How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?

My logicalhost server domain behaves strangely. I am reading a file from collaboration definiton, that is located in the logicalhost/is/domains/domain1/config folder. I thought, that this folder is used as an application root folder so I can read files like ./file from there. And it worked.
But then I've installed the domain as a Windows service, restarted the PC. When the domain1 gets started, I get exceptions saying that the file can't be found. Then I restart the domain (in domainmgr.bat) and it works again.
I am pretty sure that using the absolute path will solve this issue, so my first question is: How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?
And my second question is: Why does this happen?

The default folder for a Windows Service is the system32 folder contrary to the instance root folder when starting it as a normal process.
That's the why, haven't tried the how, but you should be able to get the value by calling System.getProperty("com.sun.aas.instanceRoot").
Hope this helps
Paul

How to get the pull path name from a file upload window

Hello everyone!
I have encountered the following problem with the following JSP code:
<form method="post" action="filename.jsp">
Upload JAVA program:
<input type=file size=20 name="fname" accept="java">
<input type=submit value="go">
</form>
<%
String s = "";
if (request.getParameter("fname") != null)
s = request.getParameter("fname")
%>
The value of s is alway the filename. However I want to get the full path in addition to the filename, so that I can read the file. Does anyone know how to get the pull name of the file?
thanks a lot in advance,

Dear Sir,
thanks a lot for your reply. Please let me explain what I intended to do: I want to upload a file from the local machine and then read the content of the file. Therefore I need to the fullpath of the filename like /var/local/file.java instead of file.java. The latter is what I got.
The problem I have with your code is that the function like "request.getServerScheme()" is not recognized. Maybe is it because I didn't install servelet package? I only installed javax package btw. Also my application runns on Tomcat server if this could give you some information. The error message I had is as follows:

Getting the absolute path of the current executing file

I have a file which will be placed in window and linux environment. It is not good to change the source code in that way:
String path = "D:\\java\file1.txt"; (Window)
String path = "/java/file1.txt"; (Linux)
So I would like to ask how to get the absolute path based on that executing file?
I referred to the reference in jsp, but I don't know what class and the coding syntax in console environment.
Thx for any help.

If you are looking to "get" a file that is located in a directory with (or somewhere under) the class file than use
myClass.getClass().getResource(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //URL
myClass.getClass().getResourceAsStream(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //InputStreamAs far as determining which Operating System you are on, there are a number of environment variables that will tell you that, and you can then format your file path accordingly.
You can use "/" in your path regardless of which OS you are using. You do not have to use "\\" on Windows (excpet maybe inside of a Runtime.exec command string).
Here is a very small program you can compile and run if you wish to see the list of System Properties available:
public class ShowProperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}Just save that to a file (named ShowProperties.java of course) and compile and run it, and you will get a list of your available System Properties and their current values

To get the path where your application has been installed you have to do the following:
have a class called "what_ever" in the folder.
then you do a litte:
String path=
what_ever.class.getRessource("what_ever.class").toString()
That get you a string like:
file:/C:/Program Files/Cool_program/what_ever.class
Then you process the result a little to remove anything you don't want:
path=path.substring(path.indexOf('/')+1),path.lastIndexOf('/'))
//Might be a little error here but you should find out //quickly if it's the case
And here you go, you have a nice
C:/Program Files/Cool_program
which is the path to your application.
Hooray

How to get the complete path of the file that is selected using FormFile

i m working on struts..
i hv used FormFile like
<html:file property="xsdpath" value="Browse" />
need to get the whole path that i will select using browse button
for example d:\foldername\filename.java
but FormFile Api has a method getFileName(); which returns the filename, for getting the absolute path wat has to be done.
please reply bak soon
thanks in advance

here i use formfile <html:file> just to allow the
user to select a xml file .
so i need to get the whole path of the selectedfile
to parse the xml file.No you dont.
You would definitely benefit from further reading on
file upload.
<html:file> tag renders an HTML <input> element of
type file.
When a user uploads a file, this file is sent as a
stream of data, which a program (jsp/servlet) on the
server, reads and stores the data back in the form
of a file on the server.
Any server program that needs to parse the file,
should do so on the file stored on the server.
There's no point in knowing the absolute path of the
file on the client machine. If a server program can
parse a file on the client machine, why upload the
file in first case ? Get the drift ?
i also want to show my user the path he hadselected.
If you have such a requirement, then yes.
But it sounds weird to me. If you see my response
above, you will realize that the server has a copy of
the client's file uploaded and then parsed. What if
the client has changed his file after upload ?
cheers,
ram.I also have a requirement to get the whole filepath of the file selected and place this information into a table. From FormFile I can only retreive the absolute filename
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks, dam

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.*;

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

How to get the application path?

Does some body know how to get the application path in Java? Here is an example about what I'm thinking: Let's imagin the application is on "c:\try" or "c:\ProgramFiles\MyApp". My question is how can I find the path where the application is. Please give an example if you know the answer. Thank you so much.

Those two replies give you some useful directories, it's true, but maybe not what the OP asked. However the OP asked for something that doesn't have a meaning (applications don't have to be "on" any directory, whatever that might mean).
Would the OP like to describe what the actual problem is here?

To get the absolute path of a file in JSP

Hi,
I want to include a HTML page in a jsp.The path of the jsp should not be hot coded.So that i can get the path from the jsp file i am running and then concat the correspondinghtml file name to the absolute path of the jsp file i am running.What can i do to get the absolute path of the jsp file.

I dont know if there is a way to get the path of the current jsp - but you sure can get the path to your web application using the ServletContext's getRealPath() method and then if you have stored the html (say x.html) in a folder (called, say 'static') immediately under your application root,
String contextPath = application.getRealPath("/"); //path to your application ctxt
String htmlFilePath = contextPath.append("/static/x.html");ram.

How to get the Change node in Production Server!!!!!

Hi Mr!
If you want to generate the e-file feature 40ACK, do it in our Customization client box (Golden box) & save the request & move to Quality & production.
Still if you need to workout only in Production, than with the help of Basis people you can get the Production change mode for 5 to 10 min time & can generate it. But mostly Basis people wont give us change mode for Production box ... with ur request they can do..try it.
Did u collected 4 quarter TAN no's for 2008 Quarter...if not collect it & generate it at a time.
All the best:-)
Kind Regards,
