URLLoader breaks with an absolute path

I call a php program from my Flash AS3 movie. So long as I use a relative path it works fine. If I change it to an absolute path, it breaks. This Flash file is destined to be an app, so I know have to use an absolute path. Any thoughts? Here's my code, below with the relative path shown in red. If I change that to a full path it breaks. Full path is http://www.parallaxdesigngroup.com/gg/dictTestDropDown/php/controlpanel.php
function processLogin ():void
var phpVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var phpFileRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("php/controlpanel.php");
phpFileRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
phpFileRequest.data = phpVars;
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showResult);
phpVars.systemCall = "checkLogin";
phpVars.term = term.text;
phpLoader.load(phpFileRequest);

Thanks. Fiddler is great, I didn't know about it. With the relative path I can see the proper data in textview being passed back to Flash from PHP. But with the full path, Fiddler labels the session URL as /crossdomain.xml and in the response textview I can see file not found type of info:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="http://parallaxdesigngroup.com/pageNotFound.html">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>
Weird that a full path would fail.Here is my full path copied and pasted out of Flash, and if you put it in the browser you can see it doesn't give you file not found. It doesn't do anything in the browser because its purpose in life is just to pass stuff back to Flash.
http://www.parallaxdesigngroup.com/gg/dictTestDropDown/php/controlpanel.php
So I now know what is happening, but am not sure what to do to make the full path work. Any further thoughts greatly appreciated!

How to get InputStream from a file with absolute path?

Hi, guys:
If I have file with a absolute path that may be inside/outside
my Eclipse plugin, I want to get an InputStream from it. It just keeps giving me null for "is":
String absFilePath = "/D:/my_dir/.../sample_file.txt";
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(absFilePath);
regards,

Don't use resource as stream if you have an absolute path, use FileInputStream.

X-refs and index markers in absolute paths don't work

A problem has arisen that did not exist before:
If I have added files to a book using an absolute path, all X-refs and index markers in those files then don't work. The index *generates* without trouble, but if I then try to Alt-click an item in the index that refers back to a file with an absolute path I get the error "Cannot find the file named X. Make sure the file exists." This also means, of course, that the corresponding hyperlinks in a generated PDF file also don't work.
X-refs and index markers in files added using *relative* paths work okay.
What is wrong?
(I use FM9 / Windows 7.)

Knut Högvall

Hi Michael,
Yes, I use 9.0p255.
No, the files don't have to be on different volumes. They can even be in the same folder (not that they are, but they *could* be; they are in fact in separate folders, but on the same volume). What matters is how I select the file in the File dialog box when I add the file to the book. To get an absolute link, I first click the Network button, select the top volume, and then navigate down to the file. The absolute path is displayed in the book window as \\<volume>\folder\file.fm" while a relative path is indicated by "..\..\file.fm".
If I add a file using an absolute path it doesn't work; if I add the exact same file using a relative path, it works.
How do I check the hypertext content in the index?
Regards,
- Knut

JSF always uses absolute path

Hi I am new to JSF. You might be able to help me with an absolute path problem I encountered in my project.
Our team has a JSF project called PHA, it has been deployed to 8 production machines. Recently I made some change to it and want to test it on one of my company's testing machine n251. In order to access n251, I need to use my company's proxy bbweb1. Here is the URL I ran:
http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/bravo/pxhistory/map/n251/charlie/pha/ to access PHA on n251.(BTW, we use http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/ to access our production machines.) It seems like I got my main PHA page from N251. But when I clicked any
of the menu bars, bbweb1 proxy always ignores the relative path "bravo/pxhistory/map/n251" and simply rediect me to the main page again on one of our production machines. Here is the URL AFTER I clicked the menu bar:"http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/faces/jsp-pages/main page.jsp;jsessionid=CC8BD42D458EB5361532FF99FC1F5D83". I studied my code for the last 3 days and didn't find any problem. An only wild guess is: when I view source on my IE, I found JSF
always use absolute path :
src="/charlie/pha/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer/1161281
90776/javascript/tree.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" I don't know if this indicates why I failed to route to N251. Could this cause by a wrong config on bbweb1? or is there some trick I don't know? ... Since I don't
have much experience on JSF, can you please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

I wish there were. I don't know of any way to do this. Why

Robohelp HTML command-line utility overwrites merged files in .hhp file with absolute paths. Any way to prevent this?

