Reading Registry entry from Java

Dear experts,
I need to read the registry entry's value "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate"
from Java.
Will anybody help?
Thanks for future response
Unique

Do you really think it is a good idea to tie a program written in a language whose main
strong point is being platform-independent to a specific platform just to get a date format ?
You might want to take a look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html

Can't read registry entry AppPath... - My solution

Good news! For me, there was a simple solution when I got this error message. (Some background: We just upgraded Office to 2007 and RoboHelp 8 from RoboHelp 5.) Today when I tried to open RoboHelp for Word (version 8) for the first time, I received this error message:
"Can't read registry entry AppPath. RoboHelp may not be installed properly.
Re-install RoboHelp if you continu to get this message."
Actually, I didn't need to do anything major to successfully open RoboHelp for Word. The solution seemed to be simply to open RoboHelp for Word BEFORE opening Word. (Apparently, in my original attempt, I already had Word open.) So I rebooted my PC, and opened RoboHelp-for-Word first, and (Yeah!), RoboHelp for Word opened just fine.
Perhaps this will help someone else.

This forum is maintained by users of RoboHelp, not by Adobe, so your comments will not be seen by them.
You say you are dissappointed with the Adobe RoboHelp team but you don't say if you have been to Support and what they suggested.
I'm not sure what the problem is but I do know you cannot have more than one version of RoboHelp for Word installed on one PC. Maybe that is the cause.

Error while reading file entries from the database

Hi there,
We are running a instance of xmii 12 in a VM (VMware) and after somebody shutdown the host machine without shutting down the VM (great idea isn't it?) we keep getting this message when trying to access xMII:
"Application cannot be started.
Details: com.sap.engine.services.deploy.container.ExceptionInfo: Error while reading file entries from the database."
Any clue? Any suggestion on how we can recover from that?
Thanks a whole lot,
Dom

Well thanks for the hint. Actually, the DB was up but corrupted. I managed to solve the bug by re-deploying xMII (using the SDM tool) which kept all my data but redeployed both the config db of (x)mii and the class files.

How to create an ODBC entry from Java

From Java application, how can I create an ODBC entry in Ms Windows client?

I know of two ways you could do this. One is very dangerous, but I will describe it here. ODBC DSN's are created using a GUI application from within the Windows Control Panel. The GUI application manages a set of files found in the Windows directory. You can find them if you search for the ODBC. You should find odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini. These are text files, and you can view there structure using notepad. A Java program could open a stream and append whatever information you want to into these two files. The danger is that if you do it wrong, you will corrupt ODBC for all applications, so be very careful with this method.
The 2nd method, as I described above has been discussed (to death) within this forum. Just spend a little time searching, and I know you will find what you need to implement using that method. This is the method I would recommend using.
Good Luck,
Joel

To read a DLL from java using JNI

Hi,
I had some DLL files (VB 5.0) which are providing interfaces. Is there any chance of accessing that using java (JNI). Also is there any De - Compiler available so that I can get the source code of the DLL file.
Regards,
Hari.

Hola Hari
To make a dll loadable through JNI, the interface
inside
the dll must be implemented the JNI way. Also a COM
interface does not help.
I would reccomend a certain product to automatise the
JNI interfacing process, but that would
require that you have the sourcecode of the dll
available.
But one thing you can do is to write a wrapper that
contains the dll classes and is implemented the JNI
way.
More precisely you write an interface wrapper in c/c++
that matches the methods of the dll and does use JNI
methods. Now inside that c++ wrapper you load the dll
and forward the calls from java to c++ vice versa.
Download the demo version of CENTRO.java here:
www.ablon.de
Bye, nilsHi Nils,
Thank you for your suggestion. Im new to JNI.
That dll's are in Visual Basic. I don't have the source code of the dll file. I got the interfaces available in the dll file from a Visual Basic program which make use of the dll file(which we are talking about). As I know only the method signatures in the interfaces(dll file), I request you to kindly provide me some help to wrap it in C/C++ program.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari.

Delte the complete registry entries from roaming profile

Hi,
how can i delete the complete registry settings from a roaming profile user?
I've got a problem with the Adobe Reader plugin, wich isn't available in the IE for this specific user. Other users are able to open PDFs within the IE 9. I've already deleted the AppData folder and the Profile folder. That doesn't solve the problem.
I would avoid to create a new userlogin for the user an copy all data into the new profile.
May there are some registry settings left that I have to delete.
Thanks for help
Malte

Hi Malte,
As you want to delete the entire roaming user profile path for user, you can perform following.
Run > regedit.msc, follow below path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Find the profileimagepath containing the user you wish to delete and
delete the entire key. Log off as admin and logon back as the user you are trying to fix. This will help to resolve your issue.
Meanwhile sharing link and snap for additional information.

