Kindly help me out with this.

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.

Opening a PDF file from a swing application in MAC

HI everyone,
Actually I am developing a swing application which should be executable in both windows and Mac (even other) platformes. In my panel I have an icon which leads to a pdf file. I saw in the following thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=17&threadID=617767
that we can use
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + file);to open what ever file in windows. I want to know what should I do if this application is running on Mac or Linux! I have never worked with these OS so I do not have any idea how to resolve the problem.
Can anyone help me with this matter?? That would be really nice of you to reply :)
Thanx and have a great day.

Thank you for replaying so soon..
Well you are right by using a widget and etc.. but the problem is that I have been told that this application should open a PDF file that has bookmarks to each chapter of the text and one can make a search on this text by using pdf search.. So I do not have any other choice than opening a pdf :D and my time is unfortunately limit.
For solving the problem that the user may not have PDF reader.. well I have been told that user should install the pdf reader, so in my application package I am putting the installation file of PDF.
But going back to my problem.. I guess is someway I have to get the OS type of the user and I have to do a SWITCH or something on the OS type and then change the content of the Runtime.exec(). But the question is how can I get the OS type and what should I change in Runtime.exec().
So now any idea? any solution??

Writing to and Opening a Text File from an Apex Application

Hi there
I would like to open a text document from apex.
I have a screen with various parameters. Based on what the user selects, the result must open a text document with the parameters and other text.
Does anyone know a good way to do this?

NorahUnless you start a Java widget, I do not believe you can modify a file on the local users machine through the browser. Now if the file is on the server you are running from, this can be done.

Accessing files from custom web application

I have created a JSP application using UIX components that you can search for files within in IFS. After searching for the files I want the user to click a link and access the document, much like the webui interface in the out of the box IFS. I'm able display the list of files found but I'm not able to allow the user to click the in MY APPLICATION to see the files. What would be the url to access these files that are stored in IFS. PLEASE HELP.

Can you suggest me any solution if you have found?

Prompt for downloadig a PPT-File from KM

Hi,
we´re using Netweaver 2004 with Stack 18.
When I try to opend a PPT-File (Office 2000 and 2003) direct from the portal, I get a prompt for download or open the file.
How can I open a PPT-File from the portal without this prompt ?
Thx for help !
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
(a) You must have the MS Office plugin working within IE (do you have? Does opening other PPT over the internet within IE work?)
(b) The HTTP response delivering the PPT must provide the "right" content-type. You didn't write from where you download the PPT. From KM? From an self-developed application? To determin the correct content-type HTTP header, see (a) (where it works on the internet), check the content-type there. And if you have any influence to set the content-type header of the download in question, set it to the same value.
Hope it helps

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Plug-in PDF, Internet Explorer, unable to open a pdf file from web site. Question mark

Hello,
A computer where Acrobat 9 Standard and Acrobat Reader 9 have been installed.
When I try to read a pdf file from a web site and read it in IE, I get a popup whith a question mark and no text.
The pdf file is not open.
I have try to reinstall the last reader but the problem is not solved.
Thanks for your help.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Try using Protected Mode Off. Then you will be at the same level of security that those other programs are running at. You could also try elevating the iexplore.exe task. That would turn off Protected Mode in that task automatically but then
you would be running also with Administrator level authority which might be excessive.

Timecapsule - opening files from within an application!!

I have a time capsule... 500Mb
I have an airport extreme with external hard drive - 250 Mb.
Through Finder, I can place files on either of these drives and open them from Finder.
If I open Numbers, or Pages, then try to open any file on Timecapsule, it appears that there are no files
If I open Number, or Pages, then try to open any file on the Airport Extreme external disk - it works!
Simple question really.... why cannot I see or open any file from within an application that resides on Timecapsule?? It's driving me crazy!!!

File dialogs have the ability to "group" items, which prohibits you from changing sort options. The group icon looks like six little squares. Click on it and instead of grouping by date, group by "none" and then you can change sort orders.

How to open an PDF file from Java Application

Hi
I am developing a GUI application in java swing.
on clicking one button, I want to open PDF file from my swing application.
Is there any API through which I can achieve this?

Here's a way to do it (if I understand you
correctly). Just let explorer.exe do it for you.
import java.awt.*;
public class openPDF
     Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
     public openPDF()
          open("test.pdf");
     public void open(String path)
          try
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer.exe "+path);
} catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("NAI!
I! ERROR!\n"+e); }
     public static void main(String[] args)
          openPDF myApplication = new openPDF();
Why do you have a Desktop object as a member but instead of using it, you execute a command with Runtime (which is not platform independent!)???
