OpenOffice .odt file downloaded as .txt

Hello,
when I try to download a .odt file from the web (right-click/download link), the file is saved as anyfile.odt.txt ...
I have then to change the file type and answer "yes" to the message "do you really want to change the file type".
OpenOffice.org 2 is installed and running correctly on my machine and is the default app for .odt files.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks

.JS files download as .TXT files how can I download the files corectly

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/750416] 
Thanks - c</blockquote> 
Recently upgraded to version 3.6.3 and since then when I try to download .JS files they actually download as .TXT files. I can download word files without a problem. I'm downloading scripts from my internet hosted database. In previous versions of FF I didn't have a problem. Is there a setting that I need to change or plugin I need?

Try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions

When I try to open a website, firefox tries to download the web address as a .jsf file or a .txt file.

I pull up google. Type in a search query. The results pull up. I choose a website link and instead of going to the website, a notification window pops up asking me to confirm a download of a .jsf file or a .txt file. I will post an example below:
"You have chosen to open 'register.jsf' which is a: Binary File from http://yellow.taleo.net - Would you like to save the file?"

Download a txt-File

Hi,
The following Code downloads Files from a Server, but it has one Problem, if I want to download a txt-File there are 3 Line-Feeds too much at the End of the downloaded File
I think it is a Problem with the Part, where the header is created.
 FileInputStream fips = new FileInputStream(strSourceFilename);
 BufferedInputStream bips = new BufferedInputStream(fips);
 response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
 response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+strFilename);
 OutputStream ops = response.getOutputStream();
 BufferedOutputStream bops = new BufferedOutputStream(ops);
 int i=0;
 byte [] ba = new byte[1000];
 while((i=bips.read(ba))!=-1){
 bops.write(ba,0,i);
 ops.close();
 fips.close();
 bops.close();
 bips.close();Thanks a lot for your help

Try this once
if any problem mail To me [email protected]
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%try {
String ROOT_PATH;
ROOT_PATH = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
out.println(ROOT_PATH);

Creating a file download link on jsp

I have the following on my jsp. The code worked fine until I tried to use it in a new html design page.
<code>
//page name is index.jsp
try //DISPLAY THE CONTENTS OF THE DATA DIRECTORY
File dirname = new File(PATH); // create an instance of the File class
if (dirname.exists()&&dirname.isDirectory())//check to see if File class dirname exists and is valid
String [] allfiles = dirname.list();//create an array of files in the dirname File class
 for (int i=0; i< allfiles.length; i+=2)//loop through allfiles[] and print out file links
out.println(" <table border='1' cellspacing='1' width='99%'>");
 out.println("<tr><td width='50%' class='pageFont'><input type='checkbox' name='cb' value='"+allfiles[i]+"'>"+allfiles[i]+" ");
%>
<a class="a" href="index.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a></td>
<% if(i+1 < allfiles.length)//PRINTS OUT THE SECOND TD SO THAT WE HAVE 2 COLUMNS OF LINKS
out.println("<td width='50%' class='pageFont'><input type='checkbox' name='cb' value='"+allfiles[i+1]+"'>"+allfiles[i+1]+" ");
%>
<a class="a" href="index.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a></td></tr>
<%
out.println("</form></table>");
catch (IOException excep)
 out.println("An IO exception has occured.");
</code>
Then when clicked this code is run:
<code>
try{
//CHECK TO SEE IF THE FILE HAS BEEN CLICKED TO DOWNLOAD SINGLE FILE
if (request.getParameter("downfile") != null)
String filePath = request.getParameter("downfile");
File f = new File(filePath);//CREATE AN INSTANCE OF THE FILE CLASS AND POINT IT TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIRECTORY CONTAINING THE FILES
if (f.exists() && f.canRead())
response.setContentType ("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""+f.getName()+"\"");
response.setContentLength((int) f.length());
BufferedInputStream fileInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
int i;
out.clearBuffer();
while ((i = fileInputStream.read()) != -1) out.write(i);
fileInputStream.close();
out.flush();
</code>
When I click on this link I get the download dialog box. If I open it I get the following open up in notepad(the files I am trying to give download links are .txt files)
Below is what is displayed in notepad ALL on 1 line:
<html>
<head>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" ty
That is displayed in all of the links that I click on. It is the first few lines of html code for index.jsp.
I know this code is probably not a good way of doing what I need but I got it to work fine until the change.
I am sure there is an easier way to code the download link without resubmitting the page.
Thanks in advance!!

