How to do File IO in a servlet

          Please copy replies to my email address if you don't mind.... :-)
          I'm trying to read and write files from my servlet, but I keep getting exceptions. Do I have to set some permissions somewhere?
          Thanks,

What exceptions are you getting? If you are getting "access" exceptions,
          then it could be a security setting. Otherwise, it is probable that there
          is a problem in the servlet itself.
          WebLogic by default does not have any real restrictions in its security
          policy for your servlets or EJBs. Is it possible that you have changed your
          policy file or that you are not starting the server as suggested in the
          startWebLogic.cmd/.sh file?

  • How to display RTF File in Browser Using Servlets/JSPs

    Hi All,
    I have some RTF Files, which contains some data.
    The data needs to be displayed in the frame of jsp page .
    How i can display the RTF File Content using either servlets/jsps
    Can any body have idea on this.
    Help me out on this.
    With Regards
    Hari

    If you only need to display it, consider your HttpServletRequest just as byte stream. :) Just read from ServletInputStream and write it back into ServletOutputStream of HttpServletResponse.
    If you want to process incoming XML, please give some details first, what exactly you want to do. :)

  • Uploading a file to server using servlet (Without using Jakarta Commons)

    Hi,
    I was trying to upload a file to server using servlet, but i need to do that without the help of anyother API packages like Jakarta Commons Upload. If any class for retrieval is necessary, how can i write my own code to upload from client machine?.
    From
    Velu

    <p>Why put such a restriction on the solution? Whats wrong about using that library?
    The uploading bit is easy - you put a <input type="file"> component on the form, and set it to be method="post" and enctype="multipart/form-data"
    Reading the input stream at the other end - thats harder - which is why they wrote a library for it. </p>
    why i gave the restriction is that, i have a question that <code>'can't we implement the same upload'</code>
    I was with the view that the same can be implemented by our own code right?

  • Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI)

    Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI) on Windows 2000
    We had problems making it initially work on Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 Service Pack 1 because of lack of good iPlanet Web
    Server documentation on deploying such files.
    This is how we went about it:
    1) Make one of the servlet and JSP (must call another Java Class) web application (.war) examples work with iPlanet Web
    Server.
    C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.war
    and
    C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
    a) Go to your Web Server Administration to deploy the application using GUI Web Application Deploy.
    (We usually use command line, we experienced some issues with the GUI version, but maybe it is fixed in the new Web Server
    service packs)
    From browser, open http://yourserver:8888/
    Click on Select a Server:Manage
    Click on Virtual Server Class
    Click on https-yourserver
    Click on the Web Applications Tab
    Then, click on Deploy Web Application
    Enter the following -
    WAR File On: Local
    WAR File Path: C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
    Application URI: /jakarta
    Installation Directory: c:\iPlanet\examples\jakarta-examples
    By clicking on OK it deployed the application.
    I can verify that it is deployed by selecting "Edit Web Applications" and I see the following entry:
    Edit     /jakarta     c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples
    Also, c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples should have the similar following directory structure ..
    - [images]
    - [jsp]
    - index.html
    - [servlets]
    - [META-INF]
    - [WEB-INF]
    - [classes]
    - [tlds]
    - web.xml
    - index.html
    I restarted the server and accessed it using the following URL from my IE browser:
    http://yourserver/jakarta/index.html
    Then I clicked on the JSP Examples and tried some JSP examples.
    b) Alternatively, you can also deploy the same example from the command-line.
    Make sure C:\iPlanet\Servers\bin\https\httpadmin\bin\ is in your path
    wdeploy deploy      -u /jakarta
              -i yourserver
              -v https-yourserver
              -d c:\iplanet\examples\jakarta-examples
              C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
    Restart the web server (I don't think you have to restart, but .. might as well).
    2)Deploy your web-application
    My Foo.war has the following structure.
    You can use jar tf Foo.war to look at the file contents from command line (assuming you have JDK installed and the bin is
    in your PATH)
    Foo.war
    - [META-INF]
    - [WEB-INF]
    - web.xml
    - [classes]
    - Bar.class
    - MoServlet.class
    - [lib]
    - ThirdParty.jar
    - [natlib]
    - extlib.dll
    - foo.jsp
    Here is our application scenario:
    foo.jsp uses a class call Bar (it is not in any package). The Bar java class uses classes from ThirdParty.jar. The
    ThirdParty.jar in turn uses JNI to load library extlib.dll. foo.jsp also calls /servlet/Mo as well.
    Now to deploy it, do the following:
    (a) Make sure that within foo.jsp, you import the Bar class ( I don't know why you have to do it, but if you don't you get
    JSP compile error).
    <%@page language="java" import="Bar" contentType="text/html"%>
    (b) Check web.xml (for Servlets)
    Within web.xml, make sure you have the following mappings:
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
    <servlet-class> MoServlet </servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
    <url-pattern> /servlet/Mo </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    (c) Deploy the application
    Using command line:
    wdeploy deploy      -u /foo
              -i yourserver
              -v https-yourserver
              -d c:\iplanet\examples\foo-dir
              Foo.war
    (d) Change web-apps.xml file (for picking up ThirdParty.jar)
    It is located in
    C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
    You should see something similar to following after successful deployment.
    <web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true"/>
    Change it to look like following to pick up the ThirdParty.jar
    <web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true">
    <class-loader reload-interval="300"
              classpath="C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/WEB-INF/lib/ThirdParty.jar"
              delegate="false"/>
    </web-app>
    (e) Change jvm12.conf file (for JNI)
    It is located in
    C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
    Add or uncomment the following lines:
    #optional - just helps with instrumenting the jsp and servlet code
    jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
    jvm.enableDebug=1
    nes.jsp.enabledebug=1
    jvm.trace=7
    jvm.verboseMode=1
    #required for JNI
    java.compiler=NONE
    jvm.classpath=.;C:\JDK1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;
    jvm.option=-Xrs
    jvm.option=-Xnoagent
    # not sure if this is needed for iPlanet web server
    jvm.option=-Djava.library.path=C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib/ -Djava.compiler=NONE
    (f) Change magnus.conf file (for JNI)
    We HAD to change this file in order for ThirdParty.jar file to pick up the native C++ code using JNI. Apparently, the
    iPlanet Web Server doesn't pick the Environment Variable Path. Because when we had the directory containing the DLL just
    in Path, it didn't work.
    Change Extrapath directive:
    ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
    to
    ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
    (g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
    You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.
    http://yourserver/foo/foo.jsp

  • How to open file in their native application

    How to open file in their native application form web browser?
    if associated .txt file should open in editplus then from web browser if I try to open .txt file it should open in editplus rather then open in notepad(default), If on other computer if I associate .txt file should open in word, it should open in word. I am using Tomcat Web Server.

    that's nothing you could influence from a servlet or jsp.
    all you could do is specifying the content type of your response.
    Next you might hope that the client requesting your content uses a browser that relates the given content type to a special application (e.g. "text/plain" -> editplus or notepad or kedit or word or ...)

  • How to forward an applet page to servlet/jsp?

    I have an applet in imageMap.jsp file. This applet displays a map. When user enters the page of imageMap.jsp, they will see the map . If user clicks a point of the map, the latitude and longitude of that point should be sent to Search.java servlet and search results should replace the current page.
    My Search.java servlet works well.
    I think I should add mouse event in the applet. I can use MouseEvent.getX() and MouseEvent.getY() in the applet to get latitude and longitude. But I do not know how to go from this applet to servlet. How can I forward applet page to servlet?

    The <jsp:plugin> action is used in pages to generate client specific HTML tags involving download and execution of the applet that is specified in the tag.