Getting Attachments
Getting attachments out of your messages is a little more involved then sending them, as MIME has no simple notion of attachments. The content of your message is a Multipart object when it has attachments. You then need to process each Part, to get the main content and the attachment(s). Parts marked with a disposition of Part.ATTACHMENT from part.getDisposition() are clearly attachments. However, attachments can also come across with no disposition (and a non-text MIME type) or a disposition of Part.INLINE. When the disposition is either Part.ATTACHMENT or Part.INLINE, you can save off the content for that message part. Just get the original filename with getFileName() and the input stream with getInputStream().
Multipart mp = (Multipart)message.getContent();
for (int i=0, n=multipart.getCount(); i<n; i++) {
Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(i));
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
if ((disposition != null) &&
((disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT) ||
(disposition.equals(Part.INLINE))) {
saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream());
The saveFile() method just creates a File from the filename, reads the bytes from the input stream, and writes them off to the file. In case the file already exists, a number is added to the end of the filename until one is found that doesn't exist.
// from saveFile()
File file = new File(filename);
for (int i=0; file.exists(); i++) {
file = new File(filename+i);
The code above covers the simplest case where message parts are flagged appropriately. To cover all cases, handle when the disposition is null and get the MIME type of the part to handle accordingly.
if (disposition == null) {
// Check if plain
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if (mbp.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
// Handle plain
} else {
// Special non-attachment cases here of
// image/gif, text/html, ...

Dangling registry entry from Flash 9 - flashutil9f.exe

I installed Flash 10, which supposedly removed Flash 9.
However, there is a persistent and unremovable key in the Windows
Registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D4304BCF-B8E9-4B35-BEA0-DC5B522670C2}
has a LocalizedString with the value
@C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9f.exe,-101.
It will not let me delete it. How do I get rid of this dead
end registry entry?

Thanks for your reply!
We installed flash 9 with the .msi package, uninstalled in add/remove, or when upgrading the v10.
Yesterday I installed Adobe creative suite Premium 4 and got the same problem, that's why I came back and upped the post. In system restore, the restore point created during the installation was called "uninstallation of flash 9".
Nothing in event viewer about explorer.
Edit: If i reinstall flash 9, explorer comes back after a restart...

Change DNS entry from Java

I am looking for ways to update DNS entries in our DNS server on the fly from a Java web app. For example: Users can select a domain and modify its ip on the Java web site, then the DNS record is updated automatically.
Is this possible? Please help...

Is this possible?This is what happens when 'bind' and 'dhcp' work together - dhcp submits updates to bind.
You want to submit updates to 'bind' yourself - that should be possible but
you will need to "open up" your dns server so 'bind' accepts these updates from the machines that are allowed to submit them
and you will need to implement the appropriate protocol or find a library that does it.

I didn't quite get what the problem is but if the the desired file is in custom directory why don't you just use absolute path to reference it?
Like: "/home/my/OSconfig/MConfig.xml"

Unable to read Properties file from Java code

Hi,
The directory structure of my application is as follows:-
My App

++++++++resource
++++++++++message.properties
I am trying to read the file as follows:-
<code>
public Static final string FilePath="resource.message.properties"
Here the code to read the file. I tried using the following two techniques but to no use... :(
File accountPropertiesFile = new File(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
.getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath()
+ FilePath);
properties.load(externalContext.getResourceAsStream(FilePath));
</code>
But none yeild any sucess while reading through the Bean class. please help...

Your source code isn't there at run time, at least it shouldn't be, so the directory structure you've shown is irrelevant.
If the file is in the corresponding position under WEB-INF/classes at runtime, the second technique should work, but you need to fix FilePath to agree with what it says under Class.getResource() and friends.

Webutil reading registry entries.

I have the following program unit that works in forms 6i using the win_api_environment.read_registry program unit.
l_filetype := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
('HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\'||l_extension, null, TRUE);
-- Get associated OPEN command e.g.
-- 'c:\win32app\msoffice\winword\winword.exe "%1"'
l_command := WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry
( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\' || l_filetype
||'\shell\open\command'
, null, TRUE);
However, when I converted this to work with webutil by adding client_ to the win_api_environment, I get a no_data_found error.
In 6i, this returns the (default) value in the registry, if I change the null in both commands to '(default)', I still get no_data_found. If I insert a string value in the key I am looking at, it will return that key.
Basically, my question is how do I get the (default) value returned?
Thanks
Stephen

From my understanding of the source code of Client_win_api_environment.read_registry you need to explicitly pass the RegEntry as the second parameter to that function.
l_command := client_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry ( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\',l_filetype ||'\shell\open\command', TRUE);
(Because of the following line in Client_win_api_environment.read_registry, see webutil.pll:
vcRoot := upper(substr(RegPath,1,instr(RegPath,'\')-1));
RegPath is trimmed to the first appearance of '\')
Hope this helps

Reading an entry form a txt file in unix from Forms50

Hello all,
In the windows version D2k there is a pll in the
demo.d2kwutil.pll, this pll can be used to read/writ from/to ini

and registry strings.
Can anybody tell me if there is a similar feature in the UNIX

It you want to read/write to the client side use text_io.
If you wnat to read/write to the server side use utl_file.