Well all was fine with this jsp until I moved it to ApacheJServ. Now the problem has resurfaced(although it is a little different now)
I had moved the following code to the top of my page:
//CHECK TO SEE IF EITHER DOWNFILE OR ZIPFILE VARIABLE EXIST, AND IF THEY DO SET CONTENT TYPE BEFORE SENDING ANY HTML CODE TO THE BROWSER
try{
//CHECK TO SEE IF THE FILE HAS BEEN CLICKED TO DOWNLOAD SINGLE FILE
 if (request.getParameter("downfile") != null)
 String filePath = request.getParameter("downfile");
 File f = new File(filePath);//CREATE AN INSTANCE OF THE FILE CLASS AND POINT IT TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIRECTORY CONTAINING THE FILES
 if (f.exists() && f.canRead())
 response.setContentType ("application/octet-stream");
 response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""+f.getName()+"\"");
 response.setContentLength((int) f.length());
 BufferedInputStream fileInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
 int i;
 out.clearBuffer();
 while ((i = fileInputStream.read()) != -1) out.write(i);
 fileInputStream.close();
 out.flush();
 response.flushBuffer();
catch (Exception e){}
//This is where the java code ends and the javascript/html code begins.Then further into the page I create the file download links like so:
 <a class="a" href="main.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a>I know this isnt a secure way of doing this but I am on a intranet.
The problem I am having now is that when I click on one of the links and download the file and then open it, I get the contents of the file plus concatenated to the end of it is the first few HTML lines of the actual jsp that I downloaded the file from. Before I was just getting the first few lines of html from the jsp, not the actual contents of the downloaded file.
This is an example of what I am getting:
This is the contents of the file that I downloaded.//This is where the file contents ends.
<html>
<head>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//function that allows user to select all checkboxes
function doIt(v)
for(var i=0;i<document.form1.cb.length;i++)
 document.form1.cb.checked=eval(v);
function swap(imageName,image)
imageName.src = "templateImages/"+image;
function imageOver(imageSrc, imageName)
 changeImage = new Image();
 changeImage.src = imageSrc;
 document.images[imageName].src = changeImage.src;
var hide = true;
function hideShow( ) /
Any morre ideas?
TIA!
BTW, I went to ApacheJServ because they wont let me use tomcat :(

Dialog boxes and file download

I need to make a program(open dialog box) that will choose a file and return the filename that it chooses. And i also need a program that will download a txt file from a pc to my own pc. I need help
i am new to java, ive just recently download j2sdk but i have trouble doing some codes coz its my first time. Please help. thanks in advance.

Try this code in the action performed section of a browse for file button of ur dialog ..
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
Object obj=e.getSource();
if(obj == browseButton)
{ FileDialog fd= new FileDialog(new Frame(), "Choose File");
fd.setVisible(true);
String fullPath =fd.getDirectory() +fd.getFile();
textField1.setText(fullPath);
About the second qusetion u need not download file from ur machine to your own machine unless for testing..
So for ur purpose i think u can just open the file using the code ..
import java.io.*;
public class temp{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
     String in="C:\\dir1\\inputfile.txt";
     String out="C:\\dir2\\outputfile.txt";
     File fileFrom = new File(in);
     File fileTo = new File(out);
     FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fileFrom);
     FileOutputStream fout= new FileOutputStream(fileTo);
     long len = fileFrom.length();
     byte[] temp= new byte[(int)len];
     int x;
     fin.read(temp);
     fout.write(temp);
     fin.close();
     fout.close();
hope u will be able to solve ur prob.
Have a great time..

