Reading data from file in EJB

I would like to read data from files in EJBS (Stateless Session Bean I think). I've heard that the EJB sepcifications don't allow to use the java.io package to access the filesystem. How can I resolve this problem? Possible solutions I've thought of are:
* Use a webserver to store the data
* put the files in a jar and access them using the getResource() in the classloader class
Could you comment on this plesae
greetings

The specification states:
"An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data."
From this I understand I cannot acces files directly, but it does not specifiy I can't use the java.io package at all. It specifically says not to use the java.io package to acces files and directories, they don't say anything about using the classes for other use.
however, a litle lower the specification states:
"The enterprise bean must not attempt to create a class loader; obtain the current class loader; set the context class loader; set security manager; create a new security manager; stop the JVM; or change the input, output, and error streams.
These functions are reserved for the EJB Container. Allowing the enterprise bean to use these functions could compromise security and decrease the Container�s ability to properly manage the runtime environment."
I'm not sure how to interpret this, but I believe this rule makes my solution invalid.
Please comment on this,
thanks

How to read data from a file in OSB

hi guys,
Recently, I've got a problem with reading file from specific location. I've actually followed this post OSB 11g - Read or Poll File in OSB - Oracle Fusion Middleware Blog, and then
I know how to read a file. However, it does not as expected. Because, I've found no way to read data from the file. Therefore, no chance to manipulate the data like assigning to a variable, or extracting ....
Hence, is there any way to read data from file by using proxy service in OSB ??? No Java code ???
by the way, supposed that there is no way to read data from a file in OSB. So, What purposes will the way in the post above be used for?
Many thanks in advance

View Object to read data from a java file

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4 and ADF-BC in my application.
For one of my view objects , I want the data to be read from a java file which exposes some method to return a collection.
I cannot use a static view object in this case.
Please suggest the best way to implement this requirement.Basically build a view object that should read data from a java file.
Thanks,
Praveen

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

How to read data from multiple files and append in columns in one file

You cannot append columns to an existing file. Since the data is arrange line-by-line as one long linear string in the file, you can only append rows. A new row needs to be interlaced into the original file, shifting everything else. If you want to append rows, you need to build the entire output structure in memory and then write all at once.
(I also don't think you need to set the file positions, it will be remembered from the last write operation.)
Unless the files are gigantic, here's what I would do:
(Also note that some of your rows have an extra tab at the end. If this is normal, you need a little bit more code to strop out empty columns. I include cleaned up files in the attachment. I also would not call them A.txt.txt etc. A plain A.txt is probably sufficient.)
EDIT: It seems Dennis's solution is similar )

Read data from a text file, one line at a time.

I need to read data from a text file, and display each line in a String Indicator on Front Panel. It displays each line, but I get Error 4, End Of Line, unless I enter an extra line of data in the file that I don't need. I tried Read From Text File.vi, made by Nat Instr, and it gave the same error.

The Read from Text File.vi reads data from a text file line by line until the user stops the VI manually with the Stop button on the front panel, or until an error (such as "Error 4, End of file") occurs. If an error occurs, the Simple Error Handler.vi pops up a dialog that tells you which error occurred.
The Read from Text File.vi uses a while loop, but if you knew how many lines you wanted to read, you could replace the while loop with a for loop set to read that many lines from the file.
If you need something more dynamic because the number of lines in your files vary, then you could change the code of the Read from Text File.vi to the expect "Error 4, End of file" and handle it appropriately. This would require unbundling the error cluster that comes fro
m the Read File function with the Unbundle By Name function, so that you can expose the individual error "status" and error "code" values stored in the cluster. If the value of the error "code" is 4, then you can change the error "status" from true to false, and you can rebundle the cluster with the Bundle by Name function. Setting the error "status" to false instructs the Simple Error Handler to ignore the error. Otherwise, pass the original error cluster to the Simple Error Handler.vi, so that you can see what the error is.
Of course, if you're not interested in what the errors are, you could just remove the Simple Error Handler.vi, but then you wouldn't see any error messages.
Best of Luck,

How to read data from a zipped MS Access file?

How to read data from a zipped MS Access file?

RPJ,
You do not need to use the Close Zip File.vi when you unzip a folder. This VI is used when you are creating a zip folder.
As for examples, I found a couple of ActiveX based MS Access examples. These programs look to be pretty basic. For more in depth example I would search Microsoft Developers Network

You might want to look at the POI project (an open source Jakarta sub-project) that allows you to create/modify/read excel files via Java code. That might be more flexible and easier than what you're currently trying to do.

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

How to read data from a file that is already open by another program

Hey..
I have made IV, where I'm trying to read data from a log file, that is being updated by another program while my IV runs.
To be clear, this program writes data continuously to this file and I want to read from the file in LV at the same time.
The problem is that LV reports an error when I'm trying to read the log file, even if I use to "read only" mode.
I believe that the program that is producing the file, have some kind of lock on the file. I have tryed to copy the file and then reading from the copied file, but LV throws already an error when I try to copy the file.
Has anyone tryed this, and found a solution.?
Additional info: The program that produces the file is STM Studio
Best Regards
Allan

Hi Alha,
when that file is locked by the other program you can't do anything about that - apart from quitting that other program. Probably this isn't an option to you…

Could anyone please tell me how to solve this problem.

Do you have it trying to read that same file on your C drive or is the file actually deployed somewhere on the server?
