How to open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page

Hi
I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
I have tried window.open("c:
test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
Any idea how to open a local file ?
Thanks
/Jakob

Jacob,
I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
Cheers,
Benjamin Houttuin

Open a Local file from JSP

Hi All,
I want to access a local file from a JSP. On click of the link the local file should open. The location of the local file is
O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc
and the hyper link on the JSP shows
file:///O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc
somehow the file does not open from the JSP page but it opens from the browser if I type
'file:///O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc' in the address bar.
Can anybody please help.
regards,
Shardul.

if you'd like to show the real path to the user, use simply an ftp server !
however, if you prefer a secure solution, so use a servlet:
example:
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class SendWord extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
    //get the 'file' parameter
    String fileName = (String) request.getParameter("file");
    if (fileName == null || fileName.equals(""))
      throw new ServletException(
          "Invalid or non-existent file parameter in SendWord servlet.");
    // add the .doc suffix if it doesn't already exist
    if (fileName.indexOf(".doc") == -1)
      fileName = fileName + ".doc";
    String wordDir = getServletContext().getInitParameter("word-dir");
    if (wordDir == null || wordDir.equals(""))
      throw new ServletException(
          "Invalid or non-existent wordDir context-param.");
    ServletOutputStream stream = null;
    BufferedInputStream buf = null;
    try {
      stream = response.getOutputStream();
      File doc = new File(wordDir + "/" + fileName);
      response.setContentType("application/msword");
      response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="
          + fileName);
      response.setContentLength((int) doc.length());
      FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(doc);
      buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
      int readBytes = 0;
      while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1)
        stream.write(readBytes);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      throw new ServletException(ioe.getMessage());
    } finally {
      if (stream != null)
        stream.close();
      if (buf != null)
        buf.close();
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
    doGet(request, response);
}hope that helps

How to print a pdf file from Labview

Hi,
Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.
{"code 3005" ,,,"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Display PDF in Dialog.vi"}.
Thank you for your help.

You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

How to call java class file from jsp

hi
we need to call java classes (which are written separately in .java file )from jsp file. we need it for our project if anyone knows about please reply us.
bye
siva sankari

you can call the methods in a lot of ways. you could use scriptlets with the
<%@ page import="package.class"%> and then inside instantiate an object
<%
MyClass mc = new MyClass(parameters if any);
mc.theMethodYouWantToCall();
%>or as Madathil has stated,
or use the JSP tags
<jsp:useBean id="anyname" class="classname"/>and then use the getProperty tag
or even Custom Tags

How to retrieve a local file from a portal report.

Hi,
I need to access a local htm file from my local directory. I stored the filename in
a table. And I built a portal report to select the filename from the table. The filename
in the report will be link to a procedure that I created to pass the filename. The
procedure code is as follow:
(v_filename in varchar2) IS
url varchar2(100);
BEGIN
url := 'uploaddoc/'| |v_filename;
portal30.wwv_redirect.url(p_url =>url);
END;
Then in the httpd.conf file, I put in an alias like this:
I put an alias in the httpd.conf file like this:
Alias /uploaddoc/ "C:\My_Data\uploaddoc/"
I stopped the http server and restarted it after I made the changes.
When I run the report, I click on the filename link: in my example,it is:
internal_portal_faq, the filename is passed to the procedure that I created.
But I got the following error message on the browser:
No DAD configuration Found
DAD name:
PROCEDURE : internal_portal_faq
URL : http://localhost:80/pls/portal30/uploaddoc/internal_portal_faq
I am running on version 3.07 on NT on my laptop.
Any idea what I did wrong?
P.S. I don't want to upload the file using a portal form into the blob field.
Thanks;
Kelly.

How to read a local file from Forms10g using PJC/Bean

I'm trying to read a file on the client machine using a Bean.
The code in the Bean is:
File fp = new File(mFileName);
printToConsole( "AFTER creating a File object " );
if (fp.exists())
I get the message after creating File object. But at the next statement - fp.exists() - the Forms session terminates giving a FRM-92100 - Your connection to the server was interrupted.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amit

Frank, Thank you for your response on signing the jar. That was exactly what I was missing. After signing the jar, I am able to do client level operations.
Grant, Thank you for asking about WebUtil. To give you a background as to what we are trying to do - to integrate our Forms 10g application with another software - in this case a client-server app. We want to send a message from this app. to our Forms10g app.(a pre-defined Form in the app.) which would initiate certain Forms navigation based on the message. In essence, Forms needs to be "listening" to this app. (in a non-blocking mode, the Forms app. should not be "locked-out" while listening for a message)
The only way I could think of was to write a Bean (modified version of Frank's Dispatch Event sample on his blog) which would spawn a thread and listen for a message from the other app. For our prototype, I started off with watching for a file on the client machine. The final goal is to listen for a message on MQ. This will facilitate us to integrate our Forms10g app. with any other app.
Regarding WebUtil, I did not find a way to do the listening/polling in a non-blocking way. Maybe I must have missed the obvious - Frank can very well attest to that.
Any feedback is most welcome.
Thanks.
Amit

How to execute oracle reports file from jsp using WL as an app server

I plan to use jsp to accept IN parameters and later want to execute oracle
          report execute stored in some directory and provide results back to the
          client browser window. Is this possible in JSP + WL? If yes, can you
          provide some tips on the code?
          Thanks.


Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.
