Problem opening local files

Hi!
Our servlet has problems opening links to local files. The syntax of the link is correct (file:///program_install_folder/subFolder1/some_file.txt). When user copy-pastes the url to IE's address bar, the file opens without problems, but clicking the link does nothing.
This has probably something to do with IE's security issues, but:
1) is there any way to solve this problem with java?
2) adding the site to trusted sites doesn't help, but is there any other settings which could enable user to open the link to local file?
Requirement is that program works with Windows XP and IE6.

servlets run on the server and
cannot open local client files

How to open local file link in IE ?

I know, this question is not APEX-related per se, but I was not able to google the fix to this problem.
In my application, users can open a file open dialog and retrieve a complete file path that is later stored in the DB. Of course, Firefox's javascript does not allow this, but Adam Fisk's applet (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405630#c40) does the job.
The file path links to file:///..... . In Firefox, I have managed to open these links with NoScript settings (white list for our intranet trusted addresses and "allow local links" for trusted sites).
Also, there is a LocalLink plugin (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work) that allows to open local file links from context menu.
However, on Internet Explorer nothing happens and LocalLink and NoScript are only for FF.
Has anyone here managed to open local and intranet file links in IE?

Open local file using fileReference in AIR

I just started to build an AIR application and am facing a
very basic problem. I need a File->Open menu that pops up a file
open dialog and returns the location (including folder) of a file
to edit.
- I tried the fileReference.browse() but this does not seem
to provide the full path to the file
- I tried fileReferenceList.browse() but the SELECT event
does not fire on my Mac under (seem to be a bug reported last
October:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13220)
Now, how can I achieve this in AIR? I assume opening local
file is a pretty standard operation for desktop application, any
suggestion/tip?
thanks
*P

You don't want to use FileReference in AIR for what you are
doing. Check the documentation for the mx.controls.FileSystemTree.
There are actually a handful of AIR-specific controls for accessing
the file system. There isn't a "File Open" dialog per se; you can
build your own out of the controls given. I will say that the
controls will have the flavor of the OS (so on a Mac the controls
will behave similarly to the way a Mac accessses and browses for
files).

I'm having a problem opening my files -..

I'm having a problem opening my files …..for example if i want to download something off the internet and run it after it always opens in Textedit which is annoying…..other programs open fine which are dmg but the exe files won't run….i need help

If you are in fact running Mac OS 9 or earlier, which is from 2001 or earlier, .dmg files are disk image files like the .smi files used under Mac OS 9, but they are only Mac OS X compatible. They are frequently used to store Mac OS X only installer disk image files. .exe files are are Windows and MS-DOS executable files which can only run with Windows or DOS virtualization:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
Most Mac OS 9 programs you'll be able to download either have a .sea, .sit, or .hqx suffix in their file name and are able to be opened with the old Mac OS 9 copy of Stuffit Expander.
If you are using another operating system, please go to Apple menu -> About this Mac and tell us what you are running. You posted to the Mac OS 9 forum, hence my response. If there is an X in the name, you posted to the wrong forum, and I'll have this post redirected and try to answer if I have time.

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

ECL Viewer - Open Local File

If I open a tiff image using cv03n and display it in the ECL Viewer. Then I save as a local file. Is there a way to re-open the local file using "open local file" - that option is greyed out. Is this controlled by an authorization object or something is DMS configuration I have missed.
Tom

Hi Tom,
unfortunately it is not possible to open the local saved file again in the ECL Viewer. This is designed that way because the
ECL Viewer should be used to display original files which are stored in the SAP system and the idea is not to allow also the display of locally saved files in the ECL viewer within your SAP system.
So the locally saved files has to be opened in a separate viewer.
Best regards,
Christoph

File open menu will not open local files using open command but the same files will open if I double click them (permissions seem fine)

Under File menu Open File will not open local files even those downloaded to the desktop by Firefox 5.
If I double click on HTML file it does open
Reinstalled. Same behaviour. Default Browser set correctly.
Permissions set correctly. Odd behaviour.

Are you sure it hasn't imported?
Check for the track names (trackname only, not Album or Artist)) and see if they have a blank Artist and Album, because WAV files have no MetaData, so are kind of stupid as far as knowing anything about the Artist, Album & track id.
You can't search by 'Untitled' either as there is literally, no name at all, but iTunes does pick up the actual physical track name in Finder and uses that. As an example, if you renamed your Aerosmith WAV file from say 'Toys In The Attic' to 'Love Song' it would import the track as 'Love Song' as that's all it can go by.
There are a few iTunes AppleScripts that let you import from a file of WAV music, by looking at the enclosing Album in the enclosing Artist as that's how most PC progs create the WAV file structure.

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

Hi,
we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Ulrike

Ulrike,
I think this is a known issue.
Affected versions:
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

Problem opening .dmg files?

Hi all,
I've recently been having problems opening .dmg files -- specifically for a recent Adobe update, and the latest VLC update.
Checking with their support, it seems that it's not a problem that others are experiencing.
I get the following message:
I'm on the 2007 27" iMac, with my OS (SL) being up to date.
Any suggestions?
Thx!

Could be either.
Check out your own stuff as far as you can. Your router diagnostics page should be able to tell you what sort of download speed you're getting, or you can use SpeedTest http://speedtest.net/
Check your phone line from the main terminal to the router for loose connections, kinks that may be hiding broken wires and such. Check or replace the line filter that seperates the modem line from the phone.
Then get your ISP to check out their end, and the phone company likewise.
Hope you can find the source.

Signed applet to open local file problem with IE6 / Firefox

Hello
I have a signed applet to open a local file, with this code :
try{
   URL destination=null;
   File f=new File(adresse);
   destination=f.toURL();
   AppletContext ac=applet.getAppletContext();
   ac.showDocument(destination,"_blank");
catch (MalformedURLException e)
   System.out.println(e.toString());
...It works perfectly with Netscape 7.01 and IE 5.5, but not with IE6.0 or Firefox 1.0...
(using SUN JVM 1.4.2_04), and there is no trace/error message
With a http link, it works for all browsers...
try{
   URL destination=new URL("http://my.site/mypage.htm");
   AppletContext ac=applet.getAppletContext();
   ac.showDocument(destination,"_blank");
catch (MalformedURLException e)
   System.out.println(e.toString());
...Any idea ??
Thanks
