1> open a connection
URL url = new URL("http://images.google.com/images");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
2>post a parameter
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
out.println("q=singapore+satellite+image");
out.close();
3>Read the result
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    connection.getInputStream()));
     String inputLine;
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
     System.out.println(inputLine);
     in.close();
However, i get the following result:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Bad Request</TITLE></HEAD>

Try a shortcut like this:
URL url=new URL("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=java");
Where the query string is in bold!

Without looking it up, I seem to recall there's a setMethod() method, and you give it "GET" for a parameter. But you could look that up. With the Get method, the parameters are appended to the URL after a question mark, like this:
http://images.google.com/images?q=singapore+satellite+image
where as with the Post method, the parameters are sent in a separate stream, the way you wrote your program. Get can usually extend only to 255 characters (or some small number like that), Post is theoretically unlimited.
If you look at the URLs that a Google search produces, you will see that it uses the Get method.

Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

Hi,
I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
//Load from txt or xml files
private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
.Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
.Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
.Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
try
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
//Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
return line;
catch (Exception ex)
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
The error it throws up is:
Error 1
'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return "";

Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI

Read XML from a hardware sensor file into ODI
Hi,
I am trying to extract xml data from a flowmeter that generates XML data.
The xml file is found in http://ip_address/history.xml
I’ve defined my Topology as such
JDBC Driver: com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&ro=true
Please note to access the file I have to supply a username and password so I did in the definition But when testing my setup I get an error:
ava.sql.SQLException: The DTD file "http://192.168.0.202/history.dtd" doesn't exist: Server redirected too many times (20)
Please note I cannot write dtd to the device as it is a read only device.
Has anyone came across such an issue, how can I achieve this.
Thanks
Hicham

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried this jdbc url
jdbc:snps:xml?f=http://192.168.0.202/history.xml&d=c:\temp\history.dtd
but when I test the connection i get the following error
java.sql.SQLException: While generating the DTD from the XML file, a java.io.IOException exception occurred saying: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://192.168.0.202/history.xml
If I browse http://192.168.0.202/history.xml and i supply the username and password I get an xml page.
I've supplied the username and password in the definition tab of the Data Server windows but still getting the above error.
THanks
Hicham

Static lookup lists:read data from a Java *.properties file

Hi
i need to make static lookup lists i am using read data from a Java *.properties file
i am using the Class "PropertyFileBasedLookupViewObjectImpl" that wrote by Steve Muench in ToyStore.
but i need to use the default language for that i update the loadDataFromPropertiesFile()
method to find the correct properties file
String temp=Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
String propertyFile =
getViewDef().getFullName().replace('.', '/')+"_"+temp+ ".properties";
the problem:
For English(TEST_en.properties) it is good and working
For Arabic(TEST_ar.properties) read from correct file _ar.properties
but the dispaly character is wrong
When Debug
In the File 1=دمشق
In debug 1=/u32423

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

Best way to browse and read data from a lot of files?

Hi All,
I am trying to read tags from music files. Currently I'm listing all the files and then reading through the tags, as below:
List<File> result = new ArrayList<File>();
FilenameFilter mp3filter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".mp3");
FilenameFilter wmafilter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".wma");
FileFilter dirFilter = new FileFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File file) {
          return file.isDirectory();
File[] dirList = aStartingDir.listFiles(dirFilter);
File[] mp3files = aStartingDir.listFiles(mp3filter);
File[] wmafiles = aStartingDir.listFiles(wmafilter);
List<File> filesDirs = Arrays.asList(dirList);
List<File> filesMp3 = Arrays.asList(mp3files);
List<File> filesWma = Arrays.asList(wmafiles);
for (File file : filesMp3) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesWma) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesDirs) {
     List<File> deeperList = getFileListing(file);
     result.addAll(deeperList);
}and then read the files in a for loop through the list.
Is there a better way to do the same?

Well, you could optimize that just a little bit by only calling listFiles once with a filter that would accept directories, wmas, and mp3s all in one go. Then you could iterate through the results and separate them into the three categories after you had the complete recursive directory listing. That may be faster. But your OS will likely cache the results of the directory listing, thus minimizing the effort of your current approach. But honestly, no... you need the headers from every file, so you'll need to find each file and then check the headers.
If you want, you can cache the results somewhere for future reference. Are you concerned about performance or some such?

Reading data from Hashtable in another file

how do i read the data from Hashtable which is created in another file. The file which creates hashtable is continuously running , and i want to read the content of the hash table into another file. Both the file exist in same machine.
Help needed.
Ancitipated Thanks

Then you mean "class" or "object", not "file". Yes, you see the details of these classes in the source code files, and the compiled classes are kept in files, but programmers don't think of the files, they think of the objects running in the JVM. By calling them "files" you're causing confusion.
Anyway, multiple threads can access a hashtable, which is synchronized apparently. So that alone shouldn't be a problem. If you have one object adding to a hashtable while another is reading its contents via an iterator, that could cause ConcurrentModificationExceptions.

IE 5.0 hanging when one is reading HTML from Weblogic 6.0

I have following configuration:
Local network (TCP/IP, Wins server)
SERVER: NT 2000 AdvServer & Weblogic Eval 6.0 Sp2 & Oracle 8.1.7
CLIENTS
1) Win 2000Pro & IE 5.0
2) Win 98 & IE 5.0
Quite often IE (client one) is hanging when one is reading static HTML pages.
Also IE (client two) says that there is fail in Kernel and display dump of memory.
In last case it is occured less often.
I located these static HTML pages in Webdefault catalog.
Also I have two simple JSP pages, one of them is genering current time and is
working constantly.
This situation was not changed when I did the following:
1. Disable Java Plugin
2. Set Weblogic Sp1.
What did I wrong?
Thanks in advance

I play the mp3 files as sprites in the score that are
streaming from the web server. If you selecr "Insert->Media
Element->Shockwave Audio" from the menu in Director you can
choose to import a mp3/swa file. This file will import as a cast
member which will have an external link address. (e.g.
http://www.adobe.com/mysound/myfile.mp3)
I have then dragged this cast member onto channel 1 in the score
spanning for instance 10 frames.
It does not make a difference wether the soundfile is of type
mp3 or swa, I have tried both.

Read text from a simple PDF file

Is it possible to extract text from a simple PDF (Non-Interactive) in ABAP? May be using the class CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT ?
Let's say I have a pdf document with a couple of lines of text. How can I read the "actual" text in an ABAP program?
Thanks for your help!

Of course you can do this, but not using the standard SAP/ABAP/Adobe.
Check for the Java library called iText. Now you think you don´t need Java, of course. If you cannot use Java, at least you can check the coding of this library and do it in ABAP for yourself.
But there is no such a tool in standard SAP because why would one buy a Interactive form licence if it would be so easy?

Obviously you have the IBM java tools installed on your PC, and your classpath starts with IBM Connectors\...
What you need to do is to edit your classpath environment variable in control panel->systems, and use quotation marks for any long directory/file names, or directory names with spaces in them. For example, change C:\IBM Connectors\classes to "C:\IBM Connectors\classes". Then it will work.

I have lost my most important iphoto library. I have several different photo libraries that use and the one that I have been using for this entire year disappeared when I switched back to look at photos from an old library, please help, thank you.

I have also tried searching for them in finder and going through the trash, i have had no luck yet and confused on where they might be.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library normally located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
how much free space on your boot drive?
If you launch iPhoto with the Option key held down you'll get a window with all libraries that iPhoto an find. What do you see in that window?
If you select a library in the window it's location will be shown directly beneath that window.
