Opening a file in web dynpro

I want to open up a document (either pdf, word or gif etc.) which is in binary format. I know I can attach that binary object to filedownload ui object and open it. But that will be an additional user click and I want to avoid that. So, I might need the exact functionality of filedownload ui element which can be used at runtime. Can anybody help.
Note: We are in Netweaver 2004, so can't use IWDResource object.
I GOT IT. I need to use IWDWebResource. Thanks.
MS.

check ServletContext.getResource documentation
it allows you to retrieve a file within your webapp directory

    How to call PDF file in Web Dynpro Appl?

    Hi Gobinath,
    1. Create a value attribute of type byte called pdfSource.
    2. Insert an UI element called Interactive Form in your layout
    3. Set the source property of this Interactive From UI element to the context pdfSource.
    4. Insert a button which would open your pdf file.

  • Upload file in Web Dynpro and add to Workflow container as SOFM object

    Hi!
    I have a Web Dynpro for ABAP application that should send attachments of uploaded files to a workflow container. I have already managed to do this, and it works fine for TXT files, but when I try to attach a WORD (.DOC) file the file looks corrput when I open it from the SAP inbox.
    When uploading files in Web Dynpro it is as an XSTRING. I have tried out the following alternatives regarding convertion of the XSTRING before it is inserted in the SOFM object:
    1) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4110.
    Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
    2) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4102
    Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
    3) Convert from XSTRING to BINARY format
    I use function module 'SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE'
    and then swf_create_object lr_sofm 'SOFM' ls_sofm_key.
    before I call some macros to fill the container.
    Anyone else who have tried to do this with success? I'm greatful for any help.
    Regards, Tine

    Hi,
    I had the same problem in the last days and finally I got a quite simple solution:
    I had a look at the FM SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE an noticed that it calls another FM (SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1) which has a tables parameter for HEX data and is actually able to  create a SOFM object from HEX data.
    I simply copied SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE as a customer FM and applied a few changes to make it accept HEX data:
    First I added a new table parameter in the interface which gets the HEX data from the calling application (uploaded data using BIN format):
    OBJECT_CONTENT_HEX     LIKE     SOLIX
    Here is the code of the FM (I marked all additional and changed lines with a comment):
    function z_test_sofm_create_with_table .

    The returned  SOFM key I added to a container element. The element refers to event parameter of type OBJ_RECORD in my ABAP OO Class
    Using this function I was able to raise an event by using Method cl_swf_evt_event=>raise
    that invoked a workitem containing an Excel-File i had uploaded as binary file and passed to the FM z_test_sofm_create_with_table as document type 'XLS'.
    In the woritem preview when clicking on the attachment the file was opened directly in Excel.
    Actually the new lines for calculation the file size is not yet quite correct. At first glance it does not seem to cause any trouble, but I will stll check that. In FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT the size is again checked and calculated if initial, so leaving size initial might also be an option.
    I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.

  • Editing application-j2ee-engine.xml file in Web Dynpro DC

    Hi Maksim. I understood that. It's just that I would prefer some method that doesn't require the developers to do something like extracting a file from the EAR file, changing the file and then putting it back in. As you probably know, some developers could handle it and some will most certainly make mistakes.
    When they do they come to my group and say "my app doesn't work" and then we have to spend time figuring out why.
    Plus, once the developers get used to doing things the automated way they're going to have a hard time remembering to do a manual step each time they do a build.
    I have heard that there may be some way to do something similar to this on Visual Administrator. I'm going to investigate that too.
    Thanks!

  • Error While uplaoding a EXCEL file in Web dynpro - HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING

    Hi,
        I am getting an error while uploading an excel file in web Dynpro application. i am using the HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING this function. I am getting the following error message 'Unable to interpret    as a number'.