Problem With File Download Dialog Box

Hi all,
I have jsp page that allows a user to export oracle data to excel.
I have these code in my page:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
response.setContentType ("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader ("Content Disposition",
"filename=\"historicalrate.xls\"");
I run the page and it popups a file download dialog box with Open and Save buttons.
When I click the Save button a Save As window opens with a hr.xsl file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as save type. It is what I want.
The problem I have is when I click the Open button on the file download dialog box it displays data in excel format on a browser well. Then I click File > save as on browser's tool bar the Save As window pop up with no file name and a default Text(tab delimited)(*.txt).
I need the file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as default save type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help
Thanks

File Download from Server location - JSP

Hi SDN,
I have a txt file in a folder created in server location under the path /usr/sap/EPD/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0. On click of the link correspondin to the file name in JSP, i have to open the file with the pop up to save, open or cancel. I have to achieve this in the JSP. I am currently
<td> <a href="/usr/sap/EPD/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/XXX/yyy.txt"> <%=fileName%></a ></td>
I am not able to achieve the intended functionality. How to achieve it. Expecting your valuable replies
Thanks & Regards,
p188071

hi,
I am using the following snippet
String filePath ="/usr/sap/EPD/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/xxx/yyy.txt"; // path of your excel file
 HttpServletResponse resp = componentRequest.getServletResponse(true);
 resp.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
 // set the exact content type
 resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+ filePath + "\"");
It is creating downloading a txt file with the name usr_sap_EPD_xxx_yyy.txt without actual contents inside the file. It is just generating a file without writing the contents into that file.
What should I do?

Byte Order Mark (BOM) not found in UTF-8 file download from XI

Hi Guys,
Facing difficulty in downloading file from XI in UTF-8 format with byte order mark.
Receiver File adapter has been configured to download the file in UTF-8 file format. But the byte order mark is missing. Same works well for UTF-16. Could see the byte order mark at the beginning of file "FEFF" for UTF-16BE - Unicode big endian.
As per SAP help, UTF-8 supposed to be the default encoding for TEXT file type.
Configuring the Receiver File/FTP Adapter in the SAP help link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/bab440c97f3716e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Could you please advice on how to achieve BOM in UTF-8 file as it is very important for the outbound file to get loaded in our vendor system.
Thanks.
Best Regards
Thiru

Hi! 
 
Had the same problem. But here, we create a "CSV"-File which must have the BOM otherwise it will not be recogniced as UTF-8.
 
Therefore I've done the folowing:
Created a simple destination-structure which represents the CSV and done the mapping with the graphical-mapper. The destination-Structure looks like:
 
(?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?) 
(ONLYLINES) 
 (LINE) 
 (ENTRY)Hello I'm line 1(/ENTRY) 
 (/LINE) 
 (LINE) 
 (ENTRY)and I'm line 2(/ENTRY) 
 (/LINE) 
(/ONLYLINES)
As you can see, the "ENTRY"-Element holds the data. 
 
Now I've created the folowing Java-Mapping and added that mapping within the Interface-Mapping as second step after the graphical mapping: 
 
---cut--- 
package sfs.biz.xi.global; 
 
import java.io.InputStream; 
import java.io.OutputStream; 
import java.util.Map; 
 
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder; 
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory; 
 
import org.w3c.dom.Document; 
import org.w3c.dom.Element; 
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList; 
 
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation; 
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException; 
 
public class OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM implements StreamTransformation { 
 
 public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws StreamTransformationException { 
 try { 
 byte BOM[] = new byte[3]; 
 BOM[0]=(byte)0xEF; 
 BOM[1]=(byte)0xBB; 
 BOM[2]=(byte)0xBF; 
 String retString=new String(BOM,"UTF-8"); 
 Element ServerElement; 
 NodeList Server; 
 
 DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); 
 DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); 
 Document doc = docBuilder.parse(in); 
 doc.getDocumentElement().normalize(); 
 NodeList ConnectionList = doc.getElementsByTagName("ENTRY"); 
 int count=ConnectionList.getLength(); 
 for (int i=0;i<count;i++) { 
 ServerElement = (Element)ConnectionList.item(i); 
 Server = ServerElement.getChildNodes(); 
 retString += Server.item(0).getNodeValue().trim() + "\r\n"; 
 } 
 
 out.write(retString.getBytes("UTF-8")); 
 
