I need to export a .property file when user clicks on a hyperlink. I am using liferay portal 6.1.1. When user clicks on hyperlink, I am making a jquery.get() to the serveResource method which is inside the MyMVCPortlet class. Here the code that always writes the content to response(verified on fiddler) but is not creating a downloadable file.
resourceResponse.reset();
resourceResponse.setContentType("text/plain");
resourceResponse.setProperty("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.txt");
OutputStream out = resourceResponse.getPortletOutputStream();
try {
out.write("key=value".getBytes());
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
out.close();//Also tried out.flush(); - dint help
}
Do I need to set something on resourceResponse after the write is complete?
I tried different options and got exhausted. The same code on plain java servlet works but not on liferay. Is there anything I am missing? Thanks in advance!
Try to use one of PortletResponseUtil.sendFile() instead of manual operations on portletOutputStream. Eg.
PortletResponseUtil.sendFile(resourceRequest, resourceResponse, "test.txt", "key=value".getBytes())

I'm trying to get and parse the page "http://www.ean-search.org/sitemap.html", but it always got 404 error and empty page. All the text content area are blank.
I tried many options configuration of HtmlUnit webclient, e.g. .setThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode(false), setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(true), setRedirectEnabled(false), setJavaScriptEnabled(true), setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false).
None of them worked...
Anyone have any suggestion? Thanks.
ps: my webclient code:
myWebClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_3_6);
myWebClient.setIncorrectnessListener(new CustomizedInconnectnessListener());
myWebClient.setTimeout(180000); //3 min, used twice, first for connection, second for retrieval
try {
myWebClient.setUseInsecureSSL(true);
} catch (GeneralSecurityException ex) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "cannot set UseInsecureSSL for BNP webclient",ex);
//ignore it, continue
}
myWebClient.setRedirectEnabled(true);
myWebClient.setCssEnabled(false);
myWebClient.setJavaScriptTimeout(30000); //timeout for executing java script
myWebClient.setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);
HtmlPage htmlpage = (HtmlPage) myWebClient.getHtmlPage("http://www.ean-search.org/sitemap.html");
myWebClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScriptStartingBefore(3000);
Thread.sleep(3000);
System.out.println(htmlpage.asXml());
Well, the code you're using looks really bad. I got many errors and warnings... it is not even possible to compile it. Eg myWebClient.getHtmlPage should be myWebClient.getPage.
This code works for me and outputs the content of the page:
WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_17);
HtmlPage page = myWebClient.getPage("http://www.ean-search.org/sitemap.html");
System.out.println(page.asXml());
Make sure you use the latest HtmlUnit libraries and also pay attention to the compiler when it tells you that something is deprectated. It is not advised to use those method and fields.
everyone!
I have a trouble. I tried to save excel file in jsf web application.
I generated file by my utils and trying to get "save" window, but I failed.
Here is my code:
<div>
<h:commandButton value="Apply" actionListener="#{hornPhonesBean.generateReport}"/>
</div>
and:
public void generateReport(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("GENERATE REPORT FROM = " + this.dateFrom + "; TO = " + this.dateTo);
try {
XSSFWorkbook workbook = (XSSFWorkbook) HornReportGenerator.getWorkbook(null, null);
String fileName = "1.xlsx";
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
// Some JSF component library or some Filter might have set some headers in the buffer beforehand. We want to get rid of them, else it may collide.
ec.responseReset();
// Check http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp for all types. Use if necessary ExternalContext#getMimeType() for auto-detection based on filename.
ec.setResponseContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
// Set it with the file size. This header is optional. It will work if it's omitted, but the download progress will be unknown.
//ec.setResponseContentLength(contentLength);
// The Save As popup magic is done here. You can give it any file name you want, this only won't work in MSIE, it will use current request URL as file name instead.
ec.setResponseHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
OutputStream output = ec.getResponseOutputStream();
workbook.write(output);
output.flush();
output.close();
fc.responseComplete(); // Important! Otherwise JSF will attempt to render the response which obviously will fail since it's already written with a file and closed.
System.out.println("END");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I read suggestions here and from another forums - everyone says I shouldnt use , but I didn't use it at all.
Then I thought that the problem could be in the
<ice:form>,
where I kept the
<h:commandButton>,
and I changed to
<h:form>,
but it didn't help.
Maybe the problem in the request - it has header Faces-Request partial/ajax. But I am not sure.
Please give me some ideas - I already spent 4 hours for this crazy jsf download issue)
Maybe the problem in the request - it has header Faces-Request partial/ajax. But I am not sure.
This suggests that the request is an ajax request. You can't download files by ajax. Ajax requests are processed by JavaScript which has for obvious security reasons no facilities to programmatically pop a Save As dialogue nor to access/manipulate client's disk file system.
