How to access the selected file in your desktop

My project involves a Java program running in the background which is used to copy files that I have selected on the desktop or file explorer.
I have a slight problem. Suppose i have a file selected on my desktop or on a a windows folder. Is there anyway that I could determine what that selected file is using Java?

Seems a complex feature, wouldnt be easier if the Java app uses his own file dialog explorer to get the file?

In digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat

in digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat as digital editions too hard to read.@@

On Mac, try looking in:
/Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.

How to access the *.java file corresponding to a TypeElement T?

Here is a problem:
How to access the *.java file corresponding to a TypeElement T from a AnnotationProcessor environment?
Let us say the hook method
public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annos, RoundEnvironment roundEnv)
is invoked with a TypeElement T such that T.getQualifiedname() = "a.b.c.X"
And the problem is how to locate the file that has the *.java source code for a.b.c.X?
That is the file that has the source code for a.b.c.X say "some/path/a/b/c/X.java"?
For simplicity, let us assume that TypeElement T corresponds to a top-level Java class.

That is not something you as the annotation processor author should be asking about. That is something you the person configuring the javac environment should set up via the -d option or its equivalent.
I strongly recommend using a separate output directory hierarchy.That is the way the current implementation is. The annotation processor takes a -Aout= <some directory path> to write generated output relative to a user-specified location (which defaults to the class output location).That is contrary to the design of the annotation processing facility. The intended use is for that information to be configured via options like "javac -d".
Additionally, IMO it is a serious configuration error to put generated files and input files, presumably tracked under version control, in the same directory. Interesting you said that. We are just running some "field trial" with these things and some users want them to be in the same directory of the original *.java files (especially when their source files are spread across many roots) .
Who knows what the user wants?The user does and the user is free to (mis)configure their environment however they like ;-) However, that is the user's option and the user has control of this via the javac command line. The annotation processor is not the proper place to configure this setting; see slide 7 of http://blogs.sun.com/darcy/resource/J1_2006-BOF-0606.pdf for some thoughts on different roles in annotation processing.
presumably tracked under version control, in the same directory.version control is another 'usability issues' that we are trying to get our heads around with this stuff. "To check-in or not?" - that seems to be the question. When presented these facilities without any cue, "the users" were divided -- some wanted them to be checked-in, some did not. The context where these generated files being used -- there exists some rationale to check them in a version control system.The right answer depends on the circumstances, but IMO generally generated files should not be checked in under version control, especially if they are derived from other source files. Checking in generated files of this nature just creates the opportunity for them to get out of date with the originating files.

How to access the local files (Excelsheet) in bsp application

Hi sdn,
I created a bsp application my requirement is if i click the link it should display the excelsheet and if i perform any updations those updations will be modified int that excel sheet so can any one plz help me out in solving this issue.

Hi,
I think you shouldn't try to modifiy local files from a server application for security reasons.
But, let's say you have your reasons.
In your BSP, you have a link that points to an MS Excel file. Clicking this link will open the file in MS Excel and users will be able to modify and register it (and save the file in another path/name...).
Another solution would be: create a table form (like ALV?) from the Excel file and save any modifications of the table form into the Excel file. Maybe HTMLB can supports such approach but I don't know HTMLB. I only use HTML and ABAP.
All I said here is just overview of potential solutions. I'm not sure I exactly understood your need. Perhaps other Experts would have better answer for you.
But I hope this will help you.
Good luck!
Thomas.

Camera attached with USB - How to access the flash file system?

OK...this is maddening for someone that is so used to using a Windows file system that can be enumerated on any device, whether a hard disk or attached USB flash device. All I want to do (at this moment) is see the file system on the flash in my camera so I can delete certain images. None of the Leopard utilities seem to be able to access this as a "device". Perhaps this can be done from the terminal with Unix/Linux commands...not something that I want to do.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

This has more to do with the camera than OS X. Some cameras use communication protocols that do not play well with the Finder. For these cameras, support is built into iPhoto.
It is also built into the included Image Capture utility, which is more flexible than iPhoto in some ways for simple downloads. You can preview and select individual pics, and set the folder where the pictures go.

Almost all Canon and some Kodak cameras refuse to mount in the File System. It’s a characteristic of the brands.
In the case of Canon it is lack of support for USB Mass Storage which almost all other brands do. But as stated it is much better and safer to use a card reader instead of the USB cable. A card reader always shows up on the desktop for drag-and-drop.

How do I share the Photo Library on my desktop with another User. I have Apoerture set up on my wife's user account but cannot figure out how to access the photo library from her desktop.

I just got a new IMac. I transferred all the photos from our old PC to the Aperture Library on my User account. My wife is set up as another User. She can access Aperture from her User account but there are no photos in the Library. How can I share or giver her access to the photos so that she can work with them on Aperture from her User account?

Move the Aperture library to separate disk or disk partition with plenty of space for all your photos. On a separate disk or partition it will be possible to set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then two users can write to the same Aperture library without permission problems.
The procedure is describe here for iPhoto libraries, but this will work for Aperture libraries as well:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
If you want to use a drive for your Aperture library, that has been used with a PC, format it for Mac, before you move the Aperture library there. This can be done with Disk Utility.

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.

Excellent question. I don't see any client-jar in your EAR file structure. So I am assuming you are writing a separate client application which will talk to the ejbs deployed as part of this EAR. You need to do the following:
Write another EAR file with the following structure:
ear:
META-INF/application.xml
util.jar
client.jar
client.jar should have a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and that should contain Class-Path:util.jar and value for Main-Class attribute.
Now deploy this new ear to your application server and execute it using Application Client Container that comes with your app server.
If you don't want to write another EAR file, then bundle th client.jar in your original EAR file.
Points to note are:
you have to repackage util.jar again inside this ear file.
For portability reason, you should use Class-Path manifest entry in client.jar. Refer to http://java.sun.com/j2ee/verified/packaging.html and J2EE platform spec section #8.2.
Hope this helps,
Sahoo

How do a client access the WAR file at loading a URL?

I would like to apprehend that how do a client access the WAR file at loading a URL?
Actually a web containter,for example,servlet container can have the software tool such as iPlanet[tm] Application server to deploying the servlet classes and JSP files by containing the WEB-INF directory.
how could the process of request and reponse be done by employing the WAR file..plz steer me....

clients don't access a war file. that's just a package for the container to deal with.
when the WAR is deployed, the container unpackages the contents and deploys the app. From that point forward clients use the deployed stuff. the unpackaged servlets handle requests from then on.
your question makes little sense to me.

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

How can I access the selected element of a DropDownByIndex-box?

Hi,
I want to create a WebDynpro with two web services. I created the first request with the first web service and the results are displayed in a DropDownByIndex-Box. Now the user should choose one of the results and I would like to use this for the request with my second web service. How can I access the selected Element of a DropDownByIndexBox in the Code?
Thank you!!
Julia

Hi Julia,
when user select one element in drop down it automatically set lead selection of node binded to dropdown.
For example if you bind a dropdown to node myNode with value attribute myAttribute the lead selection of node myNode is set in the position of element choose from user.
So to take this chooised element use this code:
wdContext.currentMyNodeElement.getmyAttribute()
bye

Yes you will need to NAT at some point to go from private to public address space. Here is a basic configuration if you are interested:
interface F8
ip nat inside
interface G0
ip nat outside
ip access-list standard NAT
permit 192.168.11.0 0.0.0.255
ip nat inside source list NAT interface G0 overload
