Open a local file in webdynpro

Hi All,
I am trying to open a file residing on user's desktop in webdynpro.
1. I have written a html page with javascript to open the file
window.location = 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/mkharoda/Desktop/Questions.txt';
This file opens up if I open it up in IE browser and opens the file specified in the path.
2. I added this html page in my mimes folder
3. Assigned this html page as a source to IFrame (Although its deprecated but I don't see any other option)
When I execute my WD Applicaiton, it shows a blank page in IFrame. The same html page works fine when opened directly in the IE.
Expecting quick help sdn.
Also, if you have an alternate solution to open a local file then please suggest me.
Regards,
Murtuza

Hi,
One thing you have to understand here is Webdynpro doesnot support java script.
So their is no way to do things at client side using the scripting.
What ever is possible is at the server side, when you say that the local file need to be read with out uploading to the server (FileuploadUI) looks a bit unrealistic with webdynpro.
I dont have idea about JSF integration to WD , if you can create Components that supports java script and then embed them using the JSF bridge might be of help in this scenario.
Other alternative could be a component in Flex (that too not sure)

How to open a local file from javascript in a jsp-page

Hi
I have created an iview from a PAR file. In the par file I have a jsp-page with some javascript code. From the javascript coe I want to open a new window with an Excel file.
I have tried window.open("c:
test.xls", "test_window"), but it doesn't seem to work. I have created a small HTML page locally with the same command and there a new window opens with the Excel file.
If I change the local file path with an URL it also works.
Any idea how to open a local file ?
Thanks
/Jakob

Jacob,
I'm not 100% (but 99,9%) and it has to do with security ristrictions of the browser not allowing to have local workstation interation from the web. This is ofcourse very dangerous if the browser would allow it... So therfore it is blocked. What if somone would point to a file/executable that formats your drive so for that reason it is not allowed to have web interaction with a local file. Only with Java Applets this is possible but still with many limitations, and what I remember Google Gears and Adobe Air do have some limited web 2 local file interaction... So best and most simple solution you are left with is pointing to a url instead of a file on a c:\ drive.
PS The reason why it works when you start the html from your local PC has todo with the fact that the browser detects that the html is not running in the web at that moment therefor allowing the access.
Cheers,
Benjamin Houttuin

Firefox crashes when opening a local file (a .jpg photo) click drive, click directory and it crashes.

Firefox crashes when clicking FILE / OPEN FILE / Drive (G:)/and when double clicking the directory containing the file. It happens every time I'm trying to open a local file. Must close, go to Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome which have no problems doing this.

You are running out of memory. In the stack notice this line:
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file and add this
AddVMOption -Xmx1024M
That will bump it up some.

Open a local file from a web Service

Hello!
Likely this is a trivial question, but I need to open a local file from a Web Service and i don't know how to get the file path. I mean that I have a WS source code placed in a proper package (my.ws.package) with an additional configuration XML file placed in the same directory. I need to read it, but if I use merely
File conf = new File("Conf.xml");it can't find it. I've tryed with:
MyWS.class.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath()in order to get the file path, but a
java.security.AccessControlException access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission getProtectionDomain)arises...
I don't know...
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Open a Local file from JSP

Hi All,
I want to access a local file from a JSP. On click of the link the local file should open. The location of the local file is
O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc
and the hyper link on the JSP shows
file:///O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc
somehow the file does not open from the JSP page but it opens from the browser if I type
'file:///O:/VWS00000000000000000001/REPORT_FRAGMENTS/Title1.doc' in the address bar.
Can anybody please help.
regards,
Shardul.

if you'd like to show the real path to the user, use simply an ftp server !
however, if you prefer a secure solution, so use a servlet:
example:
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class SendWord extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
    //get the 'file' parameter
    String fileName = (String) request.getParameter("file");
    if (fileName == null || fileName.equals(""))
      throw new ServletException(
          "Invalid or non-existent file parameter in SendWord servlet.");
    // add the .doc suffix if it doesn't already exist
    if (fileName.indexOf(".doc") == -1)
      fileName = fileName + ".doc";
    String wordDir = getServletContext().getInitParameter("word-dir");
    if (wordDir == null || wordDir.equals(""))
      throw new ServletException(
          "Invalid or non-existent wordDir context-param.");
    ServletOutputStream stream = null;
    BufferedInputStream buf = null;
    try {
      stream = response.getOutputStream();
      File doc = new File(wordDir + "/" + fileName);
      response.setContentType("application/msword");
      response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="
          + fileName);
      response.setContentLength((int) doc.length());
      FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(doc);
      buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
      int readBytes = 0;
      while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1)
        stream.write(readBytes);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      throw new ServletException(ioe.getMessage());
    } finally {
      if (stream != null)
        stream.close();
      if (buf != null)
        buf.close();
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
      throws ServletException, IOException {
    doGet(request, response);
}hope that helps

How do I stop Dreamweaver from updating the Test server copy of a file when I open the local file?