Your code snippet does however not show that you're using ajax. Perhaps you oversimplified it too much or you're using ICEfaces which silently auto-enables ajax on all standard JSF command components.
In any case, you need to make sure that it's not sending an ajax request.

I have the following requirement for a business application:
(All of this could be on local or server)
Allow user to select folder location
Show contents of folder
Print selected items from folder (*.pdf)
Display which files have been printed
Potentially move printed files to new location (sub-folder of printed)
How can I make this happen in Silverlight?
Kind regards,
ribald
First of all, all but the last item can be done (the way you expect). Due to security protocols, silverlight cannot access the user's drive and manipulate it. The closest you can get is accessing silverlight's application storage which will be of no help to you whatsoever in this case. I will highlight how to do the first 4 items.
Allow user to select folder location & Show contents of folder
public void OnSelectPDF(object sender)
{
//create the open file dialog
OpenFileDialog ofg = new OpenFileDialog();
//filter to show only pdf files
ofg.Filter = "PDF Files|*.pdf";
ofg.ShowDialog();
byte[] _import_file = new byte[0];
//once a file is selected proceed
if (!object.ReferenceEquals(ofg.File, null))
{
try
{
fs = ofg.File.OpenRead();
_import_file = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(_import_file, 0, (int)fs.Length);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
finally
{
if (!object.ReferenceEquals(fs, null))
fs.Close();
}
//do stuff with file - such as upload the file to the server
};
}
If you noticed, in my example, once the file is retrieved, i suggest uploading it to a webserver or somewhere with temporary public access. I would recommend doing this via a web service. E.g
//configure the system file (customn class)
TSystemFile objFile = new TNetworkFile().Initialize();
//get the file description from the Open File Dialog (ofg)
objFile.Description = ofg.File.Extension.Contains(".") ? ofg.File.Extension : "." + ofg.File.Extension;
objFile.FileData = _import_file;
objFile.FileName = ofg.File.Name;
//upload the file
MasterService.ToolingInterface.UploadTemporaryFileAsync(objFile);
Once this file is uploaded, on the async result, most likely returning the temporary file name and upload location, I would foward the call to some javascript method in the browser for it to use the generic "download.aspx?fileName=givenFileName" technique to force a download on the users system which would take care of both saving to a new location and printing. Which is what your are seeking.
Example of the javascript technique (remember to include System.Windows.Browser):
public void OnInvokeDownload(string _destination)
{
//call the browser method/jquery method
//(I use constants to centralize the names of the respective browser methods)
try
{
HtmlWindow window = HtmlPage.Window;
//where BM_INVOKE_DOWNLOAD is something like "invokeDownload"
window.Invoke(Constants.TBrowserMethods.BM_INVOKE_DOWNLOAD, new object[] { _destination});
}
catch (Exception ex) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); }
}
Ensure you have the javascript method existing either in an included javaScript file or in the same hosting page as your silverlight app. E.g:
function invokeDownload(_destination) {
//some fancy jquery or just the traditional document.location change here
//open a popup window to http://www.myurl.com/downloads/download.aspx? fileName=_destination
}
The code for download.aspx is outside the scope of my answer, as it varies per need and would just lengthen this post (A LOT MORE). But from what I've given, it will "work" for what you're looking for, but maybe not in exactly the way you expected. However, remember that this is primarily due to silverlight restrictions. What this approach does is rather than forcing you to need a pluging to view pdf files in your app, it allows the user computer to play it's part by using the existing adobe pdf reader. In silverlight, most printing, at least to my knowledge is done my using what you call and "ImageVisual" which is a UIElement. To print a pdf directly from silverlight, you need to either be viewing that PDF in a silverlight control, or ask a web service to render the PDF as an image and then place that image in a control. Only then could you print directly. I presented this approach as a lot more clean and direct approach.
One note - with the temp directory, i would recommend doing a clean up by some timespan of the files on the server side everytime a file is being added. Saves you the work of running some task periodically to check the folder and remove old files. ;)
I'm trying to use DocumentViewer (or, more specifically, DocumentViewer's DocumentPageView) to load a presentation that was saved from Powerpoint as XPS.
However, the author of the slides was being clever and entered one of his URLs as a pseudo-regex (e.g. http://[blog|www]mywebsite.com). The built in XPS Viewer is able to load the document without a problem. However, DocumentViewer throws an exception because it tries to validate the URI:
Failed to create a 'NavigateUri' from the text 'http://[blog|www]mywebsite.com'
I could of course go into the slide and fix the URI so that the document displays. However, since I can't control the documents that will be used with my application, I'd prefer to find a way to display the document in spite of invalid URI's (like XPS Viewer).
Any thoughts?
The DocumentViewer is trying to create a Uri instance from the provided URL. If the URL isn't valid, the operation will fail.
You can prevent this from happening by performing validation on the URLs provided to you by the author.
