Managing Resource Files

I am having problems having classes in a jar file ( same package ) access a file that is outside of
the jar file but still in the same directory as the jar file. If I run the application from the
command line while in the same directory, it works perfectly. If I change to a different directory
and run the application, it throws an IOException - (The system cannot find the file specified).
How would I resolve this? Does the application need to first determine the directory that the jar
file is in and then access files relative to that? Or is there a simpler solution?
Thank You,
John A Gooch

If you don't want to specify the full path to the file, and you don't want to require that the file be in the current working directory, that doesn't leave you much choice. You have to specify that the file be in the classpath (make sure the classpath includes the directory it's in) and access it like this:InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + filename);followed by reading from the input stream.

How to add resource files to a new folder to a project in JDeveloper 11g

Currently, new folder can only be created when creating an item within JDeveloper via setting the destination folder.
I have some resource files that are binary files and created outside JDeveloper.
How can I add those resource files to a specific folder under an existing project so that we can do versioning control on those files using SVN within JDeveloper?
Or I have to manage the versioning control of those files outside JDeveloper?

Go to project properties - >Project content - > resources and add the directory.

How come all these methods are deprecated...getEP5User
Also, since I am building a weddynpro DC, what is the proper way to include these jar files as Used DCs?
Now proceed in the same way with the variable PORTAL_HOME and add the following .jar files:

Error message "cannot open resource file" ID CS6

CS6 InDesign, getting error message "cannot find resource file" Tried deleting prefs but didn't work.

I'm sorry. I'm running OS 10.7.5 and had previous error messages about several plugins not loading due to color panel missing. Deleted prefs, added color panel back with Manage Extensions then got the "cannot open resource file" error. I know the error message above is different and I thought I had fixed it but somehow it didn't change when I updated my post. I also have a couple of old versions of CS on my computer and I don't know if I should uninstall those or if it doesn't matter. I don't know how to do that, either. I'm not very computer literate so every problem is difficult for me. Thank you.

"Cannot open resource file" when InDesign CS6 starts.

I have an Intel Mac Pro running OS/X Snow Leopard.
When I open InDesign CS6 I get an error "Cannot open resource file", but there is no indication of what file it can't open.
When I click OK in the dialog box, InDesign opens and appears to be working.
I am concerned that this may cause a problem as I continue to use it.
Is there any way I can correct this issue?
I also have InDesign CS5.5 installed on the same Mac and it runs fine with no resource error.

I tried uninstalling InDesign, once I figured out how to do that with Creative Cloud that is (it's not an option in the Adobe Application Manager - which I think it should be).
Anyway, after uninstalling and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I also tried Peter's suggestion to remove the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData and have them recreated but that didn't work either. I even tried the cmd-ctrl-opt-shift method to delete the preference files and still I get the "Cannot open resource file" error.
I thought that it was just a glitch since if I click "OK" in the dialogue box InDesign seems to open fine and then even let me open up a document that I had been working on in InDesign CS5.5.
But ....
Even though the document opened fine, as soon as I click on a text field, any text field, InDesign crashes.
I tried three different documents and it does the same thing.
It didn't crash when I selected a graphic or an embedded pdf but it does as soon as I click on any text field.
Does that help narrow down what the resource file error is?
By the way, I can open InDesign CS5.5 just fine (same computer) with no resource file error and it does not crash when I select a text field, so the issue seems to be strictly with CS6.

Servlet, Websphere Portal 5.1, Web Content Management and files

Hi everybody,
I created some contents in WCM and I need to store some files with them.
Actually, I have an authoring template, with a text field containing the DocumentId of a LibraryFileComponent.
Manipulating a content, I'm able to get the DocumentId of the LibraryFileComponent. With this DocumentId, I'm able to get the data (a byte array) and the file name.
But I'm not able to get an URL to this component or to display the file on the screen (if it's an image for example)
I tried this kind of thing
Map parametermap = new HashMap();
RenderingContext context = workspace.createRenderingContext(request, response, parametermap);
context.setWcmServletPath("/connect"); // from PortalServer/wcm/config/aptrixjpe.properties - wcm.servlet.path
context.setWcmWebAppPath("/wps/wcm"); // from PortalServer/wcm/config/aptrixjpe.properties - wcm.context.path
context.setRenderedContent(myFile);
System.err.println("ws.generateURL(context, fichier) : "+ws.generateURL(context, myFile));
System.err.println("ws.render(context) : "+ws.render(context));And I get this :
for generateURL : a bad URL with "null" in the middle of it
for render : File Not Found
I don't manage to get something better.
So I want to do another way.
As the real files are hidden, but not their data, when I use the method
JavaDoc wrote: getFile()
Returns the contents of the file contained within this component as a byte array.
I obtain a byte[] containing the data... That's what I want to use.
Method :
Open a new navigator window
put the good headers
put the data
That's what the page, which url is obtained by the render method, do. And that's what I want to reproduce
So I did this
public class GenereFileOneAction extends Action {
   public ActionForward execute

