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 give the file path in adf application

Hii all,
I want to use castor xml framework in adf application..
for which i have to un- marshaller the xml file..
by using following method-
Person person = (Person)
Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Person.class,
new FileReader("src/com/person.xml"));
if i use this method in a java class inside a main method directly it works fine,
but when i try to initiate the java class through a jspx page deployed on integrated server..
it gives the file not found exception..
how to define the file path so it can be properly used even when application is deployed on server.
Thanks

duplicate {thread:id=2418158} ?
I guess the path you are using is wrong. It works on your mashiene as the src path is available. When you run the app on a server (jspx file) there is no src path as long as you don't include it in your WAR wich you should not do anyway.
If you need to access such data you can create a folder in your webroot folder and the the resources from there as /xml_folder_name or if the xml files shouldn't be visible from the outside put the folder under hte web-inf folder.

How to get the current path of my application in java ?

how to get the current path of my application in java ?
thanks

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 file path from HTML input form in Firefox3

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'.
Can anyone help to find a single solution to get the file path both on Firefox 3 and IE7?
Thanks in advance....

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?

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?

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 the current path in an application?

i don't mean in the applet, i know i can use getCode() there, but how can i do the same thing in an application?
should i use ClassLoader.getResource(String)? but i don't know how to use it, what does the parameter String mean?

Start reading here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/index.html
Try looking at classes in the java.io.* package. You will probably be interested in things like Reader, InputStreamReader, BufferedReader. Other classes which might be helpful are:
java.lang.StringBuffer
java.net.URL
All of these things are documented at the above link -- it's an invaluable resource. If you find things you don't understand about these classes, then consult your book, search the internet, and search this forum. If none of that helps, THEN post a specific question to this forum (and no sooner).

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() {

System.exit(0);
frame.pack();

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

but i am able to retrive Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1 upto this .i am unable to retrive Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\applications\j2ee-apps.

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

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?
The following code does not work. isFile() does NOT recognize files as files but only as directories. Why?
Furthermore the size is not retrieved correctly.
How do I have to code it otherwise? Is there a way of not converting f-to-string-to-File again but iterate over all file objects instead?
Thank you
Peter

I checked the documentation and found GetPathNameProc(SPPlatformFileSpecification*) function, but I couldn't get the parameter SPPlatformFileSpecification*.
Is there any other way to get the file path of background layer in my custom filter?
Thanks,

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!
