With SQLJ you can do it.
When you look at:

or
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/advanced.htm
There are samples for reading LONGRAW / BLOB from Database. If you want use it in servlet you have to pass the result to the responce object, set the correct mime-type and set the response.setContentLength( xx). This is for some PlugIns nessessary (pdf).

How to download a file from Oracle UCM using OSB

Hi,
How can I download a file from Oracle UCM and save it on a filesystem using OSB 11.1.1.5.
Thanks

UCM supplies webservice interfaces which let you retrieve the filecontent by soap calls from UCM (http://ucmhost/_dav/cs/idcplg for example). (maybe you should enable some settings on ucm to have this webservice interface getting published).
This services for example has 2 operations getFileByID and getFileByName.
So you can just call these services from within OSB.
After that you need to do some tests if you eitherway need to create a file-transport business-service and call this one from your proxy service or create a messageType proxyservice (binary) which calls this file-transport business service to be able to write fo filesystem.
I think for the OSB book i used a jca file adapter generated in Jdeveloper and used that one to write to filesystem.

How to download a file from a server path?

Is it possible to attach files on the server to a web dynpro response with cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response? All the examples I have seen assume you have the file content as an XSTRING. But how can one just send a file from a known path?
Is it really necessary to first load the file (e.g. a 50Mb TIFF) as an XSTRING before downloading it? If so, how is this done?

Hi Marc,
Try using this FM to convert String to Xstring.
SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING
HR_KR_STRING_TO_XSTRING
and also check this...Error document.getElementById(...) in function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
Might Helps you.
Cheers,
Kris.

How to download a file from a server

Hi,
I have a question with a general design implementation. Hope anyone more skilled than me helps me.
I want to do an application based on an android client and a java server. Local wifi transmission, no 3G.
Basically, the client must connect to the server and request a file to download using a code.
How can I do that?
Things I know:
* I must create a background thread in the client to create a file in the SD card and update a progress bar using a Handler to communicate with the UI thread.
* The server must be multithread and non-blocking.
* The file is a binary file like a mp3 audio. So the server has to:
1. Send information about the file: name and total length.
2. Open the file, read and send bytes while it does not reach the end.
* The client has to:
1. Receive the information about the file and create an empty file.
2. Read bytes and dump them into the empty file. Update progress bar.
3. When all bytes are recieved close the file.
I have knowledge implementing a client and server in C (very awful) but I am beginning with a real client-server application done in java.
Questions:
* How can I download a binary file like an mp3 from a server to a client?
* Where I have to put my server application? I supose that I must create a jar, save it on a folder and execute it at PC start-up, right?
Thanks!
PD: I know this is not an android forum but I only need help with the download process.
Edited by: user13425637 on 06-dic-2010 11:08

Questions:
* How can I download a binary file like an mp3 from a server to a client?There are a ton of examples on the internet on how to download files. If you are having a problem, please post your code.
>
* Where I have to put my server application? I supose that I must create a jar, save it on a folder and execute it at PC start-up, right?Your server application will exist on a server and will run the application. hence the reason for the server. The best best for you is to read some online tutorials on client/server and how it works.

Help Downloading a file from a server using FTP with only URL methods

Hi All
I have written this code and it is not working I dod not know why the download is not working please help is there anything that's missing?
* Download the file

       BufferedInputStream bis = null;
       BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
      // File destDir = null;
       try

           URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
           conn.setDoOutput(true);
     conn.setDoInput(true);
           conn.connect();
       //set the destination directory
       File destDir = new File("U:\\2004\\"+fileName.trim());
        System.out.print("\n\n");
        System.out.print("Destination set to :" +destDir);
        System.out.print("\n\n");
          bis = new BufferedInputStream( conn.getInputStream() );

You probably need to specify the transfer mode. For example:
String url = "ftp://sam:spade@ftphost/myfile.txt;type=a";
// Specify type=i for binary.

How to download a file from server?

Hi everyone,
I need to download a file from my server to client machine. I got a sample code from ur forum and I modified it slightly.
//Snippet of code:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws
     ServletException, IOException{
int bytesRead=0;
     int count=0;
     byte[] b1=new byte[1];
     //OutputStream out=res.getOutputStream();
     res.setContentType("application/html");
     //Create an input stream from file URL.
     String fileURL="http://localhost:8080/webapps/upload/upload.html";
     BufferedInputStream bis=null;
     BufferedOutputStream bos=null;
     boolean download=false;
     res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=upload.html " );
     try{
     URL url=new URL(fileURL);
     URLConnection connection=url.openConnection();
     InputStream in=connection.getInputStream();
     bis=new BufferedInputStream(in);
     FileOutputStream fileout=new FileOutputStream("upload.html");
     bos=new BufferedOutputStream(fileout);
     while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read())){
     try{
     bos.write(bytesRead);
     bos.flush();
     }//end of try forwhile loop
     catch(SocketException e){
     setError(e);
     break;
The code is getting compiled, when I run the appln using the URL,
http://localhost:8080/upload/servlet/DownloadFile
it opens a pop up dialog box, asking whether to "open", "save" or "cancel" buttons. When I try to open a file, I'm getting a blank page.
I'm not getting the contents of the file.
So pls can anyone tel me wht's wrong in the code or do i need to add few more lines in my code?
Also pls let me know, how can I download any files of type .doc, html, .txt, .zip, or any type, without mentioning the file type?
Thanks in advance

Do not use a FileOutputStream (that will save it locally to the server). Call HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream(), which will send it back to the browser. Also remember to call close() on the stream at the end.

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.

How to download a file from database

Hi,
My flex application contains a form that uploads a file into the server. This file is however saved in the database, and not on the disk. Most of the tutorials in the database explains how to download a file by passing the file's url to the "download" function of the fileReference Object. That dsnt work for me as my file is saved in the database.
How do I download this file from the server ?
For example, in php, we would do smthing like this :
$content = $file_to_download['content'];
$size = $file_to_download['content_size'];
$type = $file_to_download['content_type'];
$name = $file_to_download['filename'];
header("Content-type:$type");
header("Content-length:$size");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$name");
header("Content-Description:PHP Generated Data");
echo $content;
When executing this file, it opens up the "download file" dialog box. How do i get the same effect in flex 4 ?

You need the bytes use FileReference.download() and after download you can save
it on disk with FileReference.save(); You also need FP 10 at least I think. Use
the docs they are less error pron than mi memory :).
