How to get full path of a file uploaded using file control on a jsp ?

Hi all...
I have a jsp on which i am using a file element (input type="file") to upload files present on the physical file system.. Thats working fine.. But i want to retrieve the full path of the file uploaded for further computation.
What are the possible ways which can give me the full path ?? (e.g. "D:\data\text\Output.txt" )
Thanks all for attending the question..
Regards
Prasad

Some browsers send the full path. Some do not.
You can not affect this in any way shape or form.
All you can count on receiving is a filename - no path information.
So you will have to have some other way for the user to pass along this information.
If they are uploading to a "remote web site" they could specify a folder to put the uploaded file in.
You could classify it and put all image files in "images" and all script files in "scripts" etc etc by default, and let the user deal with it in their own HTML.
Hope this helps,

How to get full path in file browse item

Hi
I have a file item. When I submit the form and store and value in db, then the file path is stored as numbers and appended to the file name. I undestand that this is because of some wwv flow files index or something . How to get the file path? Anybody...

For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
Changes to IE's security config can enable the path to be exposed in IE8, but I don't think it will be available via <tt>apex_application_files</tt>.

How to get full path using HTP.PRINT(' "input type ="file") ....

Hello everybody,
I am working on uploading file from page to another one using HTP package, but whenever I submit the form, it only takes the filename without the full path.
for example :
if i sent 'c:\dir\a.txt' , the other page receives file parameter as 'a.txt'
the code is here
PROCEDURE upload(appno in varchar2,wsct in varchar2) AS
l_real_name VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
HTP.htmlopen;
HTP.headopen;
HTP.title('Test Upload');
HTP.headclose;
HTP.bodyopen;
HTP.header(1, 'Test Upload');
HTP.print('<form action="https://ssltrng.uaeu.ac.ae/trng/document_api.upload1" method="get">');
HTP.print(' File to upload: <input type="file" name="file" >
HTP.print(' <input type="submit" value="Upload">');
HTP.print('</form>');
HTP.bodyclose;
HTP.htmlclose;
END upload;
the other page see it as
file is 'Water lilies.jpg'
Thanks

Do not understand the problem.
The code you've posted is a PL/SQL web enabled procedure that produces a dynamic HTML page. This page contains a form. And a full URL reference to the CGI that will process the form's data.
This is unusual - as it seems to be that the form is submitted across domains and web servers.. You usually refer to a local CGI procedure to deal with a form - no need for a fully qualified URL that includes web server and domain name.
If the CGI procedure that receives the form is also a PL/SQL web enabled procedure, that the uploaded file will be placed in the documents table (as defined in the DAD alias) by mod_plsql, prior to the web enabled procedure being called. The documents table will contain the Mime type, file name, file contents and other details.

Hi,
You need to get .NET connector and use this in your VB.
h6.
The SAP .NET Connector is a development environment that enables communication between the Microsoft. NET platform and SAP systems. This connector supports RFCs and Web services, and allows you to write different applications such as Web form, Windows form, or console applications in the Microsoft Visual Studio.Net. With the SAP .NET Connector, you can use all common programming languages, such as Visual Basic. NET, C#, or Managed C++.
In short it will make your VB talk to SAP.

How to get full Path using sADMBasic- StandardGetDirectoryDialog on mac

hi,
While implementing a plug-in, I am using sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog to prompt a dialog to select the folder.code is as follow-
SPPlatformFileSpecification outResult = {NULL};
Boolean isDirSelected = sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog("Select folder Location", NULL, &outResult);
In window, I am getting the fullpath in outResult.path. but in Mac ,I am getting 3 things outResult.vRefNum,outResult.parID,outResult.name.
suppose anyone selected the desktop when dialog prompt. The outResult.name contains only the string like"a\ desktop ".And parId contains a integer no.
But I want fullpath like User/Desktop. is there any way to get the fullpath from these variables?
thanks

File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
Stijn

Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

How to get full source file name in Exporter SDK

Hi,
I'm making an Exporter Plug-in using SDK 5.5.
I want to get the path and extension of the source file (when export file) and path of the sequence (when export sequence).
Especially the extension of the source file, which is always be replaced by the output extension.
I can't find it in the SDK guide and sample. Sorry if I'm being a noob.
Thank you.

Sequences are generally made up of multiple clips edited together. It's rare that a user would take a single clip and reexport it. So there isn't usually a one-to-one relationship between source file and exported file. Because of that, PPro provides the sequence name as the default file name.
If you did need to get at the source files, you could do it only under specific circumstances - only when exporting directly from PPro, or when loading a clip directly into AME, but not when exporting a sequence from PPro through AME. You would need to use the Video Segment Suite to parse the timeline segments, as demonstrated in the player sample code in videoSequenceParser->ParseSequence(). This is quite a complicated process and not something worth pursuing unless absolutely necessary.

Zac

How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms

Aslam o Alikum (Hi)
How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms 6i or 9i
For example
i am running a from "abc.fmx" from C:\myfolder directory
can i get the form path 'C:\myfolder' by calling any any function from "abc.fmb"

There is no direct call that will always work. What you need to do is call get_application_property(current_form). This may have the full path in it, depending on if that path was defined when the form was launched. If there is no path, then you need to use TOOL_ENV.GETVAR to read the Forms<nn>PATH and the ORACLEPATH, parse those out into individual directories and then check for the FMX in each.
I already have some code to do all this for you see:
