Why cant I use relative paths in Netbeans

Why cant I use relative paths in Netbeans to files on my PC.
I want to be able to copy my project folder between different drives and pcs dont want to edit the code everytime I do.
BTW I didnt know where on the forum to post this. Just in case this is the wrong place.

When I use relative paths it doesnt see the files. Like when I want to add an image to a panel. If I use '../image.jpg' it wont work but if I use 'd:\javafiles\images\image.jpg\ it will work.
Cant seem to fix it.

Can't use relative paths in jsp pages or javabeans

Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me with this little problem.
When I want to use in a JSP page the object 'FileReadInput' to read in a file, it can't find when I only give the filename. The target file and source file are in the same directory so I would expect if I only give the filename, it will automatically search in the current directory. But when I give the complete absolute path, everything works fine. Is it possible to use relative paths in a jsp or javabean file?
By the way, I am working with JDeveloper from Oracle. (maybe that has something to do with my problem)
Can someone help me???
Thx

My dear friend,
It will not work at all. coz, for any jsp file, ur application server will create a .java file and then .class file in a directory other than the directory where ur .jsp file present. that's why, ur file to be read can't be found. that's why use the following.
String path=getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+File.seperator+"yourfilename";

Menu using relative paths

Hi, I have flash menu all using relative paths to the html
files. I also have some files in a separate folder for
organization. I add the folder paths to get to the html files
within the folder, but when I get into that folders file, i cant
get back out. If I add ../ to the other files, it of course brings
me out, but cant get to the other files. I hope that makes sense,
Should I just use absolute paths?
file.html
/folder/file.html
otherfile.html
thanks,
Josh

absolute would probably work best.
When a link brings you into a folder (/folder/file.html), if
the same set of links is there and you click a link that is
supposed to bring you to home (index.html), it tries to open
(/folder/index.html), not index.html. Make sense?
Thanks,
Josh

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

Using Relative Path instead of Full Path OMBPlus

Can we use relative paths in OMBPlus scripts instead of full paths. For example all my OMBplus (tcl) scripts are in folder;
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg
and the MDX file I would like to deploy is in
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\scripts\dwextract\tables
but when I try to use
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE '../scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
instead of
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE 'C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
It does not work.
I use
call "C:\OraHome_1\owb\bin\win32\OMBPlus.bat" "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILE
in order to execute.
I think it is because It set the OMBPlus.bat location is a base folder. Any way to overcome this issue and use relative paths instead of the full path?

OK, a couple of things. First, you need to remember that TCL treats back-slashes as an escape character. Always use forward slashes in your paths, or double up the back slashes .
So, this should work:
CD "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:\\tfsroot2\\Interfaces and Extracts\\branches\\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\\000 - OWB Prototype\\deploy\\ora.stg\\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEor this:
CD "C\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEAs an FYI for OMB, if you are prone to doing a lot of scripts and so building libraries of common functions, you can also easilly use the "file" command in order to determine the current directory at runtime so you can plunk your script anywhere with it's required libraries and it will be able to source them at runtime.
For example, all our scripts have this basic bit of code at the beginning so we can pass them between developers and it doesn't matter where anyone put their script directory - the scripts will find the libraries as long as they are co-located:
# Get Current Directory and time
set dtstmp     [ clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d_%H%M}]
set scrpt      [ file split [file root [info script]]]
set scriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
set scriptName [ lindex $scrpt [expr [llength $scrpt]-1]]
set cnfg_lib "$scriptDir/ombplus_config.tcl"
set owb_lib "$scriptDir/omb_library.tcl"
set sql_lib "$scriptDir/omb_sql_library.tcl"
# Import Lbraries
#      Assumes that owb_config, omb_library, and omb_sql_library are in the same directory as this
#      script.
#get config file
if [catch { set retstr [ source $cnfg_lib ] } errmsg] {
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   puts "* Libraries are missing from the current directory. Exiting.... *"
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   return -code 2
#get standard library
source $owb_lib
source $sql_lib
# Set Logfile
#    This will overwrite anything set in the config file.
set LOG_PATH "$scriptDir/logs"
file mkdir $LOG_PATH
set    SPOOLFILE ""
append SPOOLFILE $LOG_PATH "/log_" $scriptName "_" $tabName "_" $dtstmp ".txt"
# Now the main script body goes from here.Cheers,
Mike

Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

What makes you believe that you can't? To set a custom ringtone (or SMS tone) for a contact, go to that contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. You can then edit both ringtones and SMS tones for that contact.

Try resetting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the power to the router. Leave it off for at least 30 seconds then power it back on. After the router has completed its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet, turn on your iPad and try to connect again.

The HP Deskjet 3050A J611 is AirPrint compatible.
If it is not working for you, try restarting your router as well as the printer. Power them down, wait a moment or two, then power them back up again. It should work.

Using relative path for in file/ftp adapter

Hi All,
How to have a relative path for file/ ftp adapter's inbound/outbound operation?
Example: Consider $ORA_HOME = /home/oracle --> This environment variable can be different on different machines
i want to drop a file in to $ORA_HOME/folder1/folder2 (Or poll for a file).
<partnerLinkBinding name="FTP">
<property name="wsdlLocation">FTP.wsdl</property>
<property name="out_dir" type="LogicalDirectory">What do i write here???</property>
<property name="retryInterval">60</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
if i cant configure this in partner link section or in activation agent sction, how else do i achieve this?
i am using 10.1.3.* version.
Thanks in advance.
Roshan.

You can achive it using the deployment scripts if the directory is changing on the basis of the environment
If you want to change at run time than you can use the jca properties to set using the variables at runtime.

ActiveX control using relative paths

I've been battling with an Active X control for a while now. Everytime I use a particular active x control inside a VI, it crashes during execution. Labview wasn't giving much of a hint, but after an exhaustive investigation, we determined that the exe must be in the third party vendors bin folder for it to work properly. In other words, the active x control looks for lower level dll's using the executable's relative path. I've successfully got this working by building an exe from Labview and then placing it in the bin folder and executing from there.
So my question: Is there anyway to get this working correctly in the development evironment? Right now, if I try to run this from the development environment, it looks for the dll's relative to the path of Labview.exe. Is there any setting to make a VI look like it is running from a different location? I know I could continually create builds, but it would be much easier if I could run VIs from the development environment while I develop and debug.

No, you cannot make a VI "look like it is running from someplace else". The VI isn't what's running - it's the LabVIEW development environment that's running. This sounds like an issue with the ActiveX control that you're using, and not an issue with LabVIEW. Have you tried contacting the publisher of that ActiveX control and asking them why they wrote it that way?

Can you customize the Portal Page_Path item to use relative paths?

Why does the built-in Portal page_path item generate absolute paths instead of relative paths? It would seem to me to make sense that a breadcrumb (page_path) link would always be on the current site and that relative paths would make sense.
Is there a setting that can be changed for it to generate relative paths?
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't think that the portlets lend themselves to a viewing (compact) vs. using (maximized) distinction, beyond what the "Show/Hide Folders" button provides.
In other words, with the folders hidden, things are as small as we felt we could make them for both viewing and editing. The layout is quite liquid and can be stretched and shrunk to fit, given the realities of the items in each portlet (large quantities, long titles, etc.). The visitor tools allow you to arrange the portlets however you'd like.
Admittedly, the WYSIWYG editor is quite large and we'd like to provide options for the user to size it for their screen or to show/hide it in a future release.
One thing that would help would be user-selectable columns in tables I suppose. That way you could hide more columns to save space.
At one point we put the portlet in maximized mode when the user edited something, but that required a full post of the browser, negating the benefits of the AJAX portlet refreshing only itself.
Do you have any specific examples of what you'd like to see more compact?
Your feedback is much appreciated.
