Loading class file stored in BLOB field

- I am able to store and retrieve Java files and XML files in and from a BLOB field, but when I store a class file and try and load it using Class Loader, it us unable to load the class. The size of the class file increases by 1 byte when I retrieve it from the database. Is this some security feature by the JVM? Is it not possible to store, retrieve and load a class file from a database table?
Thanks

Hi,
First, I would suggest you use fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) to compare these two different client requests, second, please try to use Azure Storage Explorer (http://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/) to do
this instead of the Azure Web Storage Explorer.

Storing a file in a BLOB field in the database through forms

Hi, I want to have a form that lets the user choose a file he has on his client side and load this file into a BLOB field in the database.
I know how to use "GET_FILE_NAME" to get the file, the second part is what I'm having problems with. Do I use an OLE object? How do I initailize it? Or what is the best way to go? Thanks.

Are you looking for something like this?
DECLARE
   l_temp clob;
   l_text varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
    l_temp := httpuritype('http://www.oracle.com/PO.xsd').getclob;
    l_text := substr(l_temp, 1, 2000);
    dbms_output.put_line(l_text);
END;N.B.: Not Tested...

RETRIEVE OF ETXT FILE STORED IN BLOB

Hi,
I have a question on utl file. I wrote some text in an utl file (text file) and stored it as blob in data base at back end while my team mate has to retrieve the data stored in blob in front end using java. when he retrieves, the file which i stored as blob is retrieved as html file not as text file i stored initially . when we retrieve a file stored as blob, how a blob file will be retrieved..is it depends on front end programmer or is there any format where a file stored as blob will be retrieved only on that format? Kindly give your expertise on this question

As Billy said, the passing through correct mime type is the only reliable way. If you have already loaded tons of blobs without providing this information, you may try a small workaround to determine the right mime type for your files by emulating the file utility behaviour in the database - you have to load the /etc/mime-magic or something similar for your os into the database and then compare certain bytes of your lobs with those recorded in the mime-magic file. An example how it can be done is here
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-9592_11-5219073.html
You could so complete the missing information in the database without to unload your data , but you should be aware - this can not replace the need to provide right mime type information by loading into database.

Loading .class files for reflection

I'm trying to write a program that lets the user select thier .class files to gather
information about those classes with reflection.
I can't figure out how to get ClassLoader to load .class files outside the program
directory.

I've tried both these options, and spent some time on it too,
but failed. If can't find a class that can load clases form a URL
how can I write my own ClassLoader that does it.
The ClassLoaders all seem to assume that they already know where
to look for the class files. Perhaps if I could tell them where to look,
but I don't see how.

Finding loaded Class file from particular Jar

Hi,
I have multiple jars containing same class file.
How can I find out that the loaded Class file belongs to particular jar?
Thanks
madan

In most cases it's possible with ProtectionDomain and CodeSource:ProtectionDomain pd = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain();
CodeSource cs = pd.getCodeSource();
if (cs != null) {
System.out.println("It came from " + cd.getLocation());
} else {
System.out.println("Location unknown.");
}For further information see

Error displaying a jpg file loaded into a table with blob field

This may not be the correct forum for this question, but if it isn't could someone direct me to the correct one.
I have created a table with a blob field in which I have loaded a jpg image. This appeared to work correctly, but when I try to display the image in internet explorer it comes back and tells me that it doesn't recognize the file type. Enclosed is the table create, load, and display pl/sql code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks. For the mime/header I used owa_util.mime_header('images/jpg') because my image is a jpg file.
The database is 10g
-- Create table
create table PHOTOS
IMAGEID NUMBER(10),
IMAGE BLOB,
IMAGE_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
load image
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_file ( p_id number, p_photo_name in varchar2) IS
src_file BFILE;
dst_file BLOB;
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
src_file := bfilename('SNAPUNCH', p_photo_name);
-- insert a NULL record to lock
INSERT INTO photos (imageid, image_name, image)
VALUES (p_id , p_photo_name, EMPTY_BLOB())
RETURNING image INTO dst_file;
-- lock record
SELECT image
INTO dst_file
FROM photos
WHERE imageid = p_id AND image_name = p_photo_name
FOR UPDATE;
-- open the file
dbms_lob.fileopen(src_file, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
-- determine length
lgh_file := dbms_lob.getlength(src_file);
-- read the file
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
-- update the blob field
UPDATE photos
SET image = dst_file
WHERE imageid = p_id
AND image_name = p_photo_name;
-- close file
dbms_lob.fileclose(src_file);
END load_file;
display image
PROCEDURE display_image(p_id NUMBER) IS
Photo BLOB;
v_amt NUMBER DEFAULT 4096;
v_off NUMBER DEFAULT 1;
v_raw RAW(4096);
BEGIN
-- Get the blob image
SELECT image
INTO Photo
FROM PHOTOS
WHERE IMAGEID = p_id;
owa_util.mime_header('images/jpg');
BEGIN
LOOP
-- Read the BLOB
dbms_lob.READ(Photo, v_amt, v_off, v_raw);
-- Display image
htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(v_raw));
v_off := v_off + v_amt;
v_amt := 4096;
END LOOP;
dbms_lob.CLOSE(Photo);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;
END;
The url I enter is: http://webdev:7777/tisinfo/tis.tiss0011.Display_Image?p_id=1

Just a little more information. When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpeg') I can't display the file. It just shows up with a red x for the file.
When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpg') it displays the file, but in the format
¿¿¿¿JFIF¿¿-Intel(R) JPEG Library, version [2.0.16.48]¿¿C
This is the way I would expect it to look if I opened it with Notepad, or an application that doesn't recognize jpg files. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?? Thanks.

