How do I read a remote file ?

Hi,
Suppose the java program on my maching would like to read a file that's located on someone else machine. Do I have to use URLConnection in order to read that file ?
thanks,
Alex

Not necessarily, it depends on how your machine is logically connected to that machine and what servers are running on it.

How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?

Hello,
How do I read a properties file in WEB-INF without hard-coding a path?
I tried:
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream("db.properties"));
driver = properties.getProperty("driver");
but it cannot find the db.properties file.
Thanks for the help.
Frank

Don't use a File to read those properties.
Better to use the servlet context and
getResourceAsStream() method to get the InputStream.
It'll look for any file in the CLASSPATH. If you put
that properties file in the WEB-INF/classes directory
you'll have no problems, even if you deploy with a
WAR file.Completely agree with this approach. Just have to mention the following for completeness
according to the API,
"This method is different from java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader. "
So using this method, the resource can be anywhere under your web context, not just in the classpath.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

How do i read a PDB file on my computer?

How do i read a PDB file on my computer? Ive downloaded a PDB book and id like to view it directly through my laptop. what software would i need? thks
Post relates to: Palm TX

The ebook has been compiled for a specific PalmOS application; without knowing which reader application this file uses, it is impossible to tell whether it can be decompiled and read as a text file. All data files for PalmOS/Garnet have the .pdb file extension.
Other than the eReader desktop, there are no other desktop ebook reader applications for .pdb files that I am aware of.
It is usually best to download ebooks in the format (and there are MANY formats) that is appropriate to your usage.

If you want to use plsql try utl_file supplied package to read the excel file -> http://psoug.org/reference/utl_file.html
And you can use a function like this to understand if the column is number or not ;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION is_number (
char_in VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
n NUMBER;
BEGIN
n := TO_NUMBER(char_in);
RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN FALSE;
END is_number;
DECLARE
x BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
IF is_number('ABC') THEN
dbms_output.put_line('TRUE');

How can I read a binary file?

In my AIR application, I'm trying to read a binary file and then post it via an HTTPService to a remote ColdFusion component that accepts a "binary" type argument. The result of the post is always:
The FILEOBJ argument passed to the addFile function is not of type binary.
Here is how I'm reading the file in Flex, where fileObj is of type File:
var fs : FileStream = new FileStream();
var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray();
fs.open(fileObj, FileMode.READ);
fs.readBytes(bytes, 0, fs.bytesAvailable);
fs.close();
I then pass "bytes" as the parameter to my HTTPService's send call, like so:
var params : Object = {method : "addFile", fileObject : bytes};
service.send(params);
When I debug, bytes contains the correct file size. Is it not in binary form? I've tried several other suggestions, but with the same result, so would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

One more step...
short are U16 integer
double are double precision float
bool seem to be 2 bytes (= U16)
char are string (variable length)
rgb are U16 integer, with high order byte = 0
rect should be 4 x U16 (top, left, bottom, right)

How do I read a RIFF file in LabView?

Hi,
I want to read data and header information from a RIFF file that is generated by a data recorder. It is saved as a .WAV file, but it contains extra information that I need to read. I have a data sheet that describes where I can find the header information and the data in the .WAV file, but I don't know how to extract it.
Please help!
Thanks
/ Patrik

Hi mrsound,
There is a VI 'Read from Binary File.vi' in LabVIEW which can read the file as binary data, if you know the exact position where the header information is, you can use it to extract it, just as the attach VI shows. Hope this helps.