I have a Robohelp 11 HTML project which uses merged CHM files. I have a help build script which compiles this project using the RH command-line utility. Whenever this runs, RH overwrites the names of the merged CHM files in the .hhp file to use absolute paths (even if the .hhp file is read-only!). I've searched Adobe forums and this appears to be a RH bug. In my case, it doesn't stop the project performing the merge, but it looks like it causes problems when searching the resultant parent CHM (topics matching the search simply don't show up in child projects), as the search cannot necessarily find the merged files referenced in the .hhp when someone performs the search on a different machine. I notice that if I compile via the RH UI, the .hhp entries are not overwritten. So, a workaround is to do the build manually. However, we'd like to automate our help build. Is there any way to prevent the command-line compiler overwriting the merge file entries in the .hhp?

This was a problem with Rh9, see Item 13 at Using RoboHelp 9
I haven't seen it reported since but maybe something at that link will help.

Embedding fonts in AS3 with absolute paths

I'm having difficulty embedding fonts in AS3. For instance,
using absolute paths:
[Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\CONSOLA.TTF",
fontName="Consolas", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
... I get the error message: "Error: unable to resolve
'C:WINDOWSFontsCONSOLA.TTF' for transcoding.
I'm hoping the backslashes are missing from the error just
because the compiler doesn't return them, and not that it's losing
them. I've tried various TTFs with the same result. Even tried
copying code from the AS3 Cookbook letter for letter. :)
Thoughts?

I have a similar issue happening. I am using AS3 and have
this code in my file:
// package, import statements etc...
// the line below is the problematic line
[Embed(systemFont="..\\..\\..\\fonts\\arial.ttf",
fontName="Arial (True Type)",
mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
// now declare my class
public class ImageRotator extends UIComponent
// etc.
The class compiles fine but when I try to run it I get the
following runtime error:
"Error: Error #2136: The SWF file
file:///C:/projects/photogallery_screensaver/bin/photogallery_screensaver.swf
contains invalid data."
I've tried several things including changing the location of
the font file, using a different font file, embedding a systemFont.
But I always get the same error.
Help please!
Thanks,
Dan

Images with absolute path no longer viewed in CS3

I just upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver CS3 - In 8
I could put an images absolute path and view it in Dreamweaver. Now
when I enter an images absolute path it won't show up while
viewing....I made sure the image was uploaded to the website - past
pages that had absolute paths to images can be seen, but new pages
I create or if I enter an absolute path in older pages, the images
disapear and I have to work with placeholders..... whats going on?
Do I have to keep using Dreamweaver 8? (I don't notice any
difference but I did upgrade the whole suite)

Hi,
I also noticed this problem. What I accidently discovered
that worked for me, is that as long as the characters in the path
were all together with "no spaces," everything worked fine. I used
underscores to connect words. I sell on eBay as well as designing
web sites, so I need DW to generate the code for me to paste into
eBay's html "code box." So anyway, I would create the web page in
my DW eBay template, and then upload it to my server. Then I would
go back to DW, and enter the absolut path(s) for all the pictures
to my server. As long as the path is connected with no spaces, it
works.

