I get from the database as a string, and then this string should be sent through inputstream and outputstream and be saved as a text file onto the client's local machine. I know there's a lot file download topics but I am dealing with a string instead of a file, is there an inputstream accepting a string(which contains dataresultset) and output it to a file?
2. As I already said, how to make my own Save As... dialogue?
I really need help! I have been bothered by them for a long time. Thanks in advance!

Well, it's hard to interpret exactly what you want to do but I'll take a stab.
I would put the data into comma separated value (CSV) format and then stream it back to the browser using the "application/csv" content format.
By doing this, they can either save it to their hard drive into the directory of their choice, or open it using whatever mapping they have for the CSV mime type. For most Windows machines, this is Excel (if it's loaded).

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put it on Faceboo? I use hotmail and please tell me step by step as I am not a tech guru lol. Thankyou

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

What do you mean by that? Are you trying to display that amount of text and you get an error. Are you trying to read from the server and you get there an error?

Drag and Drop file from a jsp to local machine

Hello All,
We have got a user requirement where, currently we have an attachment section in our JSP, where users are provided with the file download links,
as the user clicks those links the file download pop appears.
But now they ask for a drag and drop functionality, so that the link icon which they see on the JSP, if they drag it to there local machine, the file is downloaded
to the machine. Am not sure if it can be done from a web page. Any ideas if at all this is feasible. Or any direction where i can look through.
Thanks,

But the other way around of dragging file which is on server, to the local machine...even if i have applet.. not sure how will that work.Neither am I. Just check the documentation / forums associated with the UI framework in question. This forum is for JSP/JSTL only. I can only tell how to embed an applet or webstart app in JSP, but nothing more than that.
Any ideas around Activex stuff if any ?Terribly bad idea. It's a MS proprietary technology and it would work in only one certain webbrowser developed by the same company, so you would exclude about 40% of the world wide web population from using the functionality. Just use the standard technologies.

Need to ftp files(BACS) from Server to Users Local Machine-Urgent

Hello,
I am working on a Oracle HRMS Implementation(11i) and have a requirement wher I need to ftp files (BACS File) from a server to Users Local Machine.
Please let me know any scripts or the way forward to achieve the same using a concurrent program.
Thanks a lot!

That requires the users machine for a ftp server installed and to be "visible" to the conc program server, the first one requiring setup and configure for every client and the second one may be a problem if in different segments or security policies. Another approach may be to generate the files on the server in a known location and from the client create a batch script to connect to that server and retrieve the file(s). You may schedule the program to run at certain hours or use a shortcut so the user can run it on demand

Open email attachments
You can receive any kind of file sent to you in email, but you can open an
attachment only if your phone has an application that can open the file type.
To open a single attachment: Tap the attachment name to download the
attachment. If the attachment is a supported file type (MP3, PDF, DOC,
XLS, PPT, GIF, or JPG), it opens automatically.
To open multiple attachments: Tap the list of attachment names to view
the attachments, and tap an attachment name to open the file.
Save attachments;
When you open attachments of certain file types, you can save them to your
phone so you can view them later in one of your phone’s applications.
1. Open the attachment (see Open email attachments).
2. Do one of the following:
• For pictures in JPG, GIF, BMP or PNG format, tap Copy To Photos.
• For other file types, open the application menu and tap Save As. If
the Save As menu item is not available, you cannot save the
attachment.
To open a saved attachment on your phone, open the application that can
display the attachment. The attachment appears in the list of available files.
Tap the file to open it.
You can find this info. on page 74 of the user guide.

How can i download many file from server one times.

Hi,
I want to create the service to download multi-files from web server one time
from browser. It seems no way to do it. My soulition is compressing the files
to zip before download it. The problem is that when the user uncompresses the
files,full path of downloaded files are setted. Look like this:
/usr/tmp/test/file1
/usr/tmp/test/file2
/usr/tmp/test/file3
My question is :
1. Is there any way not to specify the full path of a file when
add the file to zip.
Here is the source
BufferedInputStream bis
= new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream( file ) );
//if not full path . can is works?????
ZipEntry target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath() );
// zos is ZipOutputStream
zos.putNextEntry( target );
int c;
while( ( c = bis.read() ) != EOF ) {
zos.write( (byte)c );
2. Is there any way to get and change the current work directory of my server ?
Please help!!

If i use file.getName(). I will lost the struct of path.
I means that,if i compress the list of files:
/usr/tmp/test1/file1
/usr/tmp/test1/file2
/usr/tmp/test2/file3
can i keep the part of path's strcut. (usr/tmp/../.. etc.)
I tried to do as this:
target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath.substring(1));
an error be reported when uncompressed the zip file.
error message:
warning [zt000002.zip]: extra 28 bytes at beginning or within Zip file (attempting to process anyway)
Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): 0
(attempting to re-compensate)

How to fix message not downloaded from server

Hello everyone,
My name is Joshua Kahley, and I am an IT technician in charge of handeling email related issues in my company. We host our own web and email server and since the I-OS 7 update we have had a problem where many messages cannot be retrieved from our email server. I confirmed with my own phone that this issue did not exist prior to I-OS 7, messages that displayed fine before were no longer be readable on I-OS 7 when i upgraded.
The error message I recieve is "This message has not been downloaded from the server"
I'm not sure if this is a problem that can be solved on the phone itself as I have tried changing numerous settings. Has anything changed with the way I-OS 7 handles IMAP messages that my require us to change settings on our server? No other email provider has this issue as far as I can tell; in addition, all of our customers have the same issue (they all have their email through our servers)
If anyone has any insight into this I would greatly appriciate it.
~Joshua Kahley

No fix, but I found a work-around for a single message that iOS email refuses to download at http://www.bitcraft.com.au/iphone-mail-app-says-this-message-has-not-been-downlo aded-from-server/
that reads:
...here’s a quick fix… Forward the message. Just click Forward and it will ask you “Download rest of message first?”. Say yes and then you will see the old message quoted in the forward. Now if only Apple would make than an option without having to ‘fake’ forward it…
The above worked for me when I encountered "This message has not been downloaded from server” on my iPad 3 running iOS 7.1.1.

How to save mp3 audio file from website?

Is it possible to save an mp3 audio file found on a webpage -- http://..... .mp3 -- to my computer? It's the typical scenario of a black page with just a playback bar, plus a 'go back 30 seconds' button, pause/play button, time counter and volume button. Is it possible for this described situation?
I believe I've also seen pages with similar playback back but also has a dropdown arrow on the right, but I don't remember what was in it.
Thanks!

No, not from AL11.

How to remove Contribute hidden files from server?

How can I use Dreamweaver to remove all files that are created by Contribute? To terminate Contribute and it's checkin/out system and everything Contribute might place on the remote server?
In the site settings and on the local side I have removed all Contribute settings, .LCK files and notes folders that I could find.
Still remains is Contribute's interfering when I use Dreamweaver's FTP function.
How do I eradicate Contribute for ever from this domains server?
Thanks!
Coen

The Firefox/FireFTP is just a workaround and not a solution to the Dreamweaver issue. I've had the same problems in the past with trying to delete directories.