    First of all, are you sure you know what you are working with here.  If this is standard Excel file in the Microsoft binary/propriatery format there is not function module or class in ABAP that can magically just transform this to a character string.  You should search the forums as this has been discussed extensively.  On that topic, please also do not post duplicate threads.  I have already locked your other thread with the same basic question.
    Instead of the binary/propriatery format of Excel, the file should be saved on the client as a text based format - like XML or Text Tab Delimited. You can then use several different options on the server to convert the XSTRING to STRING and process the content (becuase it was text based to begin with).  You could use CL_BCS_CONVERT, the function modules in the function group SCMS_CONV, or the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE.

  • Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

    Hi All,
    I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
    How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
    jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
    Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
              import java.io.File;
              import java.util.Date;
              import jxl.*;
             Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
    On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access  individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the  second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
              Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
    After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
    String a1 = a1.getContents();
    String b2 = b2.getContents();
    String c2 = c2.getContents();
    // perform operations on strings
    However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
      String a1 = null;
      Double b2 = 0;
      Date c2 = null;
                        Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                        Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                        Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                        if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                           LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                           stringa1 = lc.getString();
                         if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                           NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                           numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                          if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                            DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                            datec2 = dc.getDate();
                           // operate on dates and doubles
    It is recommended to, use the close()  method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.              
              // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
              workbook.close();
    The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.
    Regards

  • Reading contents of uploaded excel file in web dynpro java

    Hi All.
    I am aware how to provide facility to upload files in web dynpro java. But my requirement is that on uploading a particular file (for eg. an excel file having 10 columns), I need to read the contents of that file and store it in a table in R/3.Can anyone suggest a way how I can read the contents of the uploaded file?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Saurabh.

    Hi.
    I am having the following requirement : I have a FileUpload UI element where user clicks Browse button, selects a file from the local system and presses a Upload button. Upon pressing Upload, the name of the selected file and the contents of the file should be shown.
    In the View context, I have two value attributes: FileName of type String and FileResource of type binary.
    This is the code that I have in the Upload button action handler :
      public void onActionUpload(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionUpload(ServerEvent)
        IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(
                 IPrivateReadExcelView.IContextElement.FILE_RESOURCE);
        IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)attributeInfo.
                 getModifiableSimpleType();
        IPrivateReadExcelView.IContextElement element = wdContext.createContextElement();
        String fname = binaryType.getFileName();
        wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File selected - "+fname);  //Statement 1
         try {
              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Successful");    // Statement 2
              InputStream in = new FileInputStream(fname);
              HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(in);
              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Successful");    //Statement 3
              int sheetsNo = wb.getNumberOfSheets();
              for (int i=0;i<sheetsNo;i++) {
                   HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(i);
                   Iterator rowsNo = sheet.rowIterator();
                   while(rowsNo.hasNext()) {
                        HSSFRow rows = (HSSFRow)rowsNo.next();
                        Iterator colsNo = rows.cellIterator();
                        while(colsNo.hasNext()) {
                             HSSFCell cell = (HSSFCell)colsNo.next();
                             wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("File uploaded" +
                                  "successfully");
                             if(cell.getCellType()==1) {
                                  wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("00000"+
                                       cell.getStringCellValue());
                             else if(cell.getCellType()==0) {
                                  String str=""+cell.getNumericCellValue();
                                  wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("11111"+str);
         catch(Exception e) { wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
        //@@end
    On pressing Upload button, name of selected file is being shown(Statement 1). I am also getting Statement 2 in the output. However I am not getting Statement 3 onwards.
    Where am I going wrong? Can anyone shed some light on this?

  • How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

    Carolyn,

  • File Visibility in uploading the file using web DynPro java

    hello,
    i have gone through the tutorial " uploading & downloading the file using web DynPro java".
    the upload functionalty is working fine. but i need to know thw path where these files are getting uploaded ??
    Waiting for the reply..
    Regards,
    Viren Gupta

    Hi Viren,
    Are you are refering to the below tutorial for upload and download:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0e10426-77ca-2910-7eb5-d7d8982cb83f?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    If yes, then answer is that the file is stored in the context of the application only as "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielement-definitions.Resource" object. Please read through the tutorial to understand the full process.
    WD doesn't really upload to server automatically unless there is any explicit code written. All it does is to store the file in a temp context which you can access and write your own code to store it in a particular location.