 } catch (Throwable t) { 
 throw new StreamTransformationException(t.toString()); 
 } 
 } 
 
 public void setParameter(Map arg0) { 
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub 
 
 } 
 
/* 
 public static void main(String[] args) { 
 File testfile=new File("c:\\instance.xml"); 
 File testout=new File("C:\\testout.txt"); 
 FileInputStream fis = null; 
 FileOutputStream fos= null; 
 OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM myFI=new OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM(); 
 try { 
 fis = new FileInputStream(testfile); 
 fos = new FileOutputStream(testout); 
 myFI.setParameter(null); 
 myFI.execute(fis, fos); 
 } catch (Exception e) { 
 e.printStackTrace(); 
 } 
 
 
 } 
 */ 
 
} 
--cut---
 
This Mapping searches all "ENTRY"-Tags within the XML-Strucure and creates a big string which startes with the UTF-8-BOM and than combined each ENTRY-Element, separated by CR/LF. 
 
We use this as Payload for an Mail-Adapter (sending via SMTP) but it should also work on File-Adapter. 
 
Hope it helps. 
Rene 
 
Besides: could someone tell SAP that this editor is the WORSEST editor I've ever seen. Maybe this guys should copy somethink from wikipedia :-((

DownloadServlet or alternative method for file download

I have searched the forums for this topic and have seen one other posting from someone having the same problem (with no response). I can not get the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.DownloadServlet to fully function. Using the file access example code that is installed with iAS and following the instructions in the manual "Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE JSP Tag Libraries and Utilities Reference 10g (9.0.4)" I can get the file upload to work just fine (both to a file and to the database). However with the file download it stops short of working. It will access the DownloadServlet and list the files that have been uploaded, but when you try to follow the link that it creates you get a "400 Bad Request"
If you look at the URL it creates I see what I think is a problem
Here is a clip of code from dbBeanDownloadExample.jsp that creates the URL
The following files were found:
<% Enumeration fileNames = dbean.getFileNames();
while (fileNames.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement();
%>
 <a href="<%= servletPath + name +
 ?"+FileAccessUtil.SRCTYPE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getSourceType() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.TABLE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getTable() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.PREFIX_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getPrefixColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.DATA_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getDataColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.FNAME_COL_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getFileNameColumn() +
"&"+FileAccessUtil.FILETYPE_PARAM + "=" + dbean.getFileType() %> ">
<%= name %></a>
<% } %>
and here is one of the URLs
http://iasserver.here.com:7779/ojspdemos/servlet/download/beanexample\fields.txt?srcType=database&fileType=binary&table=fileaccess&prefixCol=fileprefix&fileNameCol=filename&dataCol=data
The problem I see is the fileprefix (from the upload) "beanexample" and the filename "fields.txt" is appended to the end of the servlet "download", while the rest of the parameters to the DownloadServlet are passed in the proper manner "srcType=database". I have been unable to find any documentation on the DownloadServlet so I don't know if there are setters for the fileprefix or the filename.
This example code has been out for sometime, I know it was with iAS 9.0.2. Has any one been successful implementing the download of a file from the database using the oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.HttpDownloadBean or the tag?
Certainly Oracle must test this stuff before they release it. At some point I think this must have work.

Larry, the DownloadServlet certainly worked at some point of time as ensured by the automated tests. It should work all the time, I believe, unless......
The problem I see is the fileprefix (from the upload)

documentation on the DownloadServlet so I don't know if
there are setters for the fileprefix or the filename.A nice observation. That is the root cause of the problem, I believe. Actually, the documentation is right there in the example dbBeanDownloadExample.jsp. You should use
 String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement()).replace('\\','/');
as in the example instead of
 String name = (String)fileNames.nextElement();
Well, I will check if this point of changing '\' to '/' have been made explicitly in the documentation. That kind s of tiny point is sometimes really a killer.
Hope this helps.