(writing this without testing, so there may be some syntax errors)
public static bool IsValidUrl(this string url)
{
if(string.IsNullOrWhitespace(url) return false;
try
{
var uri = new Url(url);
return true;
}
catch
{
// if you were implementing IDataErrorInfo rather than using a
// lousy extension method you would catch the exception
// here and display it to the user
return false;
}
}
I am using GWT and Google App Engine Java for my application. I have a profile screen where
user enters profile information like name, age and address, saves it and gets success or failure message. I developed this initial application using GWT-RPC and it worked fine. I had a new requirement where I have to store image of the user. I am using BlobstoreService to store images. This has created complications in the flow. I had to use FormPanel as it is the only way to do a FileUpload in GWT. The BlobStore service servlet expects a redirect on completion. As a result it cannot now return any status back to my GWT application once the profile is saved. Is there easy to store images using GWT along with other form fields and show a status message back to user once the profile is saved.
i struggled a lot with this problem until yesterday I figured out the solution with much help from Ikai Lan's blog. Basicaly what I did is follow his steps but with a few modifications because doing it exactly how he did it did'nt work for me:
Create a form panel : set encoding multipart, method post.
Make a GWT Remote Service that just has one method:public String getUploadURL() or something like that and in the IMPL write this:
BlobstoreService service = BlobstoreServiceFactory.getBlobstoreService();
return service.createUploadUrl("/XXX/YYY");
In XXX you must put your project path, for example mine is com.fer.pyn.PictureYourNews
In YYY you must put the servlet mapping name for a new servlet that we will have to create: I put XXX = BlobUploader, I created a BlobUploader extends HttpServlet and you have to update the web.xml.
Okey, so this is the weird part that I could'nt figure out, thing is that when we make a RPC call to getUploadURL() in the remote ervice from step 2 that returns a weird addres, like: '/_ah/img/eq871HJL_bYxhWQbTeYYoA' and that is the .fromAction you have to put in your form from step one. You need to update the form's action every time so i suggest the following:
public void initBlobStoreSession()
{
imageService.getBlobStoreUploadURL(new AsyncCallback()
{
#Override
public void onSuccess(String result) {
uploadFormPanel.setAction(result);
System.out.println("Upload Form Panel Action set");
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
//oops
}
});
}
So when you submit your fromPanel, IT WILL UPLOAD THE BLOB and you dont have to do anything, the tricky part is how to get the blob:
What you need to do now is create the YYY servlet we where talking about in step 4.
In the post method, this is important:
private BlobstoreService blobService = BlobstoreServiceFactory.getBlobstoreService();
Map<String, BlobKey> blobMap = blobService.getUploadedBlobs(request);
BlobKey blobKey = blobMap.get(UPLOAD_WIDJET_NAME);
UPLOAD_WIDJET_NAME is the .setName for the FileUpload widjet.
What you are doing there is getting a key for yout BLob so you can reference it later.
Our next step is showing the uploaded image back to the GWT layer:
//In the same post method from step 7
ImagesService imagesService = ImagesServiceFactory.getImagesService();
String imageURL = imagesService.getServingUrl(blobKey);
response.sendRedirect("/XXX/YYY?imgURL="+imageURL);
Now in the get method:
String imageUrl = request.getParameter("imgURL");
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
response.getWriter().println(imageUrl);
We are done, now you just have to
uploadFormPanel.addSubmitCompleteHandler(new SubmitCompleteHandler() {
#Override
public void onSubmitComplete(SubmitCompleteEvent event) {
uploadFormPanel.reset();
initBlobStoreSession();
String imageUrl = event.getResults();
Image image = new Image();
image.setUrl(imageUrl);
//if you are using jetty, leave this on
//or else it wont work
//Don't use GWT.getModuleBaseURL(), it doesnt
//work well in development mode
imageUrl.replace("http://0.0.0.0:8888/", "");
System.out.println(imageUrl);
final PopupPanel imagePopup = new PopupPanel(true);
imagePopup.setWidget(image);
// Add some effects
imagePopup.setAnimationEnabled(true); // animate opening the image
imagePopup.setGlassEnabled(true); // darken everything under the image
imagePopup.setAutoHideEnabled(true); // close image when the user clicks
imagePopup.center(); // center the image
}
});
check out upload4gwt which address uploading in GWT on AppEngine.
(disclosure: I created upload4gwt; it's not mature yet, however may be useful)
I had the same problem. As a workaround I'm using a redirection to a servlet that print a status message for the client to parse.
I'm passing the websafe string representation of the key to that result servlet.
That's a bit hackey, I'd like someone to come with a better answer, or explain why the blobstore servlet have to redirect.
Yeah, things get more complicated with uploads in GWT.
You can save the form data and image in separate RPCs, and either include a status message in the response to the image upload, or fire off a 3rd RPC when the form returns to get any status or metadata you need.
