Opening HTML file from java GUI

Can someone please tell me how I can open a HTML file in Internet Explorer from a Java GUI,
I have an asssignment I am doing for college and I was toying with the idea of putting in helpfiles, for the program, can anyone tell me the easiest way of apcomplishing this???
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kaspah

Although this should answer your question, there are other (cross platform) ways to do what you want. As opposed to your "must have internet explorer" solution. Swing has a built in html viewer you might use, for example. I've been doing some reading on java/xml solutions. I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough (yet) to comment on that solution though. A delimited text file would be another solution. Useing that solution you could treat the file like a set of parrallel arrays on the hard drive and disply your text on pre-formated labels. Anyway, here is a link to you answer......

Write HTML Files from java application

Hello,
i have to write HTML files from a java application.
I am asking if anybody can give me a hint about a good simple solution (library) which can do some of the job for me.
i know FOP for example is good to create pdf or html from xml, but i dont want to go via xml.
the sites i need are really very simple presents emails.
body and maybe a link for next and pervious.
however, thank you in advance.
a little hint will also help :)
Sako.

That, too, is my question.
Be the "server" local or remote, wouldn't JSPs still
be the easier solution? No. it will not. because you need a server. Server for a stand alone application is not esier. according to who said JSPs are easy?
Its very very difficult.
>
When answering, please clarify. I'm a bit of a newbie
here. :)To get sence about how hard is JSP, check Struts. this is very good open source Framework to simplify the JSPs. but it still complecated enough.
or Tapestry my lovely open srouce Framework.
its easier than Struts. but sill complecated because of the documentation.
All in all, using JSP is the purpose of Java in the internet. but not for me. My application will not be available in the internet, i.e. no server, i.e. no need for JSP.
i hope that helps a little.

Can't open HTML files from local or remote location

Hello Experts,
I've tried deleting my remote location, and adding it back
again several times and I still can't open any HTML files. I can
check out the pages, and check them back in, but nothing shows up
on the screen. Does anyone know what may be causing this? I'd
really like to update my website soon. If I click on the web images
they open up in my photoshop, it's just the Dreamweaver HTML
portions that won't open up.
Thank you,
Calie

> Unfortunately I can't seem to get any of the pages open
to check out the code
> view.
CLARIFY please.
You said you open them, but design view is blank.
The file is either open or not open
Is the file open? And design view is blank? Or is the file
NOT open and
there are error messages?
If the is open, even if empty design view There should be
something in code
view.
some not random attempts at fixing this:
open dreamweaver.
Open this site.
DON'T open any files.
open find and replace
Find in Source Code, sitewide:

replace with: [nothing]
reason: not much of one, but I've never seen an empty html
comment. It
doesn't need to be there.
Then, i'm trying to think of a way to fix this badly nested
bold tag

<a href="about-me.html">ABOUT ME</a> |
<a href="contact.html">CONTACT</a> |
<a
href="
http://blog.loveBaRKLee.com/">BLOG</a>

the closing needs to be moved to before the
closing paragraph tag.
My next guess is that it's a css problem-

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lovebarklee.com&charset=%

Fix the errors, clarify if the file does or doesn't open in
dreamweaver, if
it opens and design view is blank or if it doesn't open and
crashes the app.

Opening .doc files from Java

Ok, here's my problem.
I'm using Java to create an autorun program for a little thing I'm putting together.
One of the options should be "Read documentation" . However, to do that, I need to make my program open a Microsoft Word (.doc) document. What is the command/how can I do this? By open, I mean open the file in MS Word for viewing.

When you say "where filename is the path" do you mean
type in "\documentation\file.doc" or is it a variable?It's a variable in the example. It doesn't matter -- just as long as the resulting string passed to exec will contain the correct file name so the OS will see it.

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?
Tapan Maru
Sun Certified Java Programmer

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!)???

When i open any .HTML file from my computer it is not opening in firefox. Only a blank New Window Opens. Facing this problem since the firefox has updated.

Whenever i try to open any HTML file from my computer, it opens a new firefox window which is blank. Facing this problem after the new update. please fix this problem

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

How to open a file from thumbdrive by Java!

Can anyone reply me the Java sample code to open a file from thumbdrive. Currently I can only open files from my "C"Drive. The Drive which I will be using for my thumbdrive is F Drive.
Thank you!

Currently I need to make changes to this code so that it can read the "my file" from my f drive instead of the c drive.
/public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.doc");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start \"myfile.doc\"");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.pps");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.xls");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start myfile.pdf");
//Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myfile.doc");
catch (Exception x) {
x.printStackTrace();
catch (Error e) {
e.printStackTrace();

When I open an html file from the desktop all I see is source code rather than webpage.

I have tried clearing the cache and reading other questions similar. I have a mac and am opening these files from the desktop, not a server or anything so It's incredibly annoying that firefox wont open them as html files even though that is what they are saved as. Also there is no .txt after them. They are purely .html files.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with the OS X 10.5 operating system.
* https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/
Another option to consider is to install the last Firefox 10.0.x ESR version as that version is more recent than the Firefox 16.0.2 version.

 Another question, I used a iplanet web server as a proxy server with a
 cluster of two weblogic servers pluged in, although I set
 weblogic.properties to round-robin, however, when I run a fibonacci servlet,
 it does not do the round-robin. It always go to one machine for a lot of
 times. Any idea?
 Thank you for your help.

May i presume that your cluster is configured on a shared file system?.
 I have seen this problem only if you cluster is configured on different machines
 and if the directory structure is not identical.
 let us know..
