Include External File

Hi,
I'm using RequestDispatcher include method to include HTML files in my servlet. What I want to do however is include HTML files situated on a separate server in a separate domain. However even though I preface the address with http://xxxx/myfile.html it still searches for the file from the doc root. Does anyone know how I can get it to include a file from an external server. (I am using iPlanet 4.1 btw).
Thanks,
Sean

If you read Javadoc for javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher and the various methods that one can use to get an instance of an object implementing this interface, it will be clear that it can be used only if the target resource is on the sane server as the one in which you are running your code in the first place.
For your purpose, you would have to use the facilities provided by java.net.URL, java.net.URLConnetion and java.net.HttpURLConnection to gather content from the remote resource and then place that contents into your own resource's HTML being generated yourself.

How to include external files in JSP

hi,
How to include external files like image or javascript in to jsp pages.
I am using MVC frame work. So i have to use request dispatcher. While calling the pages trough dispatcher the external files are missing from the output. Also am using tomcat as server,web.xml(deployment descriptor ) is also configured.
regards
sree

When you use the request dispatcher, the relative path for all your ressources becomes the relative path of your calling serlvet and not the JSP/servlet that you call. Make sure to use the full relative path such as:
/PATH_TO_YOUR_DIRECTORY/myRessource.ext
NOT
SOME_DIRECTORY/myRessource.ext

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!

Solved!

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.
Rgds,

What is the best way to include external files in an application?

I am developing a vocabulary-training program (Adobe AIR using Flex Builder 3). Asks you what an equivalent of a czech word is in english and the other way. I am storing the "dictionaries" in external XML files. I would like to include about twenty of them in the installation. So far I just had them in the applicationDirectory, but now, I added an editing feature and I ran across the fact, that I cannot write into the applicationDirectory. So I figured the most intuitive place for the dictionaries would be in the documentsDirectory/name of program. However, how do I tell the AIR installation to make the according folder and include the files?
How do I do this, or what do you think is a better solution? Thanks!

If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.
I'm creating an application that stores data in the "applicationStorageDirectory".
Mac storage directory is <appData>/<appId>/Local Store/
where <appData> is user preferences folder, typically /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences
Win: storage directory is <appData>\<appId>\Local Store\
where <appData> is typically C:\Documents and Settings\<userName>\Application Data
Note: Vista uses "junctions", which behave like shortcuts but look just like regular folders.
    It is not possible to access them, and any attempt to do so will give you an "Access Denied" error.
    Here is the real folder location:
      C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Roaming\ContactManager\Local Store\contacts.xml
Linux: <appData>/<appID>/Local Store/    where <appData> is /home/<user>/.appdata
Here is how to code to read from and write to a file there in an AIR app:
var contactsFile:File;
var contactsXML:XML;
var contactsXLC:XMLListCollection;
var stream:FileStream;
contactsFile = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
contactsFile = contactsFile.resolvePath("contacts.xml");
stream = new FileStream();
if (contactsFile.exists) {
    stream.open(contactsFile, FileMode.READ);
    contactsXML = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));
    stream.close();
    contactsXLC = new XMLListCollection(contactsXML..contact);
}else{
    var outputString:String = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\n<contacts>\n';
    for each(var xml:XML in contactsXLC){
      outputString += xml.toXMLString();
      outputString += "\n";
    outputString += "</contacts>\n";
    outputString = outputString.replace(/\n/g, File.lineEnding);
    stream = new FileStream();
    stream.open(contactsFile, FileMode.WRITE);
    stream.writeUTFBytes(outputString);
    stream.close();

Open file(including external file) problem on Lion

I have a problem with AppleScript on Lion (OS 10.7) and cannot know what to do...
I'd like to open an alias file which has some external files. (For example, adobe illustrator's .ai file with some .png or Logic Pro file with audio files) But I cannot do it, it was working perfectoly on Mac OS 10.6. It seems file system had changed on Lion....??
Opening normal file on Lion >> it works.
tell application "Finder"
activate
          open file "test.rtf" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home
end tell
Opening an alias of normal file on Lion >> it works.
tell application "Finder"
activate
open file "testAlias" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home
end tell
Opening an file with external files on Lion >> it works.
tell application "Finder"
activate
open file "testWithImagefiles.ai" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home
end tell
Opening an alias file with external files >> it works on 10.6 but NOT on Lion, just open the window ...
tell application "Finder"
activate
open file "testWithImagefiles.ai" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home
end tell
Is there any idea?