   }But the result is not the one I want.
Here is my log
genereFile(com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_LibraryImageComponent@71373fd7, com.ibm.wps.struts.base.WpsStrutsPortletResponseWrapper@2a9ffd6)
file!=null

response=com.ibm.wps.struts.base.WpsStrutsPortletResponseWrapper@2a9ffd6, os = null, data=[B@b26ffd0, extension=jpg, contentType=image/jpeg[/i]
My questions are :
- does any one knows why response.getOutputStream (either response.getWriter) returns null
- when I click on a link to the action, the page on the screen is the last (just where I come from) but the Struts JavaDoc says about the execute methode
Process the specified HTTP request, and create the corresponding HTTP response (or forward to another web component that will create it), with provision for handling exceptions thrown by the business logic. Return an ActionForward instance describing where and how control should be forwarded, or null if the response has already been completed.
So do you think I might have a return in my genereFile methods ?
Thank you

I did as you suggested and removed the content from the web.xml file. The portlet installed and I was able to put it on a page, but it says the portlet is unavailable inside the portlet window on the portal page and here is the error from the log file

Executable version does not match resource file

Hi everybody
I have built and application and installer, using LabVIEW 7.1
The application runs correctly, but when I install it on the PC (the same that correctly runs the application). The following message is shown: "executable version(7.1.1) doesn't match resource file (7.1). Check your configuration". How can I change this configuration and solve the problem??
Thanks in advance

I haven't found the way to "change configuration", but I have managed to get it work. I will explain it, because perhaps somebody needs it sometime...
The other day I installed LabVIEW RTE 7.1.1, and I have included when building the installer the LabVIEW RTE (in settings). This way, the application shows the error I mentioned previously.
Now, I have rebuilt the application and installer without including the LabVIEW RTE and everything works OK.

Archiving with EOS, need to configure the resource files

We are using RSD EOS for archiving. Now we got a request from a client to configure resource files for some of his new spools.
If anyone is still using this product, need help on the resource file configuration.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Can I manage resource designates via the command line?

I would like to manage resource designates via the command line and
the "unires" command does not seem to have this function. Could I use
"uniadmrights"?
# uniadmrights -e -add -resrc -n 10000
 
-e modify user rights, search filter
 
-add set user right on (-e only, default)
 
-resrc resource administration

The uniadmrights command is not able to assign designate rights. You can assign
rights such as the ability to create and manage public and administration
groups. The "Resource administration" flag exists so far only on the
server side, and it is currently not used by the client. This is for future use.

There are two ways to assign a designate to a resource:
<ol>
<LI>Log on as the resource via the client. There are only a few commands
available, one of them being the "Access Rights".

<LI>On the server side:

Edit the /users/unison/misc/resource.ini
file and create a new section to specify the resource designate.

[DES]
Designate0 = S=Lastname/G=Firstname

Run the unires command as follows:

% unires -mod "R=resourcename" -s DES 10000
[sysOpPsw]
</OL>

Note: The full resource name should be used eg. "R=Resource/N=1/CA=2/ID=2
57"

This sounds like a job for wget . You'll have to build and run it on Unix or Cygwin.
You could also build a test suite to do this in various testing tools. You could even write a short Perl or Groovy script to do this, or a slightly longer Java class.

Open module for managing property file and environment variables

Looking for an open module for managing property files and environment variables (like CLASSPATH) set in a shell script. For handeling properties (preserving comments, supporting includes, appending new entries, and more) I have looked at SuperProperties from openadaptor but find certain functionality lacking. As for interfacing with common shell scripts/files containing setting for CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, other system/application variables another type of object editor is needed. Maybe JFIG?
Any ideas are greatly welcomed.

You seem wright, you hit a brick wall here with Air to find the location
of the command console on windows...
So in fact I never build an exe tool, but this little problem was a nice
case to test it and I tried it.:
I downloaded monodevelop
-GTK# for .NET 2.12.10*
-MonoDevelop 2.4.2*
from http://monodevelop.com/Download
created a console project and had an exe in 5 minutes !
You can download the findconsole tool and the projectfiles here:
http://greencollective.nl/temp/dump/findconsole_monoproject.zip
findconsole.exe will reveal the path/location of cmd.exe on a windows system.

