Problem in reading csv file in servlet

Hi everyone,
I m getting an ClassCastExeption while importing a .csv file to databse...
It works fine in case of .xls...
I m using jxl from Jakarta...and the code is as follows...
Thanks in advance..
FileItemFactory factory1 = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload1 = new ServletFileUpload(factory1);
items1 = upload1.parseRequest(request);
Iterator iter = items1.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
InputStream uploadedStream = item.getInputStream();
importCSV(uploadedStream);
and in the import method.....
Workbook w;
w = Workbook.getWorkbook((FileInputStream)is);
In the above line i m getting ClassCastException...
Please help..

Thanks gimbal2 ..
w = Workbook.getWorkbook(is); throws the FileNotFoundException
I solved it by tokenizing the inputstream on ','(comma) and then getting the tokens for each column in the database....

Use servlet read .csv file by ie, but why two more " ?

Hi , friends
following is the key method in my servlet used to read .csv file to ie , but , after I read file to client side , I found that in the both sides of every line " was added, so the csv file can have only one column (many columns was merged into one column), that was not what i want, who guys can find some idea? thanks for your enthusiasm!
void serveRemoteFile(String sFileName, String sContentType, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res, StringBuffer sbLog, Runtime rt){
FileInputStream in = null;
ServletOutputStream out = null;
byte bBuf[] = null;
int nLen;
if (isBlank(sContentType) || isBlank(sFileName))
return;
res.setStatus(res.SC_OK);
res.setContentType(sContentType);
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename= temp.csv");
try {
in = new FileInputStream(sFileName);
out = res.getOutputStream();
bBuf = new byte[1024];

Excel uses a weird CSV file format. You can find more information about it and a Java library to read data from it here:

Problem in creating csv file

I have one problem in creating csv file.
If one column has single line value, it is coming in single cell. But if the column has no.of lines using carriage return while entering into the table,
I am not able to create csv file properly. That one column value takes more than one cell in csv.
For example the column "Issue" has following value:
"Dear
I hereby updated the Human Resources: New User Registration Form Request.
And sending the request for your action.
Regards
Karthik".
If i try to create the csv file that particular record is coming as follows:
0608001,AEGIS USERID,SINGAPORE,Dear
I hereby updated the Human Resources: New User Registration Form Request.
And sending the request for your action.
Regards
Karthik,closed.
If we try to load the data in table it is giving error since that one record is coming in more than one line. How can I store that value in a single line in csv file.
Pls help.

Problem with reading config file

Hello,
I have problem with reading config file from the same dir as class is. Situation is:
I have servlet which working with DB, and in confing file (config.pirms) are all info about connection (drivers, users, passw, etc.). Everything work fine if I hardcoded like:
configFileName = "C:\\config.pirms";I need to avoid such hardcoding, I tryied to use:
configFileName = Pirms.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream ("/prj/config.pirms").toString();but it isn't work.
My config file is in the same directory as Pirms.class (C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\prj)
Also I tryied BundledResources, it isn't work fo me also.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem? with any examples or other stuff?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Thanks, but I am getting error that "non-static method getServletConfig() cannot be referenced from a static context"
Maybe is it possibility to use <init-param> into web.xml file like:
<init-param>
<param-name>configFile</param-name>
<param-value>/prj/config.pirms</param-value>
</init-param>If yes can anybody explain how to do that?
I need to have that file for:
FileReader readFile = new FileReader(configFile);Thanks in advance.

Drivers to read CSV file

Hi,
In one of my application, I need to read CSV file as a database and read the columns from the CSV file. Can I get any drivers which accepts CSV file as a datasource and I can query on that datasource?

Does any one knows how to do it or if they can provide any links, That is of very helpful for me..
Please help me in resolving this problem..

Problem While reading a file in text mode from Unix in ECC 5.0

Hi Experts,
I am working on Unicode Upgrade project of ECC5.0.
Here i got a problem with reading a file format which it does successfully in 4.6 and not in ECC5.0
My file format was as follows:
*4 000001862004060300000010###/#######L##########G/##########G/########
It was successfully converting corresponding field values in 4.6:

While i am getting some problem in ECC5.0 during conversion of the above line:
*4 000001862004060300000010###/#######L##########G/##########G/########
it was consider in the same # values.
I have used the following statement to open and read dataset.
OPEN DATASET i_dsn IN LEGACY TEXT MODE FOR INPUT.

Thanks for your help.

Hi
You might be facing this problem because of uni code. So while opening or reading the file, there is a statement call ENCODING. Use that option and keep the code page which you want. Then the problem may be solved.

