Writing an file to a specified directory

I have an application in Tomcat. In this application i write data into an xml-file. When i check this, i see that the file is written in the bin directory of tomcat. Now I want to write this file into another directory, for example: /tomcat/webbaps/catalog/orders/order.xml
Can someone tell me how my code to place it in this specified directory looks like?
Thx !

When you specify the file name, prefix it by the directory you want it stored in. You didn't show any code that explains how you are doing it now, so I'm not showing you any code that might be irrelevant. There are many ways to write an XML file to disk.

[SOLVED] C : How to block opening files "above" a specified directory?

SOLVED: Used
man 3 realpath
Hello Archers,
I have this one problem I've been struggling with. I kind of solved it but the solution's hackish.
My question is how do you prevent the opening of files "above" a specified directory? The reason behind this is that I'm writing a simple sharing server, something like Xyne's quickserve, but in C and with a GTK GUI. I'm using the libmicrohttpd library.
The program works this way: the user selects a port and a directory to be "served", and then he can access the files under the directory he chose. However, there obviously needs to be a way to prevent the user from opening files above the directory by using ".."'s for example.
For now, I simply plan on rejecting all queries containing ".." (http://github.com/houbysoft/quickshare/ … hare.c#L59), but that's obviously very imperfect -- and you could get around it if there is a symlink in the directory for example.
Any pointers will be very appreciated, thanks.

The POSIX.1-2001 standard version of this function is broken by design, since it is impossible to
determine a suitable size for the output buffer, resolved_path. According to POSIX.1-2001 a buffer
of size PATH_MAX suffices, but PATH_MAX need not be a defined constant, and may have to be obtained
using pathconf(3). And asking pathconf(3) does not really help, since, on the one hand POSIX warns
that the result of pathconf(3) may be huge and unsuitable for mallocing memory, and on the other
hand pathconf(3) may return -1 to signify that PATH_MAX is not bounded. The resolved_path == NULL
feature, not standardized in POSIX.1-2001, but standardized in POSIX.1-2008, allows this design
problem to be avoided.
So be careful to either pass resolved_path as NULL and bite the potential unportablilty bullet, or copy canonicalize_file_name or canonicalize_filename_mode from gnulib.
Yeah, I am passing NULL.

How to print out all files in a specified directory

Now, I have some problem which prints out the entire content of all of the .txt files in a specified directory.
what method i can use?
Can anyone give me some examples?
Many Thanks

Read the API for java.io.File, in particular the list and listFiles methods, and java.io.FilenameFilter.

Saving a file to a specified directory

Hello, how would i go about saving a file like from a JTextPane to anywhere the user selected from the JFileChooser menu. When I use the code below, it only gets stored in the directory where I run my program in.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import package1.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends JApplet {
JTextPane tp = new JTextPane();
JButton b1 = new JButton("Save");
ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int rVal = fc.showSaveDialog(Test.this);
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
String fname = null;
if(rVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
fname = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
try {
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fname));
oos.writeObject(tp.getText());
oos.close();
} catch(Exception ex) {}
public void init() {
b1.addActionListener(al);
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(null);
tp.setBounds(80,80,420,420);
cp.add(tp);
b1.setBounds(10,10,80,40);
cp.add(b1);
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console.run(new Test(), 500,500);
I know I could of used a better way of saving the text but I just slapped that part together, I just really wanted to see where the file would end up. I know if I add, for expample, c:\\java\\ to the string in FileOutputStream it would store the file in the java directory. But I can't figure how to get a list a accessed directories. All I can get is the current one with the getCurrentDirectory() method.
Thanks for any help.

Instead of:
fname = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
use:
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( file );

Writing a file to an Oracle Directory

Hello,
I'd like to use a database trigger or PL/SQL to write a text file to to a directory on my database server. Is that possible? I know I could write a daemon that runs on the OS, but I'd lie to run it from the database itself.

OK, figured it out. This was helpful: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/create_directory.html

Saving a file in a specified directory

I have this network-application where I ask new users to enter their information. I want to be able to store this information in a file under that user's username. I want to make the directory for the user at my server and save the file inside that directory. I have tried several things but nothing have worked so far... Any ideas as to how I can create a directory from within a java program and save a file in that directory?
Thanks,
tiwari

1. Create a File object for the directory
2. Create the directory on the filesystem with File.mkdir()
3. Write to a file in the directory.

Writing the file to a specific directory on server using DATASET

Hello Friends
I know that using dataset command we can create a file, write to a file, read from a file etc.,
But by default it uses the directory DIR_SAPUSERS which is the ./ directory.
But this particular directory DIR_SAPUSERS also has other system related log files etc.,
Is there a way to make the command DATASET write to a user created directory instead of this ./ ??
Any suggestions or comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

IF NOT p_ufile IS INITIAL.
OPEN DATASET p_ufile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
here p_ufile will contain the path where ever u need to place the file i.e. use specific path.... ex: "usr/sap/bin/interface"

Error 7: File not found occurs in 8.2 from transition of 4.1. Specifying the file in file dialog returns error although file is in the directory.

Copied a program from 4.1 to 8.2 recently and receive an error 7: File not found at open file+.vi. The program is built so a file dialog will pop up and ask for the destination of the file. Eventhough there is a file in the specified directory, an error is returned. Running open file+.vi by itself returns no error with the same file designation. Any clues?

noviceak,
Welcome to the NI Discussion Forums.
I created a quick VI in LabVIEW 4.1 that displays a file dialog and then passes that file path to "Read Characters from File.vi" (which in turn calls Open File+.vi). I then opened this file in LabVIEW 8.2 and ran it successfully (see code screenshot below).
When you say there is a file in the specified directory are you using the file dialog to browse to the directory or to select the specific file? Open File+.vi expects the path to a file rather than a directory - that is C:\folder\file.txt rather than C:\folder. You might also want to create an indicator or probe to see what path is being passed to Open File+ to ensure it is what you expect.
I feel like I should also say that in the days (years) inbetween LabVIEW 4.1 and 8.2 the file operation VIs have changed significantly. While the old Open File+.vi still lives in vi.lib for compatibility purposes we no longer recommend using it for new applications.
I hope this helps and again, welcome to the community.

When downloading iTunes, I got a message about error writing to file and it told the file. Then it said to verify that you have access to that directory. I have no idea how to fix it. I could really use some help, please.

I was trying to download iTunes on my computer, and while doing so, I got this message: Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support/Apple Versions.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory. I have downloaded iTunes numerous times and I have never had this problem. If anyone knows what's going on, I would really appreciate the help.

Well, there's definitely a mac and a Windows version. And you're at the right page. I think the problem is that someone forgot (or decided not to) to update the text at teh bottom of the page to have Mac and Windows.
Just push the button, you'll get the Mac update no problem.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.

Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