Absolute Path issue with af:inputFile component

Hi All,
I am using an input file component and selecting a file from location "C:/temp.xml".In the code, I am trying to get the absolute path of the file selected and since the input type of this component is "UploadedFile", I have created a variable SourceFile of type "UploadedFile" this is what I am doing to get the path:
<af:inputFile label="Source File" id="if1"
value="#{viewScope.UpdateMetadataBb.sourceFile}"
autoSubmit="true" required="true"
showRequired="true"/>
In the Bean:
UploadedFile source = this.getSourceFile();
File sourceFile = new File(source.getFilename());
String path = sourceFile.getAbsolutePath();
Now when I print the "path" it returns something like "C:/users/Swathi/appdata/roaming/..../text.xml" instead of directly giving "C:/temp.xml", Any ideas?
Thanks,
Swathi Patnam

Hi Timo,
As you said the InputFile component writes the file in the temporary directory but in my case it is not able to write it in the temp directory.
I am using Jdeveloper11.1.1.5 and i have created an application and deployed on the SOA Server.Now when i try to get the file, it gives the file not found exception and it shows the path as :- javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:/Oracle/Middleware/UserProjects/Domains/base_domain/abc.TIFF.
I have implemented the same application and deployed on the integrated weblogic server and it is working fine but as i have deployed on the SOA Server then it is not able to write the file at the particular location.
Is there any extra configuration which needs to be done while using the InputFile component on the managed server ??
Even i have started the SOA Server with the admin rights but no help..
Even i have used this parameter in web.xml file to store the file in another location but no help :-
<context-param>
<description>Directory to store temporary files</description>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR</param-name>
<param-value>C:/tmp/</param-value>
</context-param>
Please suggest!!!

Problem with absolute path and context using Tomcat 4

I added the following line to my server.xml:
<Context path="/track" docBase="track" />Now I have used absolute paths(ex: /includes/css/style.css) throughout my code and it worked when I served my application from the ROOT context but when I moved it to the /track - the paths did not include the new root context.
So instead of looking at http://localhost/track/includes/css/style.css it still looks at http://localhost/includes/css/style.css.
Is there any kind of setting I am missing in the web.xml or server.xml? I really would like to be able to use absolute paths relative to the context root.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure what exactly you are asking but here is my shot. If one tomcat is serving more than one application then the only way for tomcat to know which application to refer is by looking at the context path. Since you have the context path of /track then it should appear in all of your urls being directed to the server (for both servlet and jsp). Since you have used absolute path in all the cases either you will have to change the absolute path or you will have to define them relative (which is a better idea) to a base dir. Hope it helps.

How to open a configuration file with a relative path?

I want to open a configuration file during the initialization of my application (first "state," u can say) and I am using "Open Config file.vi" and tried to pass the config file's path as "data\myconfig.ini" and the "File exists?" vi didn't give any error (simply, the output was "false") but the Open config File gave an error.
If I pass an absolute path "D:\xyz\xyz\myconfig.ini" it works fine. Isn't it allowed to use "relative path" as I remember using it before for other tasks?
I actually prefer to have this file in the "data" folder that my application's setup will create in the destination directory while installing the application, because it will be easy when I want to ask the user to open and edit it. Or, I would just put it in "C:\" which exists on all the windows computers, but then it would be too much open.
Thanks ahead!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Relative paths have sometimes a meaning for command line tools (where a relative path gets appended to the current path, which usually is the executables directory).
But for Windows GUI applications that makes not much sense. Windows also maintains a per process current path, but that path gets updated by several Windows APIs, one of them being the File Dialog. So whatever your user has last selected in any file dialog inside your application will from then on be the applciations current path. It should be clear that with such a braindamaged current path implementation it has basically no useful meaning, and LabVIEW consequently does not do path expansion, where relative paths are expanded by prepending them with the applications current path.
Also LabVIEW uses mostly the Windows 32 Bit API, which does provide the current path implementation but does almost not use it in any of its file operations. The use of that feature is mostly reserved for the Windows shell API, which is a higher level API that can as best be described as a collection of various APIs that have been thrown together by whatever some MS developer felt at the moment. You can not by any means call it a designed API at all, and LabVIEW makes almost no use of it, as it needs lower level access, to make its operation similar in its working across all the platforms, LabVIEW can run on.
So while you can work with relative paths inside your application (and actually should as much as possible to make your application not depend on a particular location) you should make that path absolute whenever you pass it to a function that actually accesses a file somewhere.

