Need to put contents of a file stored in FileContents into a ByteBuffer

As the title says. Can't find anything that shows how to accomplish the goal. Have a file stored in FileContents. Need to get the file's contents into a ByteBuffer. Any ideas how I can go about doing that?
Thanks

That's all the spoon feeding I needed. Minus the DataInputStream, I was dead on with my final "guess" before the previous reply. DataInputStream was what i needed to complete the puzzle. Here's the final code (simple enough):
int length = new Long(fileContents.getLength()).intValue();
byte bytes[] = new byte[length];
InputStream file = fileContents.getInputStream();
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(file);
dis.readFully(bytes);
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes);
Thanks for the spoon feeding.

Hi,
you can try to use the:
ConsumerTreeListPreview
layout for KM navigation ivew (or customize to your own).
This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.
Hope this helps,
Romano

You may be able to do something with Oracle Text. The following shows how to get an HTML rendiditon of a binary document. I think you can also get plain text instead of HTML

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() + " ");
%>
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.

How to extract the contents of ZIP file stored in oracle database column ?

The file is in ZIP format and it is stored in BLOB databse column . The contents of file is in binary format .
How to extract those contents from file and thus creating the same ZIP file as output in ODI ?
Thanks
Arun

Perhaps you can something like what is described in the support note "How To Load A PDF File Or Other Binary Files To a BLOB Column From ODI (Doc ID 1412753.1)"

PC died. Need to put contents of ipod on new PC

I had a PC laptop that my ipod classic was synced to. That laptop died and is not available.My ipod classic is fine but i need to transfer all its content to another PC so I can sync new content, (not purchased through itunes). Normally I transfer educational CD's to my ipod.

You cannot transfer song (and other content) files from iPod to the computer's iTunes library (except for media purchased from the iTunes Store). iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from the computer's iTunes library to iPod. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.

Would you put XML and HTML files stored in the database as files?

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML file somewhere for future reference. However I also have to store when it was registered and so on.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would just store the path where it is deployed?
Regards,
Sim085

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I
will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML
file somewhere for future reference. However I also
have to store when it was registered and so on. So the XML won't be changing unless the registration date is updated?
A file modification time could give you the same effect.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would
just store the path where it is deployed?I'd favor the latter for the sake of an argument.
If you put it in the database, you wouldn't be able to query for the XML except by ID or registration date. Not much point in having it there.

Read a bfile and write its contents in a file stored in my hard disk

I will try to describe my problem as clearly as I can.
I have created a table that includes a LOB column "BFILE"
Then I'm trying to READ the BFILE stored in our database using the
DBMS_LOB package.
so far so good.
Now I want to write these data that I have read in the step above in a file
saved in my local disk. The problem is, since the file in databse is
stored as binary and I read Raw Data , I cannot create an exact copy of this
file. It seems that It doesn't write the RAW data in the binary format.
I have used the DBMS_LOB.READ to read the data and it works fine.
Now I want to create a file in my local disk and dump the data that I have
read from the BFILE that has been initially stored in the database.
Is there any solution to this problem?
I hope to hear from you soon
Thanks in advance

ignore me now.... I answered my own question a short while
ago.
for anyone who cares....
I used CFHTTP to get the page and then used a cffile to write
the #cfhttp.filecontent# into the new file!

Need to search contents of text files on a windows network drive....

I am trying to search the content of a directory on a windows network drive for that contains .sas files (essentially text files) for a certain text string. Find does not seem to do this. Any ideas/suggestions?
When I copy a file to my desktop I can do it easily, but that is not an option.

Uh yeah....in my opinion GREATLY affects Apple's claim to windows compatibility......unless there is a solution out there. My firm is windows-based and we have a terabyte or so of data and files related to various stuff all buried in subfolders..and all I want is to search one folder for one text string.
I'm praying for a solution here.....

Need help on which adobe download needed to view content in pdf file

I needhelp deciding on which adobe download need to view pdf file

Go to the download page here ---> Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Be sure that it shows your OS to get the proper download. Also, you want to deselect the "Optional" offer that is selected by default unless you want it of course.

I need a process to transfer my files in the WWV_FLOW_FILES into

Read the content of a file attached to a document

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the content of the file attached to the document and send in the body of the email. The original get stored in the KPRO server. Can anyone suggest how can i read the content of the file stored in the KPRO server. HTTp is used to save the file in KPRO server.
thanks
Papiya

Dear Papiya,
if I got your problem correctly you are looking for some report to get the originals files from the content server and then send it via e-mail?
In this case the report DMS_KPRO_READ may be useful for you. You can start this report in transaction SE38. You just need to enter the document data and then all attached originals will be listed with the corresponding PHIO- and LOIO-ID. Further there is also a small grenn download button to get this file on your PC.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for useful information.

please tell me how and where to use it..How? -- See the IO Tutorials on Sun for the FileReader (and I assume you know how to call setText and append in the JTextArea).
Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.
Give it a try.
