JSF always uses absolute path

Hi I am new to JSF. You might be able to help me with an absolute path problem I encountered in my project.
Our team has a JSF project called PHA, it has been deployed to 8 production machines. Recently I made some change to it and want to test it on one of my company's testing machine n251. In order to access n251, I need to use my company's proxy bbweb1. Here is the URL I ran:
http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/bravo/pxhistory/map/n251/charlie/pha/ to access PHA on n251.(BTW, we use http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/ to access our production machines.) It seems like I got my main PHA page from N251. But when I clicked any
of the menu bars, bbweb1 proxy always ignores the relative path "bravo/pxhistory/map/n251" and simply rediect me to the main page again on one of our production machines. Here is the URL AFTER I clicked the menu bar:"http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/faces/jsp-pages/main page.jsp;jsessionid=CC8BD42D458EB5361532FF99FC1F5D83". I studied my code for the last 3 days and didn't find any problem. An only wild guess is: when I view source on my IE, I found JSF
always use absolute path :
src="/charlie/pha/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer/1161281
90776/javascript/tree.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" I don't know if this indicates why I failed to route to N251. Could this cause by a wrong config on bbweb1? or is there some trick I don't know? ... Since I don't
have much experience on JSF, can you please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

I wish there were. I don't know of any way to do this. Why
not submit it

What are the reasons for using absolute paths to embedded objects in word?

Hello,
hopefully someone can answer me the question why word always stores the absolute paths to linked objects? We use Word for documentation and these documents are stored in a version control system and sometimes several persons are working on a document. Because
of the absolute paths stored in the document all users would need to have the same directory structure so that the links would work for every person.
For linked objects it's not even possible to change the absolute paths to relative paths.
Additionally I would like to know what the difference between a "Graphic" and "Picture" object is. A graphic can be inserted by selecting "INSERT" -> "Pictures" and a "Graphic" doesn't seem to have a field
function and always uses absolute paths. "Graphics" can be inserted by selecting "INSERT" -> "Quick Parts" -> "Field..." -> "IncludePicture" and it's possible to use relative paths for "IncludePicture"
objects and it's possible to show the field function of a "Picture" object.
Regards
Martin

Images using absolute path on portlet server not appearing when gatewayed

I am gatewaying several applications via a Plumtree 5 Portal. Images in these applications when referenced using relative paths (../images/image.jpg) work. Images using absolute path (\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg). When gatewayed they are presented like this:
http:\\plumtreeServer\portal\server.pt\gateway\PTARGS_0_212_252_0_0_43/https:%3B/remoteServer/applicationFolder/Web/\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Weblogic.system.logFile wont use absolute path

I set my
weblogic.system.logFile=/deploy/weblogic.log
and it always prepends this with weblogic.system.home.
The docs say this should be a fully-qualified pathname, but the server
doesn't behave that way. I'm using 4.5.0.
Is this bug known, and has it been fixed? I'd really like to specify an
absolute path (not something relative to weblogic.system.home).
thanks,

Can I link to images using absolute paths in HTML Help and still see them locally?

I'm publishing HTML help pages to a Web server. All .htm files on the Web server are in their own folder, and all image files are in a separate folder. Links to images are generally of the form <img src="/images/clear.png" height="14" width="8">. That is, the images use an absolute path reference from the doc root folder (rather than relative path from the current file folder, such as "../images/myImg.png").
I can modify the HTML for the images to follow this convention, but then I cannot see the images locally within RoboHelp, but must instead wait until the files are integrated with the Web server. Is there a way to set up a RoboHelp project so that I can force an image path of "/images" both locally and in the HTML?
Using RoboHelp 9.0.1.232.
Thanks.

RoboHelp expects the images to be within the project and will need that if you are to see them when working. It then uploads them to the server when you publish. There is a check box when you publish so that only updated files get uploaded.
You could point Resource Manager to the server folder with the images and then link to those images. What happens then is the image gets downloaded into your project so that you see it when working. If the server image changes you will see the icon in Project Manager changes so that you can update the local copy. It would be a one-off exercise changing your workflow.

Only Use Absolute Paths, Disable Relative Paths

Hi All,
I am trying to work out how to disable Relative Paths in
Dreamweaver 8. We are wanting to create some eBay templates in
dreamweaver. Once these are created we want to copy and paste the
code into the eBay description. However when using relative paths,
this breaks the page when it is uploaded to eBay. Obviously because
it is looking for ../../images/logo.gif etc.
What it saves as currently: src="../../images/logo.gif"
What I want it to save as: src="
http://mysitehere.com/images/logo.gif"
So how can I completely disable relative paths and have
Absolute Paths in its place.
Regards,
Joel

You can't.

Loading External SWF using Absolute Path

Hi,
I am having trouble loading an external swf on a server using the absolute path. This external swf uses webcam streams and is loaded in the original swf file using the URL request code. I can load other swfs but just not that one. I have set the permission of the external swf to allow write/read/execute. Any help is apprieciated.
P.S. I have also tried changing the location and name but still doesn't help.
//Loads the augmented SWF into the main timeline.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.reminisce.me/files/jz_AR.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(request);
arHolder.addChild(loader);
arHolder.x=300;
arHolder.y=125;
Thank you for your help in advance.

I can´t get the linked swf to run in any browser, are you sure that it compiled right?

Unable to FTP to folder using absolute path

I'm unable to FTP to a folder on the server that I have permission to if I use the absolute path to the file instead of a relative path. I can't use "/var/www/", but going to the same folder through "../../var/www/" works. However, I think the latter may be causing some other issues around .htacess rewrite and php detection (false warnings after export about php not supported, and .htaccess file not written), but I'm unable to test because I can't get to the right folder without the "../../".