I'm not sure what the problem here is - your statement that it "just opens the window" doesn't mean much. opens what window? a FInder window? an new illustrator window? a window in your living room? (the last would be very cool, mind you...)
at any rate, I think the problem is in some confusion over the word 'alias'. In applescript, alias just means any file system referent: e.g. alias "HD:Users:yourname" is a path specification for your home folder. file system objects that point to other file system objects are referred to as alias files. so try one of these two versions instead:
-- using alias file directly
          open alias file "testWithImagefilesAlias" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home
-- resolving alias file first
          open original item of (alias file "testWithImagefilesAlias" of folder "scriptTest" of folder "Desktop" of home)

How to include external .js file into .ear file using NetBean 5.5.1?

is it possible to include external .js file into .ear file using NetBean 5.5.1? if not, then where should I placed the external .js file and how to write the src="xxx" element? (that is , how to write the path of "xxx"?)
I am using JBOSS 4.2.2 GA as server
thx!!

Even this is also not possible because, the code in that package is developed by DWR and i am just adding it to my lib folder and importing the respective classes. In the same manner i need to include the *.js* file in the JSP.It took me about 3 minutes reading through the [DWR Getting Started|http://getahead.org/dwr/getstarted] page to learn that you don't have to do any of that. Perhaps you should read that page?

Including external javascript and css files in servlet

Hello,
I am struggling to generate an HTML page from within a servlet using external javascript and css files. I am not sure how to point the servlet to the external files.
Any code sample to accomplish the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks inadvance,
Antana.

Can't you just include the following in your servlet?
       response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<head>");
        out.println("<title>Getting CSS</title>");
        out.println("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='yourCSS.css' />");
        out.println("<script language='JavaScript' SRC='yourScript.js'></script>");
        out.println("</head>");

Peter,
I tried testing the RSS feed using a FeedReader, and it works with that. But, when I try feed the same URL ( http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss ) as the XML source in the Omniportlet, I get the following error message:
Error
Failed to open specified URL. Check the following: is the URL is active; is there a valid proxy setting or, if HTTP authentication is required, check user name and password. [http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss]
Here is how the proxy is defined in the Provider.xml file:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>www-proxy.us.oracle.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>80</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>my Oracle Single-SignOn username</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>my Oracle Single-signOn pwd</proxyPassword>
</proxyInfo>
I am on the Oracle Intranet. So, please let me know how I could reach you offline, if you think that will make things easier to resolve this problem.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Including an External File

I have an external file that contains a declaration of an ActiveX object that I need to include in several JSP's. The external file resides on a separate web server from where our applications reside.
I can't use the Include directive or the <jsp:include> tag because they only permit relative URL's. I also have read that I can use the <c:import> action tag provided in the JSTL, but we do not use JSTL currently and it would require additional time to add that code to our applications and test it.
Is there any other way to include this external file in my JSP pages?
Thanks
Tony

Thanks for the help. It hasn't been decided where the external file will reside, but it will probably be on our mainframe running WebSphere so I don't think the second option will work.
We were hoping that we could just add 1 line of code to our pages to pull in the external file to simply the development process, but that doesn't look like it will work. We might have to create a second file that can be referenced with a relative URL, and have this file use one of the URL Connection classes to get the first file and write out its contents.
Anyway, thanks for the tips!
Tony

Flash CS5.5 & Air 3.1.0.4880 don't include huge amount of external files

My project have included 72 files (36 pngs and 36 swfs) + 2 (main swf and main xml)
Totally 74 files.
Building from Flash CS5.5 return strange error with incorrect text codepage (charset).
When I remove 2 files, so I will have 70 my files and 2 default app file - project builded successful.
From commandline I can build without any errors any file count. But from Flash CS5.5 not more than 74 included files

Sounds like this is a Flash Pro issue, but I'm glad the command line is working for you. Would you mind posting about this on the Flash Pro forums?
Thanks,
Chris
