Open a file using URL

In my data base I have a field called AgendaDocument. The
values of this field are just the document name (like JulyAgenda)
with no file extension. Most of these are pdf. I want the user to
click a dynamically created link to open the document. Please help
- see code
thanks

From Rockhiker's first post, it looks like the filename is
stored in the database without a file extension. Just to clarify,
do you have the full filename (with file extension) stored in your
database? If not, there are solutions, but I would definitely
recommend adding a field for file type to your application.
If you don't have the file extension of the file, but know it
is one of only a handful of file types, you can use the
fileExists() method to determine the correct filetype:
<cfif FileExists("C:\Some\Directory\#myFile#.pdf")>
<cfset sFullFileName = "#myFile#.pdf">
<cfelseif FileExists("C:\Some\Directory\#myFile#.doc")>
<cfset sFullFileName = "#myFile#.doc">
Otherwise, you could leverage <cfdirectory> to get a
list of all your files in a query format and then compare your
filename against the values in the directory.

Hi Ankur,
I had something link this requirement, that also for a concurrent program output only, but the output was txt file, and make it a zip file and give a dynamic link and open it.
For that i used the following code, may be it will help.
String zipout = pageContext.getParameter("ZIPOUT");
if(zipout!=null && zipout.equals("Y"))
try
DataObject sessionDictionary = (DataObject) pageContext.getNamedDataObject("_SessionParameters");
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletResponse");
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletRequest");
String requestID = pageContext.getParameter("REQUESTID");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","p; filename=CatExtract"+requestID+".zip");
response.setContentType("application/x-zip-compressed");
ZipOutputStream zip = new ZipOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
try
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
//to get the value of output directory
String fileName = "/o"+requestID+".out";
Serializable[] parameters = { requestID };
//Get the output URL for this requests output.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("getOutputURL", parameters);
String outputURL = (String)pageContext.getTransactionValue("OutputURL");
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"outputURL in the xxt CO"+outputURL,1);
try
URL fileURL = new URL(outputURL);
URLConnection urlConn = fileURL.openConnection();
DataInputStream out = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
try
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zip.putNextEntry(entry);
while ((bytesRead = out.read(buffer)) != -1)
zip.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
zip.closeEntry();
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(entry.getName(), " added.",1);
catch (Exception ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 113"+ex,1);
finally
out.close();
catch (IOException ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 124"+ex,1);
System.out.println("Exception 124 "+ex);
Thanks.

Hi pjustin1,
you must use the policytool.exe given with JDK 1.2.x (or more).
and with this tool you must add a permission on file (FilePermission) you want to access.

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You are in the wrong forum; You actually need Photoshop forum at this link:

Hi Octopus,
Based on the error message, it seems that the Visio Graphics Service is not started or the Enterprise feature is not enabled.
I recommend to check the things below:
Go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > check if the Visio Graphics Service is started > then click Application Management > Manage service applications > check if the Visio Graphics Service application
is created.
Go to the root site settings page of the site where you got this error, click Site collection features to check if the SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features is enabled.

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.

Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
Private Sub Form_Click()
'checks for valid msds document
Dim fs As FileSearch
Dim stAppName As String
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
             .NewSearch
            .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
            .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
            .MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                    stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                      Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
           End If
                 End With
exit sub
Err_form_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
         Resume Exit_form_Click
Exit_form_Click:
        MsgBox " no file found."
End Sub
This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.

Opening a file using Webutil_Host.Host Command

Opening External Files using SWF

Hi all,
Is there a way to open external files using swf? I have gone
through a number of forums and all seem to tell me to open with a
window projector. my problem is, I need to embed the swf into a
html to be viewed online... So I need to do it in swf format.
Any ideas?

When you say 'external files' I presume you mean local files
on the users hard drive.
If that's true:
When you say 'open' what do you mean? It could mean to open
and load a text file/xml file or another swf in flash or it could
mean to launch a document in its native application e.g. .doc
launches word etc. Flash projectors can do the first thing, but not
the second thing. And you need to know the path of the file because
I don't believe you can retreive it from the filereference browsing
support. 3rd party tools are necessary to really add a lot of file
system support to projector applications, and then you can do both
things mentioned here, without the limitations of flash player
security which is only slightly reduced with regular projector
files.
The filereference class in flash is primarily for
upload/download support. You can't 'open' local files with it.
There is, to my current knowledge, no way you can do that with
flash in a html page directly.
The only way I can think that it might be possible (untested)
would be to have a separate local MS Office (or any other host for
a flash activex that gives filesystem access) with some embedded
flash in a document that (perhaps) could talk via local connection
with your html page content and which would in turn talk to its VBA
host to request local file system activity. I don't know if this
would work because I've not used localconnection, but perhaps it
might.

Flash Actionscript to Open a FILE not URL

i think the user "system" is used to connect to the shared folder on the other system.
this will not work.
you may configure the OracleAScontrol-Service to logon with an user-account exists on both machines.

Two different methods for downloading a file using URL...

I was just wondering if someone could shed some light on whether I should be downloading files using java.net.URL or java.net.URLConnection
Here are two ways that I have found to work (and yes I realize that one is outputting to a stream and the other is getting put into a StringBuffer):
      InputStream in = url.openStream();
      byte[] b = new byte[buffSize];
      fileOutStream = new FileOutputStream(fileToBeCreated);
      while ((bytesRead = in.read(b)) != -1){
        totalFileSize+=bytesRead;
        fileOutStream.write(b, 0, bytesRead);
      }and
      URLConnection _con = url.openConnection();
      in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(_con.getInputStream()));
      String inputLine;
      while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
          webPageStringBuff.append(inputLine+"\r\n");
      }In both of the above cases url is just a URL object that has already been instantiated with a valid URL.
So, just to re-iterate, I realize that the output portion of this code is doing something different (i.e. writing to a stream as opposed to appending to a StringBuffer) but I would like to know whether there is any reason to choose using the URLConnection to get the stream as opposed to using the URL to get the stream.
Thanks,
Tim