Diaplay Word file stored in blob into a browser using JSP

Dear All
I have files stored in oracle table in a blob field.I store the files using forms 10g and webutil. I can upload the files and display them successfully in forms, however when i use JSP to retrieve the files and display them in Internet Explorer, I'm able to display the pdf files, bmp , jpg and video but I'm getting junk characters when I try displaying (word , excel , access or powerpoint files which might contain arabic Characters )
the code I use to display the files is as follows :
<%
try
Connection conn = null;
String username=session.getAttribute("username").toString().toUpperCase();
String password=session.getAttribute("password").toString().toUpperCase();
String ip = "*****************";
String sid = "***************";
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@"+ip+":1521:"+sid,username,password);
String par = request.getParameter("LETTER");
String par1 = request.getParameter("SERIAL");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from TableName where PK1 like '"+par+"'"+" and PK2 like '"+par1+"'" );
if (rs.next())
Blob pic = null;
byte[] blobBytesArray = null;
OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
pic = rs.getBlob("BLOBFIELD");
int len = new Integer( new Long( pic.length()).toString() ).intValue();
blobBytesArray = pic.getBytes(1,len);
if (blobBytesArray != null)
if (blobBytesArray.length > 0 )
stream.write(blobBytesArray) ;
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage() + "<BR>");
%>
can you please guide me of how to display other file types.
Best Regards.

Hello,
Ideally when you store the document put the content-type in a column and set the content type in your JSP. This will indicate to the browser what is the type of file and you should not have any issue with any type.

Downloading a file from Database [Blob field]

I am trying to write an application which can upload and download files [Excel, Word etc.] to/from an Oracle 9i database Blob field. I am using Java/JSP for the same.
The upload part works just fine. However, when I try to download the file that I uploaded, I get an error.
A dialog box comes up asking me to Open/Save the file. However, when I try to save it, it says
�Internet Explorer cannot download �..tion=download&planId= testplan from localhost
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.�
I am using IE 6.0. I tested the same with Firefox browser and was able to download the file.
Can anyone help?
Code:
Following is the code I am using for the same.

Tomcat6 does not load class files from WEB-INF/lib/myjarfile.jar WHY???

I have placed my jar file in c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jar
But, after restarting tomcat6, when i try to import the class file contained in the myjarfile.jar in a servlet, it says
ProcessFileUpload.java:4: package test.test1 does not exist

^It clearly tomcat's class loading problem.
As i unzipped my jar and placed the packagefolder structure to

Plz help load class files

hai forum,
Plz help me out regarding this trouble.
I have extracted class files of a jar file into a local directory D:\myClass.
Now i need to access these class files.I loaded the path D:\myClass using URL ClassLoader.
                              File file = new File("D:myClass");
                      URL url = file.toURL();
                      URL[] urls = new URL[]{url};
                      ClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
                      Class c = cl.loadClass(classname);The rest of the code is for listing the methods of the class file.But the class file is not getting loaded and thus the methods are not listed.
Has it got anything to do with the way i have extracted and stored the class files?
Plz help me identify my mistake.
Thank you.

Hi, I will borrow this thread to discuss my problem with loading a class file.
How do you use the class when you have loaded it?
I'm using this code:
File file = new File("C:\\Foo\\Foo.class");
URL url = file.toURL();
URL[] urls = new URL[]url;
ClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
Class c = cl.loadClass(cl.getClass().getName());
Object o = c.newInstance(); <-- This can't be done, my applet just stops and starts to wait or something. I don't get any exception or anything.
The class Foo.class has a constructor that's prints some text and a function that can print some other text. Is it possible to call that function in some way?

How to load externl files (PDF) into BLOB column. Please help.

Hi All,
I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.

i used byte[] mapping to BLOB.i did it successfully.
however, i'm facing another problem. it is that
when i insert files larger than 4k, there is exception error. it said that the inserted value is too large.
is that the problem of orcale JDBC?
is that any solution to solve this restriction?
it is very urgent, pls help!
thx a lot

Hi Lee
Thanks for ur valuable suggestions. Please give me
more idea i would really thank to u !Which part is giving you troubles?
Oh - and change my suggestion to use setBinaryStream to a suggestion to use setAsciiStream, as I missed the part where you said "text file".
>
Can anybody tell me anyother way how to solv thid
problem
Depending on the size of the text file you could just read the file so you have the contents as a String and use setString (also in the PreparedStatement interface).