Question about reading csv file into internal table

Some one (thanks those nice guys!) in this forum have suggested me to use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to read csv file into internal table. However, it can be used to read a local file only.
I would like to ask how can I read a CSV file into internal table from files in application server?
I can't simply use SPLIT as there may be comma in the content. e.g.
"abc","aaa,ab",10,"bbc"
My expected output:
abc
aaa,ab
10
bbb
Thanks again for your help.

To do that you need to get the response output stream and write yur file contents to that.
response.setContentType(mimeType); //Set the mime type for the response
ServletOutputStream sos = resp.getOutputStream();
sos.write(bytes from your file input stream);
sos.close();

Problem reading csv file with special character

Anyone have a idea how to get this in one line in my interbal table??
Greetz Richard

Hi Greetz Richard
Problably character contains same binary code as line feed + carriage return.
You can use statement below as workaround.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UNICODE
In this case your system must support Unicode encoding
Kind regards

You don't seem to be writing anything to the response at all. Yes, you create a StringBuffer and write lots of stuff to the StringBuffer but then you do nothing else with that buffer.

Reading CSV file, populating text fields, saving each as image to folder

I need to generate a bunch of images by reading a CSV file of records, populating various text fields over an image and then saving each iteration as a new image in a folder. Is Illustrator the best solution to this problem? And if so can someone help me get started?

In my opinion...
While Illustrator is an awesome tool its scripting DOM is a little limited, you may have better luck using InDesign as it has a much broader DOM.
If it is just simple text manipulations and you only require an image (not a document) Photoshop may work well for this as well.
Both the InDesign and Photoshop scripting forums seem to have much more activity as well.
For PhotoShop you can also use the awesome resources @: http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/

Read csv file to graph?

Hi! there.
Can anyone help me?
I made a csv file from DAQ mx.
This file Format is
date(ex: 2007-09-16 11:40:32),data1,data2.... date(ex: 2007-09-16 11:40:32),data1,data2....
I want to draw this file to X,Y Graph or Chart.
But I can't convert this into 2D array. When I covert this into Date by using read from spreadsheet file .vi, Date is converted like this 2007.000
How can I do that?
Could anyone infrom me about this solutions?
regrads.
Kevin.

Also, you should not be basing the location of the path to read from the location of the VI. You should use a file path control because:
(a) You cannot assume the file to read is in the same location as the VI
(b) If this VI is build into an application the path will be different.
Yes, if you built an application, the relative path will be different. Also, if the application is properly installed in the "program files" folder, there will be potential problems in windows Vista if you want to write there.
Still, in a simple development environment it is often convenient to keep data next to the VI in order to test code, so relative paths make sense. Here's the (near) equivalent code to whatever you constructed with the while loop.
It is very important to never (!!!) use path-to-string and string-to-path when manipulating paths, because it will immediately break the code on a different platform (windows, mac, linux). You should use "strip path" and "build path" exclusively! Paths should never exist as strings, just a paths.
Small differences:
In this particular case you need to ensure that the "sub folder" control is not an empty string or you get a <not a path> as output.Your code would just ignore the subfolder.
Your code also requires the sub folder control to end in a "\", while my alternative only needs the name. If you don't end it in a "\", the subfolder will be merged with the filename.
Exception:
The only place where path-to-string and string-to-path should be used os for OS specific tasks, such as forming a commandline for "system exec".

Problem when uploading CSV File

Hi, i'm testing some changes i made to an infoprovider and something strange is happening to me (as usual) I have a CSV file that is uploaded into BI from my PC and I tested this file with 100 records, later i deleted 98 records so i can test the file with fewer records in order to analyze the formulas in BEx with some very specific data. Now here is the strange part: even though i modified the file and left only 2 record in it, when I run the DTP the system is still uploading 100 records!?! How can that be possible. I checked everything, the datasource and the infopackage are both pointing to the same file (the one which has two records) and there is no other file in the entire hard drive that has 100 records and/or the same name/structure that the file i'm uploading into BI. I just can't figure out why the DTP is uploading more records that I have in the CSV file!?. Any ideas??
Another thing: I'm having problem with 0calmonth, tried everything. I put the calmonth in the CSV file in both formats MMYYYY (092010) and YYYYMM (202009) but I still get error when running the DTP. I have activated/deactivated the conversion routine in the transformation and in the datasource, I change the field length in datasource and tried any possible combination of these changes and I still can't make it work. I searched here and read all the post related to this issue but i still can't figure out how to properly upload information into 0calmonth.
Regards, Mauro

pls check the data in PSA.... you may be loading only 2 records..
Also possible that the DTP is set to load FULL data.... so its loading the entire data from PSA (old + new)
the calmonth format should be YYYYMM... what is the error message u r getting... you can always check the PSA and see whats the format coming there