Hi Andrew, knowing you're in the Prerelease Program, can you give the current Beta build a try and let us know on the prerelease forum whether or not you still encounter this issue? Thanks.

How access an element using getElementById() without absolute path?

hello,
Currently I'm working on a JSF woodstock project.

                                </f:facet>when i access button element using absolute path like
document.getElementById("form1:pnlGrpBankListMainContainer:table1:grpPnlButtons:btnEdit") it works fine.
But when i try to access it using
document.getElementById("form1:table1:btnEdit") it returns null.
I've common javascrpt functions for all the screens.
so i do not want to change the current javascript functionality nor do i want want to specify complete path for an element.
So is there any way so that i can access the elements without absolute path or any othet solution?
Edited by: sonali_amonkar on Apr 1, 2008 11:17 PM

thanks for your reply mjswallow.
Do you mean that I'll write a new javascript which will accept all the parent elements and inside this method I'lll call the common javascript methods that are present in our project?
but this solution would result in changing the already existing javascript methods that i coded for all screens. right?
that is i do not want to change.
any other solutions you can think of?

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

Problem with absolute path and context using Tomcat 4

I added the following line to my server.xml:
<Context path="/track" docBase="track" />Now I have used absolute paths(ex: /includes/css/style.css) throughout my code and it worked when I served my application from the ROOT context but when I moved it to the /track - the paths did not include the new root context.
So instead of looking at http://localhost/track/includes/css/style.css it still looks at http://localhost/includes/css/style.css.
Is there any kind of setting I am missing in the web.xml or server.xml? I really would like to be able to use absolute paths relative to the context root.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure what exactly you are asking but here is my shot. If one tomcat is serving more than one application then the only way for tomcat to know which application to refer is by looking at the context path. Since you have the context path of /track then it should appear in all of your urls being directed to the server (for both servlet and jsp). Since you have used absolute path in all the cases either you will have to change the absolute path or you will have to define them relative (which is a better idea) to a base dir. Hope it helps.

Embedding fonts in AS3 with absolute paths

I'm having difficulty embedding fonts in AS3. For instance,
using absolute paths:
[Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\CONSOLA.TTF",
fontName="Consolas", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
... I get the error message: "Error: unable to resolve
'C:WINDOWSFontsCONSOLA.TTF' for transcoding.
I'm hoping the backslashes are missing from the error just
because the compiler doesn't return them, and not that it's losing
them. I've tried various TTFs with the same result. Even tried
copying code from the AS3 Cookbook letter for letter. :)
Thoughts?

I have a similar issue happening. I am using AS3 and have
this code in my file:
// package, import statements etc...
// the line below is the problematic line
[Embed(systemFont="..\\..\\..\\fonts\\arial.ttf",
fontName="Arial (True Type)",
mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
// now declare my class
public class ImageRotator extends UIComponent
// etc.
The class compiles fine but when I try to run it I get the
following runtime error:
"Error: Error #2136: The SWF file
file:///C:/projects/photogallery_screensaver/bin/photogallery_screensaver.swf
contains invalid data."
I've tried several things including changing the location of
the font file, using a different font file, embedding a systemFont.
But I always get the same error.
Help please!
Thanks,
Dan

Robohelp HTML command-line utility overwrites merged files in .hhp file with absolute paths. Any way to prevent this?

I have a Robohelp 11 HTML project which uses merged CHM files. I have a help build script which compiles this project using the RH command-line utility. Whenever this runs, RH overwrites the names of the merged CHM files in the .hhp file to use absolute paths (even if the .hhp file is read-only!). I've searched Adobe forums and this appears to be a RH bug. In my case, it doesn't stop the project performing the merge, but it looks like it causes problems when searching the resultant parent CHM (topics matching the search simply don't show up in child projects), as the search cannot necessarily find the merged files referenced in the .hhp when someone performs the search on a different machine. I notice that if I compile via the RH UI, the .hhp entries are not overwritten. So, a workaround is to do the build manually. However, we'd like to automate our help build. Is there any way to prevent the command-line compiler overwriting the merge file entries in the .hhp?

This was a problem with Rh9, see Item 13 at Using RoboHelp 9
I haven't seen it reported since but maybe something at that link will help.

Menu using relative paths

Hi, I have flash menu all using relative paths to the html
files. I also have some files in a separate folder for
organization. I add the folder paths to get to the html files
within the folder, but when I get into that folders file, i cant
get back out. If I add ../ to the other files, it of course brings
me out, but cant get to the other files. I hope that makes sense,
Should I just use absolute paths?
file.html
/folder/file.html
otherfile.html
thanks,
Josh

absolute would probably work best.
When a link brings you into a folder (/folder/file.html), if
the same set of links is there and you click a link that is
supposed to bring you to home (index.html), it tries to open
(/folder/index.html), not index.html. Make sense?
Thanks,
Josh

[JSF 2] Newbie, I'm always using ${} and never #{}. When will I be tricked?

Well,
It because I am a newbie with JSF. If I am understanding well the way ${...} EL expressions works, this is not the case for #{...} ones.
Therefore everywhere I use an expression, I surround it with ${ }.
I only change this for action methods and <h:input ...> target properties.
With no trouble until now.
Because in my mind: ${...} means: field used for HTML output only.
and #{...} field used for HTML output and input.
With this basic vision, when will I be tricked ?
Regards,
Grunt.

Personally I always use #{}. IIRC, the difference only matters if you use JSP. I am in the habit of using Facelets.

JSF always uses absolute path