The subject says it all. Every time I open a file, Dreamweaver connects to the testing server and uploads the local file to the test server.
I want to stop this behaviour. It's annoying!

My testing server is IIS running on my local machine.
The "local" copy of the file is actually on a remote share. I have the test server copy open in Notepad++. The two files are identical save for on extra line in the copy on the testing server. When I open the "local" copy in Dreamweaver, it shows me that some file activity is being done, and then Notepad++ tells me the file has changed and do I want to reload it. If I do, that extra line vanishes.
When I check the file activity log, it shows that the file activity is complete.
I haven't mentioned the production server because it doesn't seem to be affected, but we do have one.

Is there a way to open a local file not a web file with actionscript 3.0?

Reason for asking is because I am making a media player in Adobe Flash CS6, and was wondering if there was anyway to make a button to open a local .fla file in a directory with ActionScript 3.0 or if there are any other ways I can achieve this?
Thanks Casey

with an air app, check the file class. otherwise, check the filereference class.

Opening a PDF File from WebDynpro

Hello Everyone,
I have a Webdynpro project and need to create a link on one of the views to display a .PDF document.
1. Where should I store the PDF document within the webdynpro project?
2. How do I open the PDF file?
I've created a link with action on the view and just need to know how to open it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can try one of the following methods:
Method 1:
1. Create a context attribute (say pdfsource) of type binary.
2. Create a file download control
3. Attach this attribute to the data property of file download control.
4. In the init method of the view or in some other method store the content of the pdf in the context attribute. And do the following code
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfSource");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
     binaryType.setFileName("Test.pdf");
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
5. Now on click of File Download link, it will ask for "Open", "Save", or "Cancel" dialog box. You can choose open to open as a pdf document.
Method 2:
1. Write an action on click of the button or so.
2. In that action get the contents and store it in an byte array and open the pdf file directly as follows.
     byte[] PDFbytes = <source string>.getBytes();
     if(PDFbytes!= null) {                                IWDCachedWebResource pdffile= WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(                    PDFbytes ,                                 WDWebResourceType.PDF,                            WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,               wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),
                "Some Title");                             wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(pdffile.getURL(), "Some PDF").open();
Thanks and regards

How do I open a local file on the computer?

I use FF 25.0.1 to log onto my EMC VNX5300 JAVA console so that I can administer the SAN. One of the functions is to create reports on the SAN usage. The SAN console writes the files to the local computer and uses the browser to open and display the file. Here's the address bar of one of my reports:
file:///C:/Users/MyName/emc/Unisphere/Reports/7.32.2.0.36/ArrayConfig.html?xml=file%3A///C%3A%5CUsers%5Cjmilano%5Cemc%5CUnisphere%5CReports%5CFCN00131500068_UMReport_12-17-2013_15-58-21.xml

The report should be a formatted table of data but instead I get a blank window within my tab. If I run the report in IE, it works OK. It looks something like this:

Great that it is now working.
For anyone interested in the slow startup aspect: <br />
The slow strartup may have a number of causes. One potential method of helping is to reset Firefox, and that does remove Firefox extensions. See

Open a Local File located in a Web Dynpro Project

Hi, I'm trying to open a file saved in a new folder called (XSLT) created by me in a web dynpro project.
When I try to do this, the following exception is thrown:
...java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:\usr\sap\DEP\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\XSLT\sad.xsl (The system cannot find the path specified)....
The code that tries to load the file is the next:
Document xslDoc = dBuilder.parse("XSLT/sad.xsl");
My Question is: what should be the file path that I should use in order to be able to open a file that is saved into a folder inside my Web Dynpro Project, of course, using a relative path...
Any ideas???

Felipe,
Classes from custom folders are not included in build.
You may place "xslt" under src/packages and acces them via ClassLoader, i.e.
Document xslDoc = dBuilder.parse
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("xslt/sad.xsl")

How can I get firefox to open a local file on Windows 8.1via File:open?

I am trying to open a file from the desktop for viewing as a webpage. It is edited in MS Word. When I open the file it just shows the the text of the file, which is html code, it does not run the file as a webpage. How do I get the file to run as a webpage? Thank you.

Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
That should be sufficient.
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

Can't open local files.

I cannot open any local files or folders in Firefox.
I have tried opening the following file types in Firefox: htm, html, txt, pdf, xpi.
I have tried opening files in the following ways:
-Drag drop onto Firefox from windows explorer
-Right click file in windows explorer and open with Firefox
-Double click files that would be opened in Firefox by default
-"Open file" from Firefox file menu
I have experienced this problem in Firefox 3.x and Firefox 4.0. When I try to open a file in Firefox it creates a new tab with the file's path in the address bar but the file does not open.
Any idea what could be going wrong?
thanks
Rob

You may have an extension (NoScript?) that blocks access to local files.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
