How the applet can access local file system?

1. I want to plugin the applet into the JSP. That applet should access the local file system. How to enable this programmatically.
2. Is it is possible to embed a frame inside the JSP. If so how?
Thanks in advance..
K G Vinoth

1: If you want the applet to access the client's local file system you'll have to sign the applet. There is a tutorial some where on the java.sun.com that explains how to sign an applet.
2: No you;ll need to use an applet to display swing or awt components on the client browser.

Applet access local file

I have an applet that access local files and directory.
I have create the applet policy file.
When viewing with appletviewer, we can type:
appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=applet.policy MainApplet.html
However, when I want to embed the applet in a html, how can the policy file be included?
Thx a lot.

how can the policy file be included?Applets use the java.policy wich is located in the jre/lib/security
(C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\lib\security)
There is a java.security where you can add or change the java.policy files to be
used
policy.url.1=file:${java.home}/lib/security/java.policy
After changing these files make sure the jre loads again, close all browsers
and open the page.

Can I access local files?

I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer. My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application. No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website. But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer? Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files. Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
Thanks.

AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
AIR applications can access local files.
Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):

Reading files from local hard disk - Access Local Files Only

Hi All,
I have a local flash file published as 'Access Local Files Only', to allow me to read from local filesystem.
What methods or classes can I use to read text and other files from the user's harddisk.
This is the first time I am trying to do something like this, all help is grealy appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi, thanks for the responses
I did some searching and found that the urlloader class is the right one for the job.
'Access Local Files Only' option is provided for this very purpose I believe.
If anyone has done something like this and have some sample code it would be awesome
Cheers

Local file system for archive destination in RAC with ASM

hi Gurus .
I need an info.
I have ASM file system in 2 node RAC.
The client does not want to use flash recovery area.
Can we use the archive destination as local file system rather than ASM.
like /xyzlog1 for archvies coming from node 1 and /xyzlog2 for archive logs coming from node 2.
Imortant thing is these two destinations are anot shared with each nodes.
OS is solaris sparc 10.
version is 10.2.0.2

There is huge space in the storage.
Pls tell me in general ho wdo you do this.
Do we take and one disk from the storage and format it with local file system and share it among the 2 nodes?
If so then that mount point will have same mount point name if we see it from other node... ..ryt
In this scenario if one instance is down then from the same shared mount point which is on the same node(down) can apply archves?Here, Earlier you are using any ASM shared location for ARCHIVES ?
if so you can add a CANDIDATE disk to your existing ARHCIVE disk group(shared).
if not from LUN's after format, I.e. candidates based on that you can create a new DISK group(shared) according to your space requirements. THen you can assign to log_archive_dest_1 for both the nodes to single shared location(disk group)

How to get access to the local file system when running with Web Start

I'm trying to create a JavaFX app that reads and writes image files to the local file system. Unfortunately, when I run it using the JNLP file that NetBeans generates, I get access permission errors when I try to create an Image object from a .png file.
Is there any way to make this work in Netbeans? I assume I need to sign the jar or something? I tried turning "Enable Web Start" on in the application settings, and "self-sign by generated key", but that made it so the app wouldn't launch at all using the JNLP file.

Same as usual as with any other web start app : sign the app or modify the policies of the local JRE. Better sign the app with a temp certificate.
As for the 2nd error (signed app does not launch), I have no idea as I haven't tried using JWS with FX 2.0 yet. Try to activate console and loggin in Java's control panel options (in W7, JWS logs are in c:\users\<userid>\appdata\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log) and see if anything appear here.
Anyway JWS errors are notoriously not easy to figure out and the whole technology in itself is temperamental. Find the tool named JaNeLA on the web it will help you analyze syntax error in your JNLP (though it is not aware of the new syntax introduced for FX 2.0 and may produce lots of errors on those) and head to the JWS forum (Java Web Start & JNLP Andrew Thompson who dwells over there is the author of JaNeLA).

Can an applet loading from a browser read from local file system?

I have to load my applet from a browser, and the "browse" button on it should be able to select and read certain files in the local file system( or the files located under the server's home directory). Is there a way to address the security issue? I know there are ways to enable an appletviewer to do it, but how about a browser?

You'll need to have a signed applet.

How Can I Get A Flash Movie to Access Local Files

I have a customer that has created a Flash movie to run off a CD. The movie is basically a set of menus with links to access local files in the same directory as the movie. i.e. Main folder (to be root of CD) has the movie, a Documents folder with PDFs, a Movie folder with wmv and mov files, etc.
The problem arrises when you click on a link to a file, a web browser is launched, and the browser tries to display the target file. The movie was designed on a Windows system, and, mostly it works in a Windows environment, however, the links totally crap out on a Mac because the URLs are pc centric.
He is a rookie flash programmer so I am trying to help him set up proper links to the files, so that the files will (hopefully) launch the proper local app and not a web browers. i.e. if the link points to a PDF, the Adobe Reader is launched; if the link is to a mov file, then QuickTime is launched....
Is there a way to do this? All the tutorials I have found all seem to expect the flash movie to be running on a web server, and as such do not work when running the movie off a CD.
Any help or suggestions would be grealy appreciated.
A response ASAP would also be greatly appreciated as the customer needs to deliver 200 CDs of the project for a presentation tomorrow morning - I have to create the CDs...
TIA

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
Ray

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Access to local file system for desktop application

As a .NET and VBA developer/user, I have found Flash to be a
great RAD development solution for certain desktop app. projects...
if only actionscript could access the local file system and talk to
local (preferably non-XML) data-sources!
I'm not familiar with the latest version of Flash CS3 &
Actionscript 3.0
Is there any reliable way Flash CS3 can be programmed to access
the user's local file system - that is, as a stand-alone desktop
application????

Thanks for the response.
I hope Adobe catches a clue ... with Microsoft's Windows
Presentation Framework and the new ability of easily implementing
Flash-like animation on .NET apps, Adobe is going to have to get
busy. Stand-alone desktop apps still rule (as opposed to web-based)
in the business world, and they are driven by data. If Flash was
capable of easily talking to local data-sources (Access, Excel,
Text etc.), it could significantly increase its adoption as a
widely used business RAD tool. The Flash IDE is great and rivals
any Microsoft RAD IDE + users love the slick Flash GUIs.

How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

Hi Firends,
How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
Thanks,
Anderson.

Hi Anderson,
if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
(so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
hth,
kind regards,
Peter