Not able eto publish theme - resource file does not exist

Hi Guys!
I try to publish a service to standalone ITS.. When I publish service, it is ok, but when I try to publish Theme 99, I get an error:
Ressource file ws01000109 99 does not exist
How can I get this resource file?
What to do to be able to publish it?
Thanx a lot!

Hello Peter,
Maybe a resource file does not exist for ws01000109. Have you tried to display the file? You can do so by double clicking on the 99 in the left side tree.

ITunes 11 - I can't manually manage my files. Is there a work around? I have manually manage clicked. I win7 32. It worked after awhile after updating then it just stopped. I have reinstalled 11 but the same issue ocurred!

Sorry this is the 1st time and I don't know what to do. I have lost the ability to manually manage my music/video files. After upgrading it worked for a few days as I was adding music to my phone. After 2 days, I couldn't anymore. I have windows 7 ultimate 32, iTunes 11, and iPhone 4 on 6.0.1. With the iPhone connected, under the summary page, manually manger is clicked. iTunes Match is off in iTunes and on phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Copied my media back into the media folder. I have also done a factory reset and restored from back up and still can't add music manually. All my music is stored on an external be aide the media folder is in the primary hard drive. I can try adding to the iTunes library and add that way without manually adding each song but I feel that defeats the purpose. I'm in contact with individual DJs that make their own music and yes it is sold intubes and that was never the issue before. I will do a factory reset on the phone, so a clean install of 11 again and just add my apps back but I don't know what else to do. Also, I am only using one computer to manage my files and it is the only computer authorized for my phone. There is no other computer! I am open to any ideas.
Thank you in advance
Caliph3001. - krusade.net

Update:
I mean that the dj's create their own music and the music isn't sold in iTunes. Also, I have done the factory reset clean, installation of Itunes 11 (*lost all of my apps - yeah the back up i have didn't have all the apps or they are read as apps but said that they are missing - redownloading them now the ones that can be retrieved now) and it still gives me the black "no" arrow when trying to drag and drop - but I have figured that I would just copy the files into the main library, but it defeats the purpose of having an external with all my files. Is there away to get iTunes to recognize my hd as the library? A new issue developed, it kept saying that it was connected to another library and to connect it would have to erase everything on the phone so I agreed. And it seems to be fine now besides the copy and paste. I have added a few more issues that risen since this began below.
A few more questions:
After a clean installation: I have lost most of the paid apps. Does Itunes back up a history or was it stricly on my computer? Some of these were paid apps and I dont want to have to purchase them again. There should be something connected to your name within the store account that stores all the purcchase you have made and allow you to redownload them as in the playstation network. Also, how do people retrieve lost apps if the only back up was on their computer that crashed? Is there any to get Itunes to recognize my external HD as a library of my music?

HT1597 How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers po

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

Ideas of how to manage voice files on iPod

This might be a wierd one ... I bought an iPod on Satuday, really happy with it! But aside from having all my music there was was 1 other main purpose.
I'm a medical student and record all my lecture notes so I can listen back to them to help me learn it all. I travel a lot and it would be a great way to multi task and listen to lecture notes on the move. However there are loads of lectures and loads of notes so I'd really have to categorise them otherwise it will all get very confusing.
I asked 3 separate assistants in the iPod shop about folders and subfolders, they all said that I can create folders and subfolders and subfolders in subfolders in itunes and transfer them across to my iPod ...... great! Exactly what I wanted. Got home, and haven't worked out how to do it - searched online and still no luck and read in a few places that I cant even do it!
Here's what I want to be able to do, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Will have folders like the following:
Neuro -> Eye -> about 10-20 voice recordings
Neuro -> Anatomy -> Neck -> about 5-10 voice recordings
Neuro -> Anatomy -> Face -> about 5-10 voice recordings
Muscles -> Anatomy -> chap 1
Muscles -> Anatomy -> chap 2
Muslces -> antomy -> chap3 .... etc
Mucles -> physiology ....
etc
anyway, you get the idea. Probably need about 3 levels of folders.
Also, I also asked one guy if I was able to add folders to the very first menu screen you get (the one with music,photos,videos etc) ideally I would want to have folders for my modules (neuro, muslces etc) there and then the subfolders leading off from it...
Big question: is this possible? and if so, how?
If not - anyone got any ideas on how I can manage the files without having a huge long list? Or using the iPod efficiently for what I want to do.
Also - I do want to have my music files on it as well (although for me its a secondary function) - it would be nice to keep the music and the audio files separate ..
Any help would be great. Thanks

anyone have any ideas about this?

Problem in reading a resource file form JAR
