How to open a file located at server using JSP

hi,
i would like to open a file located at server as it is. I mean to say, if it a MS Word file, i wanna open it in MS Word, if it an Excel file, i wanna open it in Excel. i know the location (path) of the file. Can someone help me please.
Thanx

The best way would simply be to HREF it.
ie<a href="excelfiles/spreadsheet.xls">Open spreadsheet</a>When a user then clicks on that lick in their browser they should be given the option to either download or (if they have the appropriate program, in this case MS Excel, installed) open it.
This works best if the client is using a version of Internet Explorer (if you're dealing with MS files), but any browser should potentially offer you the option of opening the file.
Beyond that there's no way to specifically open a program on a client machine (it'd be a bit of a security loophole if you could! - Imagine a JSP page being able to open FDISK...). All you can do is pass the file (via the HREF) and let the client decide what to do with it.

How to open .exe file located in server system by the client system

hi,
i am using tomcat 5.0 as server and jsp as front end.
I placed some of the software in the server system.I want to open the exe of those software from the client system when the user clicks the button.
I am able to open them in the server system itself but if i try to open it from other system(client system using ip address of server system), the exe file gets opened and displayed in the server system only but not in the client system.
any idea???

I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
1.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
2.
In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
SQL Server Compact Edition
3.
From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <
Browse for more...>
4.
And you will see C:\, D:\, G:\
drive and so on and open, your SDF file where it is located
I hope this has been informative for you and good luck

How to upload a file in BPEL Console Using JSP in JDeveloper, please help..

Send to me response Please.....................................

Hi,
I thin that you asked the same question before and I premember that I ointed you to the ADF BC developer guide and the SRDemo if your application uses JSF. For plain JSP - if you Google for: JSP and file upload then you find plenty of sources for JSP and Struts.
The remaining part is how to stiff the file into a BPEL service on the middle tier. For this I recommended to ask your question on the BPEL forum
BPEL
Note that the BPEL integration would be easier if it was done on the middle tier and not onthe client

Hi,
If you are on windows, the solution is to create a shared directory anf give access rights to your sapservice <SID> user.
It's not really logical to put files on app servers because one app server can stopped without stopping the system.
So we decided to put all our shared directories on the Central Instance server.

i any have clear idea on this... pls throw the ways how to convert........

Hi Rajesh,
JAR file in itself in not deployable.
So v need to envelop this jar file into an EAR file and then v deploy this EAR file on SDM.
Creating Jar
Inside NWDS --> Windows --> Open perspective --> J2EE Development --> right click on ur proj --> Build EJB Archive

How to open sharepoint files in edit mode using associated link?

Hi All,
We are trying to use the URL links available through SSM to open documents we hold on SharePoint. These will be the action plans for the risks we are entering as KPIs. The aim is to established a one-to-one link between the risk KPI and the risk action plan as this is a fundamental reason behind using SSM for Risk.
However, when we enter the SharePoint URL into the SSM admin screen, clicking the link from SSM UI opens up the file as an internet explorer page which can not be edited and saved back to SharePoint. We did find a way to get through My Network Places to over write the file, but this only works if you have previously opened and edited and saved the file from SharePoint and requires lots of navigation by the user and is therefore not an appropriate solution.
Is there any way we this can be achieve? Appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
David

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. What I meant was when we put the UNC into SSM as a link in the URL box, SSM does not use the address it is given, instead it adds a http:// back in front and once again fails when opening the file in sharepoint.
For example:
SharePoint folder view used in test:
http://wccportal/resources/performance/risk/Risk%20Action%20Plans/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fresources%2fperformance%2frisk%2fRisk%20Action%20Plans%2fDOR&FolderCTID=&View=%7b84123F22%2d74F2%2d41B9%2d918C%2dFF23DAE35EB3%7d
Excel UNC link to folder
wccportal\resources\performance\risk\riskactionplans\DOR
SSM UNC Link - SSM changes the address to include http:// and also removes other \ breaks and adds in numbers and symbols.
Is there a way to stop SSM converting the local address back into a web address?
Thanks,
David

How to Upload a File in Bpel Process using JSP

I am trying to upload file in bpel process using front end as a Jsp.
i create the jsp page and i am able to pass the value from jsp to bpel process.
In bpel process i don't know how to pass or assign the specified file name into file adapter for reading the files.
Please help me...
Saravanan

You don't assign the url of the file to it.
To either get the data from the file into the bpel process you could use the url-parameter together with the ora:readFile function....or you could let your web-application upload the file to some location on the server...and on this location you could use the file-adapter together with the polling, to start your bpel process.

How to open PDF file located on the SD card?

The firefox browser has a cabability of opening the online PDF files. However, I cannot find a way to open the pdf files I have copied to the device's SD card via the USB connection.

Hi,
Thank you for this question, we don't yet have a way to read PDF files off of the sdcard on Firefox OS. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. There is a new app for exploring the sdcard (for sharing), so hopefully we'll have an app for reading PDF files coming soon.

How to Download a file from web server using servlets

how do we download a file from Java Web Server connecting to oracle database
it should start as soon a i click a button in my html browser
please reply as it is needed to complete my project to submited to the collage

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).
