How to download a file from Web-URL to local HD

Hy,
I am trying to download a picture from a specific URL such as
"http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/66/16/02m.jpg"
to my local HD, but I only have experience in downloading text based files, such as HTML using the BufferedReader method and a URL object to read the text based HTML file and PrintWriter to write the file on my HD. I have a hard time finding a good tutorial on this, so I would be more than happy to get any help from you guys, the cherry on the cake would of course be a code sample for demonstration...
Please!

Use BufferedOutputStream and BufferedInputStream rather than
BufferedReader and BufferedWriter.
Should be the same otherwise.

With SQLJ you can do it.
When you look at:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/basic/basic.htm
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).

Does the javascript file is really a private resource?
Assuming it is a private resource, here are the few things you can do :
1. Don't put it into document root at all.
2. Put it in a location where access is denied e.g.
/mydocs/private/
<If uri =~ '/private'>
PathCheck fn="deny-existense"
</If>
3. Use access control list (acls) to deny access to private resources.
4. Use <If> else around send-file SAF e.g.
<If uri !~ "*.js">
Service fn="send-file"
</If>
5. Use htaccess to deny access to those resources.
So it all depends on what you really want to achieve.

Hi,
For file down load u have to use a UI element as "File download".
u just create context attribute as setdownload_res and file data.
setdownload_res as of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource" then bound it to the ui element "resource".
file data as of type "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDInputStream"
and set calcuclated as true and read only as true.
then in doinit method u just write this code
IWDAttributePointer attr = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("fileData");
IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createResource(attr,null,WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setDownload_res(res);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(""+c);
after this in the getter method u write this code
IWDInputStream stream = null;
try
stream = WDResourceFactory.createInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("<pathof the file to be download>")));
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return stream;

How can automatic save file from apex to user local directory?

how can save pdf file from apex to user local directory on button click?

>
Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "940509".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
how can save pdf file from apex to user local directory on button click?As Tony points out the ability to do so would represent a major security breach. The normal approach is to present the user with a download link that when clicked prompts them with a Save dialog in which they can select a location for the downloaded file.

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.

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 :).

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.
