Retrieving file name from jsp

I have an input field on my jsp. The input type is "File".
I am trying to get the contents of that field and the filename and/or file path that is included in that field.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I tried a request.getParameter in the servlet but this field is not a text field.
Thanks.

Check out the Apache FileUpload package:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
It has the methods you'll need to get the file name and file contents.

  • Retrieve file name from full file path

    I am trying to retrieve a file name from a path (ex. c:\temp\tes.txt) using the following code, but it is given me an error of "The method split(String) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char).
    {code}
    String filepath = item.getName();
    String[] buf = filepath.split('/');
    String filename = buf[buf.length-1];
    {code}
    I tried to use double quote instead of single quote, but it is not returning anything.
    {code}
    String[] buf = filepath.split("/");
    {code}
    Anyone knows why? Thanks.

    How is this related to JDBC?
    Anyway, is the path separator actually a forward slash? Isn't it a backward slash?
    If you're using Apache Commons FileUpload (which I guess, the 'item.getName()' is recognizeable), then just read their FAQ: [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE].

  • File Name from JSP not shown although attached

    Hi all,
    I have written a JSP to attach files. The file is attached and I can see the file size , but for some reason the file name does not show up. Any reason why?
    My code in the JSP to attach files is:-
    <td><input id="attachment" type="file" <f:fieldName att="fileHolder.fileHolders.file"/> value="" ></td>
    I have a JSP to attach a file and then a BPM presentation to show that file.
    Is that a problem?
    Do we need JSPs only?
    The file size is also not a problem because the max. file size in studio is 5MB and I am running this code in studio and attaching files less than 5MB.
    I have just copy pasted the JSP found at this location
    http://www.4shared.com/get/wuHzQ0fj/FileChooserDemo.html
    into my process?
    It works in Dan's process but not in my process?
    Why is that so?
    How can I get the name of the file attached in my process?

    Finally resolved the error..
    It seems that file_filename is a KEYWORD and cannot be changed..
    so the two attributes in the object should be of exact name to make sure your file is attached with the right file name.
    1) file
    2) file_filename
    If we write fileName instead of file_filename, it will not work.
    Where is the documentation on this?
    Oracle BPM documentation really is bad.. They need to improve their documentation.

  • File information -- How to retrieve file name from header variable

    Hi
    I am using File Adapters to read files(.xml) and then I need to perform some database operations.
    One of the requirement is storing the file name read into the DB.
    I searched through the forum and got the information on how to configure this in the header variable. The link below shows the same.
    File Adapter
    Now, I use the XSL mapper to map the source values(from input xml file) to the corresponding table column names. So how should I get the value of the file name.
    I saw some of the in-built functions to be used for this but there is not enough documentation to proceed.
    Can anyone please provide some solution on this.
    /Kiran.

    Hi,
    Here are the steps that you need to do after you have declared the variable.
    1) The variable that you have declared should have the following elements
    a) Filename
    b) Directory
    2) Use the assign activity to copy the value of the filename part of this variable to the arg that needs to be passed to the database. (most probably an invoke variable).
    If you still have any problems implementing this, mail me at [email protected]..and i'll send you the screen shots for the entire process.
    ciao,

  • Retrieve Operation Name from WSDL

    Hi All,
    In a text box any WSDL can be given as input but its operation name should be displayed in a combo. Let me know how to retrieve operation name from WSDL. I want the java coding to be written in backing bean class.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    the reference to a WSDL file produces a XML document to be returned. So you need to parse that document for methods. Have you tried this?

  • How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

    How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list?  I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying.  I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

    Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method.  I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list.  Is this correct?  Thank you!
    This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list.  However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file.  It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

  • How can I assign image file name from Main() class

    I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
    Here is the Main class
    import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
    public class Main {
    public Main() {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
    mw.s = "clock.gif";
    And here is the library class
    package org.me.lib;
    public class MyJNIWindowClass {
    public String s;
    ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
    public MyJNIWindowClass() {
    JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.add(jl);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.pack();
    I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
    Thank you.

    Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
    public class Example {
        public String s;
        private String message = "Hello, " + s;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example();
            ex.s = "world";
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
    1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
    2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
    3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
    4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
    doesn't change message.
    5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
    The following fixes the above example:
    public class Example {
        private String message;
        public Example(String name) {
            message = "Hello, " + name;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example("world");
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }

  • Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

    Hi,

    Actually my file is located a directory inside one more directory and one more directory and inside the files are located.
    i.e total 3 directories inside the 3rd one my files are there.
    I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
    So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
    Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
    Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.

