Reading files from shared mapped folders

How is the correct approach to read files from a volume which maps a shared disk?
I mean, we have the Y:\Folder which maps \\bla_bla\root\folder.
Our application has to read into Y:\Folder.
How do we create a File object which points to Y:\Folder?
Thanks.

> We catch a java.lang.NullPointerException
Okay. You know how to debug those, right? Some condition exists that is causing an NPE (that line alone won't do it), so you'll need to do some investigating.
How to resolve a java.lang.NullPointerException
You'll want to ensure that the directory actually exists, you've mapped it correctly, you have the appropriate permissions to access it, etc.
Good luck!

  • Reading files from a mapped drive

    Hello,
    I am trying to pull image files off of a network share in Oracle Forms.
    Everytime I do this, I get error FRM-47109 Cannot locate image file..... i
    have tried accessing this drive with 2 methods:
    1. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE(:datablock.imagelocation ||
    :datablock.filename || '.tif', 'ANY', BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM);
    2. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE('\\server\images\'
    ||:CRASH_IMAGES.folder || '\' || :crash_images.docno ||'.tif',
    'ANY', 'BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM');
    Both of these calls work on the development side where the T:\ drive is mapped.
    When the form is put on the production server with the same T:\ drive mapping,
    the image is unable to be located.
    I have also found Microsoft article Q122702, which explains how network shares
    are distributed to services. I have edited the registry key
    RestrictNullSessAccess to a value of 0, and remapped the drive using: NET USE
    T: \\server\images /user:Administrator password.
    None of this has worked for me so far, and I have been informed of possible
    issues with forms and mapped network drives. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    I'm not too familiar with Windows user accounts.
    I'm having this problem of not being able to read files from a mapped drive.
    Using 10.1.2 Forms Service on a XP machine.
    How do i check to see which user is running the forms service and/or how do I change the settings a user has access to?
    Check in server-info and User/Group: #-1(1)/1, what the heck??
    Thanks.

  • Reading files from shared lib in WAS 5.1

    I have a shared library name 'files' in WAS 5.1. The classpath is ${TEST_FILES}/shared.
    I have some textfiles in that directory, not properties files. Can I read those file from that directory from Session Bean like
    File f = new File("${TEST_FILES}/shared/some_file.txt");
    Can't have that done. What is the right way to do it? Or is there any?

    Enterprise beans aren�t allowed to access files primarily because files are not transactional resources. Allowing EJBs to access files or directories in the file system, or to use file descriptors, would compromise component distributability, and would be a security hazard.
    Another reason is deployability. The EJB container can choose to place an enterprise bean in any JVM, on any machine in a cluster. Yet the contents of a file system are not part of a deployment, and are therefore outside of the EJB container�s control. File systems, directories, files, and especially file descriptors tend to be machine-local resources. If an enterprise bean running in a JVM on a particular machine is using or holding an open file descriptor to a file in the file system, that enterprise bean cannot easily be moved from one JVM or machine to another, without losing its reference to the file.
    Furthermore, giving EJBs access to the file system is a security hazard, since the enterprise bean could potentially read and broadcast the contents of sensitive files, or even upload and overwrite the JVM runtime binary for malicious purposes.
    Having said all this, my understanding is that the EJB file restriction can be broken if the developer really, really knows what they are doing and accepts the consequences such as those above. I did this on a recent WebSphere project and accessed files in a named directory on the application server box using the standard file IO APIs. It just meant that if the application was deployed to another server, the same directory structure would need to be recreated.
    If you're working with read-only data a more appropriate way would be to store the files in a deployment JAR, and access then with the getResource() or getResourceAsStream() methods of java.lang.Class.

  • Read file from shared folder

    Hi,
    I want to read a file "test.txt" from the server "XY" (my own PC) with the shared folder "devices$"
    I want to check first whether the file exists:
    FileInfo myFile = new FileInfo(@"\\XY\devices$\test.txt");
    if (myFile.Exists)
    Console.WriteLine("exists");
    else
    Console.WriteLine("does not exist");
    The result is always "does not exist" even though the file exists, why??

    I tested your code, It works fine on my side. So i doubt whether the file
    exists.  Please check your file. Or do you have right to access the file?

  • Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

    Hello All,
    I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

    If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
    Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.

  • Can't copy file from Shared Folder

    Hi,
    Does anyone here knows how to copy file from shared music. I can view others shared music but can't do anything about it. When I tried to Right Click on music I want to copy. There are only 3 options (Get info, Unchecked Selection & Copy). I chose copy, but don't know what to do next. I wanted to place it in my Library but don't have an option to do it.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    guadz

    I've never copied music, but have you tried just dragging the file to your library? Not 100% sure if it works, never tried it myself. Also, if you right click in your library, can you paste?

  • Can the aTV read files from an iTunes library on my nas drive without my computer being on

    I have my itunes library on a My Book Live nas drive that contains all of my digital movies and TV shows. I want to be able to watch my movies from the library without a computer running. I understand that Apple has chosen to chain you to the computer and your itunes account through Home Sharing but I can not see why they couldn't allow you to access a nas drive without a computer running because your aTV is tied to your itunes account also so why do they force you to run a computer 24/7 365 in order to access the files you have bought and paid for.
    I have a love/hate for Apple because I love the quality of the products they make but I hate how they make all of the digital files you purchase only accessible through a computer running Home Sharing even though the files are not stored on the computer.
    I have tried several things to get this to work without a computer but no luck. The only way I have found to be able to do this is to Jailbreak your aTV and install 3rd party software (which I don't want to do) that will allow you to by pass the computer and Home Sharing (which is dumber than ****) because that is all I want to do is eliminate the need of a computer running wasting electricity (I thought Apple was supposed to be an enviro friendly company, guess not). I am not trying to steal or give someone else my purchased movies and using the aTV and an internet connection they could still be able to tie your media to your itunes account so I just don't get there thinking, or lack of thinking I should say.
    Is their a way to do this without Jailbreaking or modifying your aTV?
    If not is Apple ever going to wake up and allow there customers to actually USE the media they purchase from them without Home Sharing and a computer running?

    no it can't. you need itunes open and running

  • Reading Files from an FTP location based on Timestamp

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of reading files from an FTP location. The files should be read in the order they were saved in the folder. Can someone tell me how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Arik,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what u said, but it isn't working. My requirement is to List the files in the folder using FTP adapter and get the file name with the least file stamp from the FTP adapter and pass the FileName dynamically to another FTP adapter which reads the file based on the FileName. When i tested after including the property (for listing the files) you mentioned, it is giving the following error (copied from flow trace):

  • 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;

    String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
    File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add); ok, ok, I'll answer...

  • Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

    Hi all,
    is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
    I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
    Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
    I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
    The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
    You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

    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.