How can you determine the absolute path to a dynamically created NetStream object?

We are trying to implement video captioning with a freeware component, ccforflash. This requires us to provide an absolute or relative path to our NetStream object. How can we determine this path in Flash CS5 AS3?
From the CCforFlashCS5 documentation:
"2. Object name and path
Type the name and path. This is the instance name of the object with which CCforFlashAS3 will synchronize. It must be spelled correctly, since CCforFlashAS3 will query the object with this name for timing information in order to synchronize the captions. The path must also be included; either relative to the CCforFlashAS3 component (i.e. this.parent) or the absolute path from the main level of the movie (root)."

It would be easier if the NetStream object was created on an easily identifiable place on the timeline. This player has an MVC architecture. The NetStream object is created in a subclass to Model class, which is itself a subclass of the EventDispatcher object. The View class access it via an interface.
As you can guess, it's not that straightforward to determine where the NetStream object is located on the timeline. This is compounded by the fact that the NetStream object does not have a name property.
I've tried methods like these, but they only work for the DisplayObject class:
public static function displayObjectPath( avDisplayObject : DisplayObject ) :String
var lvPath:String = "";
do
if( avDisplayObject.name ) {
// var obj_name:String = (avDisplayObject.name == 'root1') ? 'root' : avDisplayObject.name;
if (avDisplayObject.name != 'root1') {
lvPath = avDisplayObject.name
+ ( lvPath == "" ? "" : "." + lvPath );
} else {
trace("displayObjectPath() NO NAME avDisplayObject="+avDisplayObject);
} while( avDisplayObject = avDisplayObject.parent );
return lvPath;
} // displayObjectPath
private function showChildren(d:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
trace("showChildren()");
if (d.numChildren>0) {
for (var c:Number = 0; c < d.numChildren; c++) {
trace("showChildren c=",c," name=",d.getChildAt(c).name);

Frame 12 converting relative paths to absolute paths

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to Frame 12 and now have a persistent issue with relative paths to referenced images becoming absolute. These paths do not traverse a drive and so I believe Frame should be maintaining a relative path for these. In most cases -- perhaps in all, although I have not done exhaustive testing -- the problem paths are for images on a master page.
Any idea why this might be occurring and what we can do to fix it? Our docs team shares files checked out from a server, and each time one of us opens a document, it has an absolute path to a location on another writer's computer. We each maintain the exact same directory structure for all Frame/image files, and again, the path to the problem images is local and does not traverse the C drive.
Thanks in advance,
Shelley

May or may not be relevant, but do the affected relative paths need to traverse the root directory of the logical drive?
I seem to recall, in experiments some years ago on FM7.1, that the final /../ needed to be at least one level down.

How to get rejected file absolute path location in file rejection handler

HI,
Right now I am working in the below scenario in SOA11G.
1) Create a file adapter service and wire it to a BPEL process.
2) Create a Fault-policies file where we have referred a Java Action as a Fault policy.
3) Refer that fault-policy to the Fault-Binding file and put both the file in the same directory with composite.xml file.
4) So when any rejection message happened with any wrong incoming file, the Java Action is getting called.
But as per my requirement I want to get the absolute path of the incoming file in my java action, so that I can write some other logic to copy that file to some other location.
So is there any API available to achieve this or any logic about how to get the absolute path of a rejected file at runtime.
Regards,
Tripathy.

Hi Omar,
You need to use OPEN_DATASET & READ DATASET statements to get the file from application server.
Steps:
Open dataset in read mode
Read the data set and collect into internal table
Now, convert this into XSTRING by using function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING
After converting into XSTRING, you can use CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE to download into local system
