How to get absolute File Path using JFileChooser?

Hi,
IS there any way by which we can get the absolute file path ? e.g. If I browse thro JFileUser and Selects "a.txt" and say open, it should return me the complete file
path e.g. D:/abc/a.txt.
Present method.fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getName() return the name of the file i.e. a.txt and NOT the complete path.
Pls Help !!

fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath(); will do the trick.

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

How to get the file path from HTML input form in Firefox 3...

In IE7 (and probably all famous browsers, including old Firefox 2), if we submit a file like 'C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\filename' it works properly and gives the full path to the file and the filename.
In Firefox 3, it returns only 'filename', because of their new 'security feature' to truncate the path, as explained in Firefox bug tracking system (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143220)
I have no clue how to overcome this 'new feature' because it causes all upload forms in my webapp to stop working on Firefox 3.
Can anyone help to find a single solution to get the file path both on Firefox 3 and IE7?
Thanks in advance....

As you're posting this in the JSF forum and looking at your [previous topic|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342365], I assume that you're using Tomahawk's t:inputFileUpload. In this case, just use UploadedFile#getInputStream(). You may find this article useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/02/uploading-files-with-jsf.html].
By the way, are you lazy or just dumb? You wasted one week to this! I've posted the aforementioned article one week ago. How did you stuck?

Doubleposted and ignored any previous answer: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342405]. Don't do that. It's rude.
Regarding to your "problem": why do you need the file path?

How to get the file path of selected file using JFileChooser

Hi All,
I am trying to store the file on my FTP server after selecting the file from the user workstation using JFileChooser. But I am not able to write the file on FTP server or on user local machine where application is running. I am new to this FTP server coding. Can anyone help me in this.
This is the code I wrote on button click user will able to select the file:
String filename1;
File file;
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.showOpenDialog(this);
file = fc.getSelectedFile();
filename1 = file.getPath();
txtFilePath.setText(filename1);
Below is the code to write the file on my local machine first:
BufferedWriter outFile = new BufferedWriter( fileName ) );
outFile.write();
outFile.flush( );
outFile.close( );
Any help will be greatly appriciated

There is NOTHING named 'fileName' in any of the code you posted so that code can't possibly compile let alone actually run.
How can anyone help you if you won't post the actual code you are using?Its just a random snippet of other code that is totally irrelevant to this thread if you ask me.

How to get absolute directory path of a resource?

Hi,
I wished to retrieve the absolute directory path of a resource, for example, "demo.test" in the folder of "/document/personal". How to I get the value "/document/personal", is there any IPropertyName i could use?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
first, the accessRID is the RID which was used at creation time, maybe containing links; these are resolved, so you will get the "physical" place where the file is stored by <i>getRID</i>.
Second, to determine the path without the name of the file, there are at least three possibilities without looping (resource, the file, is an instance of IResource):
1.) String path = resource.getParentCollection().getRID().toString();
2.) String path = resource.getRID().toString().substring(0, resource.getRID()().toString().lastIndexOf('/'));
3.) String path = resource.getRID()().toString().substring(0, resource.getRID()().toString().length() - resource.getName().length());
Solution 1 seems to be very intuitive (you ask for the folder path, where the file is in), 2 & 3 are shorter than a loop, but not intuitive and in general dangerous (when using substring, you have to take care of exceptions caused by strange parameters).
Hope it helps

How to get Bursting file to use the same template as selected by user

I have created an XML publisher bursting control file for a standard Oracle report Direct Debit letter.
The user wants to be able to select from a number of different letter templates which is ok except that the bursting control file is fixed to use one template.
How can I get the bursting control file to use the same letter template as selected by the user when running the report ?
I am using XML Publisher 5.6.3 with bursting patch.

Try these following, which come to my mind now as of now.
In the bursting file, you can do the filtering and apply different template..
<xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template1" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='first_template']"></xapi:template>
<xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template2" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='second_template']"></xapi:template>
second option..
you can replace the element from the xml in the bursting control file.
${ELEMENT_NAME}
can be used in the template name i guess..
<xapi:template type="rtf" locale=""
location="xdo://AR.${SHORT_NAME}.en.US/?getSource=true" translation="" filter="">
</xapi:template>
But in this short name has to be in XML file...
I haven;t tried it...wil try it wheni get time..

Does it compile? Does it do what you want when you run it?
If you have a problem, say what that problem is (cut and paste any
compiler error message).
One small point is that you could actually print the stack trace as this
will be much more informative if you have a problem.catch (IOException exception)
exception.printStackTrace();
}

GETTING ABSOLUTE FILE PATH IN FLEX

Hi,
I am Facing 2 issues in Flex..
1) I am not able to import
flash.fileSystem
in my MXML Application
2) Is it possible to get path of file using fileReference. I
want the path of the selected file
Can someone please help !!!

There is no way the Flash Player will open a local file for
you. Keep in mind that the Flash Player was designed and developed
for web application - those apps which are served remotely with the
intention of keeping the data on a server. If you wanted to upload
your image onto a server, that's fine.
If you want to store files locally, please look into Adobe
Apollo. You'll still get to use Flex and Flex Builder. The result
will be a desktop application with an easy-to-use, operating system
independent, way to read and write local files.

How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

In the FileChooserDemo example :
In the statement : log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
�file.getName()� returns the �file name�.
My question is : How to get the full path instead of just the file name,
e.g. C:/xdirectory/ydirectory/abc.gif instead of just abc.gif
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
public class FileChooserDemo extends JFrame {
static private final String newline = "\n";
public FileChooserDemo() {
super("FileChooserDemo");
//Create the log first, because the action listeners
//need to refer to it.
final JTextArea log = new JTextArea(5,20);
log.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));
log.setEditable(false);
JScrollPane logScrollPane = new JScrollPane(log);
//Create a file chooser
final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
//Create the open button
ImageIcon openIcon = new ImageIcon("images/open.gif");
JButton openButton = new JButton("Open a File...", openIcon);
openButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//this is where a real application would open the file.
log.append("Opening: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
} else {
log.append("Open command cancelled by user." + newline);
//Create the save button
ImageIcon saveIcon = new ImageIcon("images/save.gif");
JButton saveButton = new JButton("Save a File...", saveIcon);
saveButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int returnVal = fc.showSaveDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//this is where a real application would save the file.
log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
} else {
log.append("Save command cancelled by user." + newline);
//For layout purposes, put the buttons in a separate panel
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(openButton);
buttonPanel.add(saveButton);
//Explicitly set the focus sequence.
openButton.setNextFocusableComponent(saveButton);
saveButton.setNextFocusableComponent(openButton);
//Add the buttons and the log to the frame
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
contentPane.add(logScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new FileChooserDemo();
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

simply use file.getPath()
That should do it!Thank you !
It takes care of the problem !!
