How to access the file in the WEB-INF Folder

hi..
i want to access a xml file, using servlet, which is placed under WEB-INF folder.
Please tell me how can i access the file.
I am using WSAD to develop the application
Thanx in advance.

I haven't tried accessing an XML file that is placed in WEB-INF folder.
Files under WEB-INF are usually protected from client/browser access, but a Servlet may be able to access it (not sure though).
What problems are you facing when you try to access an XML file in the WEB-INF folder?
If you can't access it from the WEB-INF folder , place it in any folder except the WEB-INF folder.
Also, if you want to protect the XML file then you could password protect it or deny access to it via .htaccess file, or simply return a 403 forbidden header.

  • How to access the Web Service Browser

    Hi,
    I need to access the Web Service Browser to generate a Web Service Description.
    How can I do it?
    I use the follow url:
    http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/WebServiceBrowser/search.html?sap-client=<relevant_client>
    but I can't say how to determine values for the three placeholders.
    Help me please.
    THANKS

    Hi Andrea,
    you can access the web services in sap transaction SICF. Then right click on the
    service and choose "test". The hostname is the host on where the sap system
    runs.
    The port ´number can be seen in transaction SMICM -> shift + F1. Here you can see
    the portnumer assigned to the HTTP protocol.
    And the client is the sap client (standard client) for which the service is configured.
    Hope this helps.
    KR,
    Andreas

  • Help required with downloading files from inside WEB-INF folder

    I am working on a web application and I have an upload script which uploads different files to a foler called 'uploads' . To stop users from accessing the folder content I have put it in the /WEB-INF/.
    In my JSP file, I used to link to the uploaded files like this before for users to download them :
    if(filesListIterator.hasNext()
    files = (FilesBean)filesListIterator.next();
    <tr><td><a target="_new" href="<%=files.getFileName()%>">"<%=files.getFileName()%></a></td></tr>
    }I need to know how to alter the above link to make it access/download files from the /WEB-INF/uploads/ while still restricting direct access to the files.
    Thanks

    Anything under WEB-INF is not directly accessible via the browser/ client. You could try defining the JSP/ Servlet inside web.xml deployment descriptor and see if you can access the file from there.
    I think a better way to accomplish this would be to keep the file outside WEB-INF , and use other techniques to protect the folder that contains the file - for example password-protection, or defining a .htaccess file and serving a 403 Forbidden error.

  • Reg accessing the webi reports from visual C#

    Hi,
        I m using visual studio 2005 c#.Can some one throw lights on how to access the webi reports using this environment....
    Thanks & Regards

    Thank you for you reply! So there is no way to access a Crystal Reports Server from an arbitrary application using URLs out of the box? I would have to implement this "automated access" feature inside the server by myself. Is this correct?
    If this is the case, I think I will do the whole report generation without a dedicated Crystal Reports Server. I have compared different alternatives for replacing the old RDC component of the C++ application described above. I think the best way would be to replace it via the JRC API of CR4E 2.0. In this case, I would have to access the Java API via JNI or by calling an external Java program, which generates and exports the reports.
    In both cases (CR Server vs. JRC API) I would have to implement new application logic. But a dedicated Crystal Reports Server needs to be maintained and administered... And I think the Crystal Reports Server would be a bit oversized for my purposes (generating and exporting reports)...
    If somebody has got other suggestions for replacing the RDC component (CR XI R2) inside a C++ application in order to use this application under Linux, I would be thankful .

  • Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Crystal report for Eclipse and also using Struts2 and tiles framework combination.
    The problem is when viewing the report all I've got is red X on all images and the graph image also not showing. This is when I use tiles and my jsp is inside the web-inf folder.
    This is my struts link: href="s:url value='/report/reportOpen.action?report=1'
    I've checked that the path to the viewer generated HTML is not correct. see code below.
    src="../../../crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
    But when I test to access a simple jsp viewer that resides on the web root folder, this works fine but of course this is not what I want to have. I need to have my banner and menus on top of the report page (using tiles)
    This is my jsp link: href="s:url value='/ReportViewer.jsp?report=1'
    Viewer generated HTML below.
    src="crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
    This might be a common problem and that you can share to me your solution.
    Note: I removed the script tags because I can't submit this entry.
    Thank you  in advance,

    Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

    Hi Saravana,
    After a few experimentation from your idea i was able to figure out the problem and now it is working.
    I don't have to copy the folder to where my jsp resides but still maintains it in the root location:  web/crystalreportviewers
    The changes should always be in web.xml.
    1st: change the crystal_image_uri value to ../crystalreportviewers
    2nd: change crystal_image_use_relative value to "web"
    Change to "web" instead of webapp because that is what I named my web root folder.
    <context-param>
              <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
              <param-value>../crystalreportviewers</param-value>
         </context-param>
         <context-param>
              <param-name>crystal_image_use_relative</param-name>
              <param-value>web</param-value>
         </context-param>
    Thank you. You showed me the way on how to solve the 3 day problem.
    BTW, my next problem is when clicking on any buttons prev/next/print/export, I got this error HTTP Status 404.
    Well, at least for now I can view my initial report.  I just need to figure out the next issue and with the help of the great people here in the forum.
    Thanks a lot.

  • When is it mandatory to create a taskflow under WEB-INF folder?

    Hi,
    Today, I accidentally created a taskflow with a folder structure which is not under WEB-INF. To my surprise it is working. :)
    1) Is it safe practice to create a taskflow not under WEB-INF folder?
    2) When is it mandatory to create a taskflow under WEB-INF folder?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Placing the taskflow in a) inside WEB-INF or b) outside WEB-INF folder will work as expected.
    But when a taskflow is placed inside the WEB-INF folder, it is secure.
    The blog post by Andrejus Baranovskis (http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2011/02/beware-of-hackers-keep-adf-task-flows.html) suggested by Vinod has the detailed information regarding this.
    Thanks,

  • Web Dynpro ABAP: How to access the content of a mime object?

    Hi everyone,
    does anybody know how to access the content of a mime object of a Web Dynpro component? I added a XML file as mime object to a web dynpro component. Now I want to read the content of this xml file within a method of the component controller. The code would look something like:
    DATA: xml_content type xstring.
    xml_content = read_mime_object("test_123.xml").
    Any ideas?
    Regards,

    Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

    Two options:
    1) Use SYSTEM "http://localhost:7001/sample/test.dtd"
    2) Or use XML registry in WLS6.0

  • How to load/save a file in the WEB-INF?

    how can i load and save files in the WEB-INF directory using servlet?

    This doesn't save files. And in order to reuseability and maintainability, I'd rather use java.io and passing the path/filename around in File object.
    You can retrieve the absolute path for "/WEB-INF" byString absoluteWebInfPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF");Then you can use that to read/write files.
    File file = new File(absoluteWebInfPath, "filename.ext");
    InputStream input = FileUtil.read(file);
    FileUtil.write(file, input);and so on.