File download uielement resource attribute

Hello,
I am following the blog [link|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/WebDynproforJava-+FileDownloadUIElement]
this works fine except for the fact that resource attribute is indeed needed for filedownload element coz it otherwise gives a dump
so how should I populate the resource ? if i just simple keep a resource type attribute then the dump is gone but there is no file.
thanks in advance
B

Hi,
If you are using 7.0 then you need to bind the file download ui to an attribute of type binary and if you are using CE 7.1 then ui must be binded to an attribute of type Resource.
The best way to set the binary attribute is
wdContext.currentContextElement().setBinary(str.getBytes());
And for CE 7.1, set the Resource attribute like
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(str.getBytes(), "MyFile", WDWebResourceType.TXT);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setResource(resource);

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your feeback.
I am using forms6i.Basically our application was migrated from 4.5 to 6i two years back. Due to some reasons our technical team members are insisting us to store the template FMB's into the database to do the coding activities at site.
Once in a month we are receiving the live dump for test database.Hence the problem.
Please suggest the easiest way to store the template FMBs in the database.
Thanks & Regards,

How to invoke a xml-file download ?

How can I manipulate XSQL/XSL that when the transition is done, the user downloads the result to his file system. And not only for XML File downloads but for txt or doc formats?
Thomas

In transaction SM69 external operating system commands can be set up and then these can be executed using function SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM from ABAP or using SM49 transaction.
See documentation in the function module and application help in the SM69 / SM49 transactions.
You could set up commands for copy, move, delete for the relevant directories. Be careful to limit the directories and set security appropriately.

Mangled file downloads over http problem in 10g

I have a web app running in an OC4J stand alone 10.1.3.3 and am having a problem with downloading files over http. Its a struts2 app whose file downloading impl is easy to use and standard code for writing to an http servlet response output stream.
Using the firefox plugin for Live Headers I can see that the headers are correctly added to the servlet response and I do get the file I want. However the file has been mangled with binary output around the text. This is the case for txt, word, or any other file.
This problem does not occur in Jetty or Tomcat. I've also ruled out file corruption while going in/out of the database since I can upload a file when running oc4j, turn off oc4j, start up my app in Jetty and retrieve the same file just fine.
The mime types are all accounted for and the problem exists regardless if I use a specific content type or just application/download. My browsers (firefox and ie) also recognize all files from the content disposition value "attachment; filename=myfilename.ext". Its just the file content that some how has been wrecked on the way out of the container.
Has anyone experienced this? I only found one or two unanswered posts elsewhere.
How can this be mitigated?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Figured it out when I realized it was in fact the data coming from the database that was corrupt. There were some older posts on the hibernate website that pointed to a single property that needs to go in the hibernate.properties file: hibernate.jdbc.use_streams_for_binary=true. Without it, Oracle returns the Blob locator consistently 86 bytes in length and therefore bad binary.

ICal file download, but can't import

I can't seem to find this situation in these forums, so if it's been answered, pardon me. Okay, so I've been on with a website IT rep for two days and we can't figure the problem, so I'll throw it out here. I am an ice hockey official and our scheduling is done through an assigning website. There are ways to download an individual game file for either iCal or Google Calendar, then import them, one at a time - which seems to work fine for me. However, that is fine for a game or two, when trying to do an entire season, it gets very tendious. Hence, there is also a way to download one's entire schedule. That's where I run into problems. It doesn't seem to want to import any events at all. I've checked the file with a validator and it's fine. I emailed the file to the tech, he says it's fine. However, no matter what I try, I can't get that file to import. If it helps, here's what I'm running. iCal 5.0.1, OS 10.7.2, and for this website and download I'm using FireFox 8.0.1 (Safari isn't supported for their site). Any ideas? The tech suggested I change the .ICS file to a .TXT file and look at it in Text Editor, but I'm lost there. I'd be happy to cut and paste the text code in an email to you, if it would help. Any thoughts?

If you have another cord try that & a different usb port.
