How to get the file path from HTML input form in Firefox 3...

In IE7 (and probably all famous browsers, including old Firefox 2), if we submit a file like 'C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\filename' it works properly and gives the full path to the file and the filename.
In Firefox 3, it returns only 'filename', because of their new 'security feature' to truncate the path, as explained in Firefox bug tracking system (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143220)
I have no clue how to overcome this 'new feature' because it causes all upload forms in my webapp to stop working on Firefox 3.
Can anyone help to find a single solution to get the file path both on Firefox 3 and IE7?
Thanks in advance....

As you're posting this in the JSF forum and looking at your [previous topic|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342365], I assume that you're using Tomahawk's t:inputFileUpload. In this case, just use UploadedFile#getInputStream(). You may find this article useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/02/uploading-files-with-jsf.html].
By the way, are you lazy or just dumb? You wasted one week to this! I've posted the aforementioned article one week ago. How did you stuck?

Doubleposted and ignored any previous answer: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342405]. Don't do that. It's rude.
Regarding to your "problem": why do you need the file path?

Issue with Getting the file path from InputFile component

Hi,
One of our requirement is like below:
I am working on ADF 11g (latest release R1) page. User will select the file and when he/she clicks on the Save button we need to store the file path in the database.
In the database file_path is varchar2(300). We need to store just the file path. I am using InputFile component but filepath is not getting inserted.
This is really urgent. It would be really appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.
Thanks
MC

Hi Mahesh,
I have manage to store the file path from the InputFile component in Jdev 11g. I found the file upload script from this forum and manage to alter it so that i could save the file path to the database. But my problem is to retrieve it back to view as a document. Hope this will help you :)
This is an example of what I have manage to save to my DB :
(CLOB) //192.168.238.53/c$/Research/Docs/0906160744/EyeCandyLog.txt
In my form, I save the file path first before I update the other fields. My code is something like this :
public void uploadFile(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
// Add event code here...
InputStream in;
FileOutputStream out;
if(tanda == 0){
try {
// final Context context = getInitialContext();
RS01Proposal rS01Proposal = (RS01Proposal)new InitialContext().lookup("Phase2-RS01Proposal#sr.model.RS01Proposal");
id = rS01Proposal.dptProposalid();
tanda = tanda + 1;
System.out.println("tanda"+ tanda);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("id"+id);
proposal = id.substring(6);
System.out.println("proposal"+proposal);
UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
String fileUploadLoc = "//192.168.238.53/c$/Research/Docs/"+id+"/";//The place where file will saved
//create upload directory
boolean exists = (new File(fileUploadLoc)).exists();
if (!exists) {
(new File(fileUploadLoc)).mkdirs();
if (file != null && file.getLength() > 0) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage message =
new FacesMessage("File Uploaded " + file.getFilename() +
" (" + file.getLength() + " bytes)");
*// extracting the file message to get the path*
context.addMessage(valueChangeEvent.getComponent().getClientId(context), message);
columnL = valueChangeEvent.getComponent().getClientId(context);
column = columnL.substring(9);
System.out.println(column);

System.out.println("columnLengkap"+columnLengkap);
*try {*
out = new FileOutputStream(fileUploadLoc + "" + file.getFilename());

How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

Hi Firends,
How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
Thanks,
Anderson.

Hi Anderson,
if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
(so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
hth,
kind regards,
Peter

External hard drive -- old file path from a previous laptop is still where to find my songs, how do I change?

My iTunes library is a mess, it is stored on an external hard drive. My old laptop died unexpectedly and I didn't have a problem resetting the file path for the library on my new laptop. The other day my son was trying to update his iPod when I wasn't home and I don't know what he did.... GRRRR Any songs I purchased on my old laptop are now not able to be found. When I click on 'get info' on a song it shows the old file path from the old laptop. Songs that I purchased since the new laptop are still playable and great. I know my songs are still there but I can't seem to get the file path to reset on the old music. HELP!!! PLEASE

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or an external drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

File path from specific directory

hi all ,
How to get full file path from specific directory having many folder inside that directory.
I have file name and main directory name,please help me if you know about it

I recognize that this post is half a year old at this writing, and the OP has probably long since either solved or abandoned the problem in question. That being stipulated: if I understand the question properly, the OP is stating that there is a directory named A, and contained somewhere within that directory or one (or more) of its subdirectories is one (or more) file(s) named abc.txt, and OP would like to be able to locate and obtain the canonical path to said file(s). While I am in no way a java maven, I've written a brief program which appears to do exactly that:
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
    public Main() {
        String whatImLookingFor = "abc.txt";
        String startingDirectory = "A";
        File path = new File("A");
        recursivelySearch(path, whatImLookingFor);
    private void recursivelySearch(File path, String whatImLookingFor) {
        try {
            if (path.isFile()) {
                if (path.getName().equals(whatImLookingFor))
                    System.out.println(path.getCanonicalPath());
            else
                if (path.isDirectory()) {
                    File[] currentFiles = path.listFiles();
                    for (int i=0; i<currentFiles.length; i++)
                        recursivelySearch(currentFiles, whatImLookingFor);
catch(IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("During search got error "+ioe.getMessage());
public static void main(String[] args) {

How to get physical file path from logical file path

Hi
there is a immediate requirement ,
I have logical file path but I need to get physical file path from it.
So is there any FM which providesthis functionality.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks

Can you please share the piece of code ?
Which File APIs are you using ?
For java file, you can get complete path by simple method call : getAbsolutePath() on file object.

Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes. That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

How to Serialize a file path from client to server?

I am using serializing concepts in java. I am stuck, that how can i send only file path from client to server?

Um, ill take a wild guess and say that youre trying to
access a file on another computer using that path?
That wont work.
What could the other computer possible do
with that path unless both computers are networked to a
common drive, or if they are networked to each other in a way
where the root in the file path would point to the same place
on either computer?

Internet Explorer Unsupported video type or invalid file path? HTML 5

Hello.
First I would like to salute all you people out there that answer questions in these forums. Thank you! They have been more helpful than my Web Design class.
Here is my problem. I cannot get Internet Explorer to play my video files. It says Unsupported video type or invalid file path. I have added the .htaccess file for MIME types, and included .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. I have also included a smaller resolution for mobile. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Also if anybody could explain to me in an idiot proof way how to add flash support step by step for this site that would be great. I have searched all over the internet, read many tutorials, used the free code makers, and I still cannot get flash to work.
This is my first website, please go easy on me!

How to add a video file into an html page

I would like to add a Quick Time video into a website that i am currently coding for a school project. I have the video file on my hard drive, so I'm not trying to embed it from YouTube. I have tried several ways of placing the video into my webpage, but all I can hear is the sound from it, there is no visual to go with it. Does anyone know how I would go about placing the file into my webpage, or what code I would need to use? I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and, once again, the video is a Quick Time file.
Thanks in advance.

QuickTime requires player and plugins that most people don't have. You'll reach a much wider audience if you use HTML5 <video> with mp4, webm and ogg files.
