Reading files from Java embedding.

Dear All,
My BPEL process has a Java embedding node, and it invokes a Java class, in which an xsl file is being read for transformation.
I deploy the xsl files directory together with BPEL package (the jar). In the package, I put the file dir at the root level, which means the jar structure looks like the following:
/BPEL-INF
/META-INF
/xsd
/xsl
*.wsdl
*.bpel
bpel.xml
The java class is package in /BPEL-INF dir, it's supposed to read files from /xsl dir.
My question is, how should I put the file path?
I tried "/xsl/***.xsl" and "../xsl/***.xsl", neither works. Although "/xsl/***.xsl" worked when testing in JDeveloper, but FileNotFound after deployment.
Thanks,
Haibo

I solved this issue by putting the files dir in /BPEL-INF/classes/. and use ClassLoader to read in those files.

Reading file from Java Web App?

My application has a custom configuration file that I want to read at runtime.
What directory should I put the file in and how should my code locate the file at runtime?
Obviously, I don't want to hardcode paths.
Is there an easy way to find the file at runtime if it's in my classpath root?
(sorry for the repetition, I posted a vartion of this question at the end of another thread.)

Just read your post in the other thread ... another why of doing this could be to set your own environment variable and then use it within your app.
ie. in a DOS window (or better still, use the Environment Variables option within the Properties of My Computer).
c:\>set myAppCfgFile = c:\myapp\myconfig.inithen in Java.
String pathAndFilename = System.getenv("myAppCfgFile"); // note, environment variables are not case sensitive (or shouldn't be).

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

Reading file from a folder : File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);

Hi,
Trying to read files from a dir on my site using a JSP and bean. I've tried nearly every option for the filepath I can think of and it doesn't seem to be finding the file...
Here's the bit:
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
It's working locally, but I obviously had to change the path from c://... to the above.
The full code is listed below in the addWedding Method
The method removes the .jpg from the file name and then writes the new file name to a database
Thanks for any insight.
Regards
Jim
public String addWedding(String aFile_to_add)
String feedback = "unset in scrubWedding";
try
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
java.sql.Connection connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/rhwedd2_shop?user=**********&password=*******");
java.sql.Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
if (files == null)
feedback = "Sorry, couldn't find the file "+aFile_to_add+"...no files have been added.";
else
for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++)
// Get filename of file or directory
String filename = files;
String no_extension;
//convert string array element into a char array
char [] charsfilename = filename.toCharArray();
int newlength = charsfilename.length -4;
no_extension = String.valueOf(charsfilename,0,newlength);
filesAdded = filesAdded+", "+no_extension;
// Show the new file names in stack trace without extension
//System.out.println("String no_extension " + no_extension );
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO items VALUES ('"+no_extension+"',5,'"+aFile_to_add+"')");
// write to table with item_id and weddingid
feedback = "The following files have been added..."+filesAdded;
if (statement != null )
statement.close();
if ( connection != null )
connection.close();
catch(Exception e)
feedback = "Into the catch";
e.printStackTrace(System.err) ;
return feedback;
}//end addWedding

String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add); ok, ok, I'll answer...
1) What gives you the impression that the relative directory "images\\..." exists (or, in other words, what makes you think your current directory is the parent of "images"?

How to read file from server

Hi,
When i try to read file from server,the following message is displayed .
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /tmp read) has not been granted to EWMTRACKTEST. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'EWMTRACKTEST', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', ' /tmp', 'read' )
ORA-06512: at "EWMTRACKTEST.GET_DIRLIST_EWM", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 1
thanks and regards
P Prakash

it seems obvious, user EWMTRACKTEST doesn`t have access to directory /tmp and the file under that.
try to give read permission and try again.
you could use command line like 'chmod' to grant permissions.

Starting exetutable java file from java code

Hi I was wondering how I can start a executable java file from java code?
thanks

Hi Mkaveli,
Yes, it's possible. If you have a JAR executable, you've just to call the main method of its starter class. For a simple executable class, just call its main method.
This way :
SomeStarter.main(null); // if there's no argumentSmall precision : the executable JAR or class must be specified in the classpath of your application.

How to modify an existing xml file from java code.

Hi
I have worked on creating a new xml file from java code using xmlbeans.But if i try to modify an already existing file using java code I am unable to get errorfree xmlfile.
For example if xml file(studlist.xml) is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
Now suppose i have set name to victor using student.setName,
and set age to 20 using setAge from javacode,
the new xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
<Student>
          <Name>victor</Name>
          <Age>20</Age>
     </Student>
As observed this is not a valid xml file.But how can i modify without any errors?

I know it's an old post, but I found this while doing a google search for something else, and don't like to leave it un-aswered
Just in case anyone has a similar problem... In this case the new elements have been appended outside of the root element
What you need to do is first get the root element and then append the new children to that, there are several ways of getting the root element, which depend on what you want to do with the elements you get back here's a simple (incomplete) way.
// gets the root element of the specified file (code not shown)
Element rootElement= new SAXReader().read(file).getRootElement();Then just append the new elements as below (this is non-generic code and would need to be modified for your situation)
// write a new student element
Element student = document.createElement("Student"); // creates the new student
rootElement.appendChild(student); // ***appends it to the root element***
Element name = document.createElement("Name"); // creates the name element
name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Fred")); // adds the name text to the name element
student.appendChild(name); // appends the name to the student
Element age= document.createElement("Age"); // creates the age element
age.appendChild(document.createTextNode("26")); // adds the age text to the age element
student.appendChild(age); // appends the name to the studentThen flush ya buffers or whatever and write the file
