Unix java reading Windos files

i have been working on web project for a while, part of it reads files on another windos box. as i am developing the code on windows also, reading files on another windows box seems to be no problem; however, the production code will be running on a unix box, one of us said reading files on a windows box from a unix box will be a problem. heard installing samba on the unix box would solve this problem, yet the sys admin has no idea on what smba is and would not install it. so, i heard there is a thing called jcifs.jar that can be used to solve this potential problem. as i have no experience on this at all, i would certtainly appreciate any input from anyone.
thanks in advance.

i need to read from a unix box a file residing on a
windows directory, a plain text file, and then pass
it as an File object to another piece od code which
takes in a File object. so far with jcifs, i can get
a SambFile instance, i need to turn it into a regular
File instance so that the other piece of code can use
it.Yes, I know what you mean. An SmbFile is not a File so you can't pass it to this software. You have two choices: (1) get that software fixed so it can take an InputStream instead of a File (2) copy the data from the SmbFile to a temporary file on your Windows box and use that.
i know smbfile provides input and output streams but
i wonder if i can turn the smbfile into a regular
java io file without saving the file so that the
performance would be better? is this possible? the
code that uses the file object complain file not
found...You could try writing a subclass of File that wraps an SmbFile. There's only a few dozen methods to implement. But then you'd probably find that the software you are feeding tries to do something like "new FileInputStream(yourFile)" which would fail in some peculiar way. You could ask the designers of that other piece of code why they require a File.

Writing to a file in java, reading the file with C++

Is there a way that I can write data to a file (such as a sequence of floats, doubles, ints and chars) and then read the file in with a C++ program that will correctly interpret all the data types.
Thanks,
Darrin

Well, in order to make files readable with different languages, you need to pay attention to byte-order. Generally, C++ reads things using the native byte order of the machine the code is running on. Java on the other hand usually uses big endian byte order everywhere. The java.nio package supports different byte orders, and probably would be helpful for your purposes. You should check out NIO API, specifically file channels and byte buffers, and see if that will serve your purposes. If you have any more specific questions, then come on back and post them.

Java application - processing files on different unix server

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to
a) read a file that is on a different unix server to the one that my java application is on
b) move a file from one directory on the remote unix server to another directory on the remote unix server
Regards,
sabretooth

for (b):
If I were you I would set up a FTP account for your app on the remote unix server. Then I would get my hands on a simple ftp framework
and simply:
Ftp ftp = new Ftp("UNIXHostIP", username, password);
ftp.connect();
ftp.moveRemoteFile("form here","to here");
ftp.disconnect();
some frameworks:
JScape, iNet Factory: com.jscape.inet.ftp.Ftp
/n software, IP*Works: ipworks.Ftp
Enterprise Distributed Technologies, Java FTP Client Library: com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient
IBM alphaWorks, FTP Bean Suite: com.ibm.network.ftp.protocol.FTPProtocol
SourceForge, JFtp: net.sf.jftp.net.FtpConnection
The Jakarta Project, Jakarta Commons/Net: org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient
JavaShop JNetBeans: jshop.jnet.FTPClient
Sun, JDK: sun.net.ftp.FtpClient
Florent Cueto, JavaFTP API: com.cqs.ftp.FTP
Bea Petrovicova, jFTP: cz.dhl.ftp.Ftp
The Globus Project, Java CoG Kit: org.globus.io.ftp.FTPClient
I recomend JScape's INetFactory (Easy to use)
OR the one from Jakarta (Free)
IP*Works (TOP Quality at a price)
Check out http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2003/jw-0404-ftp.html
for a complete review of all the ftp frameworks
Firewalls?
make a folder that is public on the unix server-ie falls outside the firewall if there is one (fire walls might cause problems for you)
Unless you know the password to get through the Proxy then this should not be a problem.

How to read Excel file in java

Respected sir/madam
I want to read the values from Excel file in Java program. How can I do that. When I searched over the net I came to know that you can treat Excel file as a Database and write the code as u write for making DB connections .
I did that but i am getting the following error ..can anybody please help..
This is the code what i have written
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ReadExcelFile {
Connection c;
Statement stmnt;
public void checkABA_Number()
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ExcelTest","",""); // ExcelTest is the DSN name
stmnt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery("select * from abadata"); // abadata is my Excel file name
while(rs.next())
System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(""+e.toString());
finally
try
stmnt.close();
c.close();
catch( Exception e )
System.err.println( e );
public static void main(String[] args)
new ReadExcelFile().checkABA_Number();
My Excel file starts from the first row and first column and also the first row contains the names of the column.
It give me the following error..
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'abadata'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
How can I deal with this.?I have properly selected the worksheet while giving the DSN . Is there any versionig problem with Excel or some drivers are in appropriate..and yes i chose Microsoft Excel Driver (.xsl) from ODBC .
I created System DSN.
Can anybody please help me with this ? I will be very gratefull for replies
Thanks in advance

here is the code to read excel file
public void readexel(String filename)
Connection c = null;

To read flat file from a unix server

We need to read a flat file from a Unix server, where our Database is located.
The location gets created correctly.
But while we are trying to import files from the location in Design Center , we get an error that "directory does not exists", although the directory has all the permissions.
Can someone please suggest how should we create the location so as it can read the files.
Please Reply ASAP......

We have started Design Center on a local machine(Windows Machine) with uaer as repository owner of the server,
In the design center we can not sample the file till we import it,
can you please tell how to sampe the file without importing it.
Also a location pointing to server location gets easily created on the design center and the file module points to that location only, but when we try to import the file through that location, it says directory does not exists, although oracle user has all the read write permissions on the directory......
Please help!

Reading a file which is on different unix box

Hi,
Our project has a requirement to send a file as an attachment in the email to a user. Our application is deployed as an ear in a WAS server (which is a unix box). The interface that actually sends the email is deployed on another unix box. Our application creates a file and saves it on the application unix box. now the email sending interface needs to access this file which is deployed on the application unix box and send it as an attachment.
Can the email sending interface access the file on the application unix box if i send it the path; is it possible since the interface and the attachment file are deployed on diff unix boxes?
Now one can access the application using the url of the form -
http://<box name>:<port>/<context root>/<servelet path>Now suppose while creating the file, i give the input path as
http://<box name>:<port>/<file name>,where will the file be created and if i send this path to the email interface, will it be able to access this file?
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

You would be better off using an nfs partition. All flavors of unix come with NFS capabilities, so simply let your application "box" share a directory where it writes the files, and let the email "box" mount the directory in order to read the files.

Unable to read Properties file from Java code

Hi,
The directory structure of my application is as follows:-
My App
++++++ src
++++++++com
++++++++++readProp.java
++++++++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.