  • ADF: how to download files?

    good day,
    does anyone know what the best way is to download a file to the client side using ADF? is this a trivial thing to do? i can find docs online on how to upload files using ADF but nothing for downloading files using ADF.
    initially, my thought was to use the FacesContext ResponseStream; but quickly realized that facesContext.getResponseStream returns a null with in my backend bean. so, i decided to bypass ADF and use HttpServletResponse's ServletOutputStream and simply write to this object. this works fine but ran into another problem, this comletely bypasses the ADF framework. after downloading the file ADF does not know what state it is in (i.e. my pages do not get updated). nothing gets updated via ADF.
    a second approach was to to kick off writing the Servlet OutputStream in a separate thread and have the backend bean return first. well... ran into another problem: java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream() has already been called!. obviously, i do not understand how the response mechanism works for servlets :-( it appears that per request the ouputstream can be only written to/flushed once.
    so if anyone has a way to correctly download a file using ADF please share.
    thank you

    Lius,
    thank you for the link. i read through it.
    for a existing file on the server a redirect works. but what if i do not have a physical file on the server and i simply want to write it from memory to the client side. i would like to write an outputstream object from the server directly to the user's browser.
    from the backend bean i do the following:
    ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
    ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = getOutputStream();
    // Reading the bytes through buffered input stream and writing the
    // presentation to the servlet output stream in the form of bytes
    // using
    // buffered output stream\
    while (-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read(buff, 0, buff.length))) {
    bos.write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
    // Flushing the buffers of Http Response. this is bad for ADF.
    response.flushBuffer();
    and once i flush the buffer here it returns to the client and the user can than download the file but it completely bypasses the ADF framework and i am unable to make any ADF callbacks (i.e. send messages or use adf progress bar) :-(
    is there a way to download a file to an ouputstream without having it on the server side as a file.
    thanks for you help,

  • How do you launch browser from a servlet

    I have an interesting issue here. I send data to a servlet and the servlet recieves and processes the data (confirmed through breakpoints) but I want to display the data in a JSP or directly thru the servlet using html tags.
    However I can forward or redirect the data from the servlet to my jsp code but this still doesn't launch a browser.
    A little more detail... I am not sending information from a JSP to the servlet. The servlet is listening on a port for input, so the servlet is being invoked directly when the data comes in. In the current state my servlet sends the results in a session object to a JSP which gets the results but can't display them since it doesn't launch browser.
    Does anybody know how to display my calculated results from the servlet in a browser?

    Ok let me try to be more specific. I have an application that sends data to the servlet over a socket connection. The servlet gets this data and multiplies it by a factor.
    When I put break points in, I see that the servlet gets this data.
    Now I am trying to display the data in a browser.
    Upon entry to doGet the servlet checks if the String variable that gets the parameter is not null. If it is not null then it forwards to a JSP.
    But I tried a scenario where I have a browser open that has the localhost address of the servlet and then I run the program which is outside the war file that contains the servlet to send data to the servlet, but when the servlet gets the data, it does the forward to the JSP but the page is not displayed. However I see the process move to the JSP thru the break points I put in.
    I know its kind of a weird scenario but I suspect that since the program calls the servlet and it gets the data, it must need to launch a new browser in order to be able to display the JSP it forwarded to.
    I could be wrong but so far I have exhausted all possible ideas in my head for now so if you understand what I am saying perhaps you can tell me if you know a better way to do this...
    Thanks

  • Dreamweaver cs4 or mx2004 may built .war or .jar files for deployment in a jsp server (Tomcat) ? If no, and use Dreamweaver  how do these files ?

    Dreamweaver cs4 or mx2004 may built .war or .jar files for deployment in a jsp server (Tomcat) ? If no, and use Dreamweaver  how do these files ?

    if I use Eclipse IDE for compilation[make *.war & *.jar files from *.java like claimBeans.java], I must use also Eclipse for upload/deploy ? Or for upload ONLY I may use and dreamweaver ? The jsp section of dreamweaver, is for app not require compilation, like from Code from:JSP STANDARD TAG LIBRARY , only ?
    Basically whatever I may do with "JavaBeans", "Servlets" etc (*.java files) needed to get compiled, I may also do it with JSP STANDARD TAG LIBRARY etc NOT NEEDED Compilation, so if I do not understand how to compile&deploy *.war & *.jar files , I may use instead the latter way ?

    Hi Vijayakumar,
    Thanks for your reply !! You mean to say I got to use XSLT mapping and also .htm and .html extension together to produce the html file ?? or it is sufficient to use any one of them to produce the html file ??