  • How to get the target file name from an URL?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to download data from an URL and save the content in a file that have the same name as the file on the server. In some way, what I want to do is pretty similar to what you can do when you do a right click on a link in Internet Explorer (or any other web browser) and choose "save target as".
    If the URL is a direct link to the file (for example: http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg ), I do not have any problem:
    URL url = new URL("http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg");
    System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
    // Copy resource to local file                   
    InputStream is = url.openStream();
    FileOutputStream fos=null;
    String fileName = null;
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                    fileName=st.nextToken();
    System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
    File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
    fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
    try {
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int i = 0;
        while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
            fos.write(buf, 0, i);
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (is != null)
            is.close();
        if (fos != null)
            fos.close();
    }Everything is fine, the file name I get is "e8_java_logo_red.jpg", which is what I expect to get.
    However, if the URL is an indirect link to the file (for example: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719 , which link to a file named JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe ), the similar code return AutoDL?BundleId=37719 as file name, when I would like to have JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe .
    URL url = new URL("http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719");
    System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
    // Copy resource to local file                   
    InputStream is = url.openStream();
    FileOutputStream fos=null;
    String fileName = null;
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                    fileName=st.nextToken();
    System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
    File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
    fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
    try {
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int i = 0;
        while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
            fos.write(buf, 0, i);
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (is != null)
            is.close();
        if (fos != null)
            fos.close();
    }Do you know how I can do that.

    Thanks for your answer.
    By following your idea, I found out that one of the header ( content-disposition ) can contain the name to be used if the file is downloaded. Here is the full code that allow you to download locally a file on the Internet:
          * Download locally a file from a given URL.
          * @param url - the url.

              InputStream is = urlC.getInputStream();
              FileOutputStream fos = null;
              String fileName = getFileName(urlC);
              destinationFolder.mkdirs();
              File localFile = new File(destinationFolder, fileName);
              fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
              try {
                   byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                   int i = 0;
                   while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
                        fos.write(buf, 0, i);
              } finally {
                   if (is != null)
                        is.close();
                   if (fos != null)
                        fos.close();
              return localFile;
          * Returns the file name associated to an url connection.<br />
          * The result is not a path but just a file name.
          * @param urlC - the url connection
          * @return the file name
          * @throws IOException Signals that an I/O exception has occurred.
         private static final String getFileName(URLConnection urlC) throws IOException {
              String fileName = null;
              String contentDisposition = urlC.getHeaderField("content-disposition");
              if (contentDisposition != null) {
                   fileName = extractFileNameFromContentDisposition(contentDisposition);
              // if the file name cannot be extracted from the content-disposition
              // header, using the url.getFilename() method
              if (fileName == null) {
                   StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(urlC.getURL().getFile(), "/");
                   while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                        fileName = st.nextToken();

  • File name from an attribute of an element of the payload

    Dear Experts,
    Could you suggest the syntax for specifying the file name from a variable in the file receiver communication channel? I need to grab the file name from an ATTRIBUTE of an element of the payload.
    Thanks a lot.
    Example: Need to pass the attribute "descReceipt" of the element "promotionEvent" to the variable in the following payload:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <promotionExport>
    <promotionEvent eventIdentifier="30" status="A" descReceipt="FILE1">

    The scenario is IDOC to FILE. I need to get the value of the receiving partner.
    The message header has the node "DynamicConfiguration". Please see the xml below. I need to grab the key RCVPRN (0000002104) from this and pass as the file name in the receiver file adapter.
    How do I setup my receiver file adapter for this? I tried changing the values for the variable, and also enabling the adapter specific message attributes. No solution yet.

  • How to retrieve user name from a given Subject?

    I am in a situation where I need to retrieve user name from the Subject that is populated when user logs in. I have the active Subject and I do following to get the principals in the subject and iterate through them:
    Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
    Iterator ite = principals.iterator();
    while (ite.hasNext()) {
    Principal prin = (Principal)ite.next();
    String name = prin.getName();
    But this contains all the principals, including user name, roles, password, etc. How do I programmatically determine which one is user name?

    Don't you have different principal types? I am making a jaas module and I have different principals for roles, groups etc. I think of principals as attributes, the type in the attribute name and the principal name is the attribute value.
    To get all the principals of the type SomePrincipal, you can use:
    Set principals = subject.getPrincipals(SomePrincipal.class)
    You can also take som principal an test wether it is an instance of som type:
    if (Principal p instanceof SomePrincipal){..}
    An other solution which might be better if you have many different attributes is to store both attribute name and value in the name of the principal.
    If "mark" is a username the principal name will be "username:mark" el.
    Then it will be easy to find the username.
