Am using spring mvc and working on file upload. I get the file name successfully passed to my controller and it is of type MultiPartFile. But it is returning only the file name. But i need the path of the file also. Can anyone help me?
From Spring documentation.
"MultipartFile.getOriginalFilename()
This may contain path information depending on the browser used, but it typically will not with any other than Opera."
However what you are asking could be a security concern as you can get file system info in full path beside browser don't generally pass this information. check answer by craigd and others in another question 1130560

In my asp.net web application, I read the xml file for obtaining a key. If file is not present I show a form to enter the key details and then create the file.
First problem: My app does not recognize the file even if its there.
Second problem: I am running application on the server. When writing, rather overwriting the file, browser shows the username, password prompt before writing the file. If I enter admin credentials it allows to create a file.
I have checked all possible combinations of permissions on the file / folders, but could not resolve the problem.
Any ideas, what I could be missing here?
You read the xml file but is it as a part of your solution? If yes, are you reading it through relative path i.e. are you using Server.MapPath to read it like Server.MapPath("~/Files.test.xml")? Once you use relative path, I don't think it will ask you credentials as it still is in your project directory.
It should work. I am also reading and writing files in my web application.
If it still does not work, please tell me the way you are reading file.
Thanks,
In a web form (aspx) I want to ask the user for the path of a file that needs to be used by one of our team.
At first it was a simple textbox but a lot of people send us wrong path (copy/paste seemed too hard for them).
So I tried to use an input file to be sure the path exists but noticed that the file is then send with the form. As the files can weight hundreds of Mb that was not acceptable.
Then I found a way with Jquery to use the input file to get the path of the file without sending it : it works fine on IE but Chrome translate the path in "fakepath". I understand that it is for security reasons.
So I am again looking for a solution, working on all browser, to get from the user the path of a file (with a specific extension) without him being able to write a wrong path.
I hope someone will have the brillant idea I am unable to find :-).
How about receiving only a few kilobytes of the file data from stream instead of the whole file to ensure the path points to a valid file.
How do I access resources in a .Net Web Project. I created a web project and then in App_LocalResources folder added a resx file "AstroWap.resx". Now how do I access values from that. The property My.Resources itself is not available.
Good reference reading to use resource files here
To create an access properties - right click your solution, select properties then click the link to create a resource file. You should see a excel type grid. Type your key value pairs in there.
To access it should be
<Namespace>.Properties.Resources.<ResourceName>
The issue is probably how you have added the resource. It might have circumvented the auto generated code which gives you the above syntax
You can check if it has added the auto gen code by looking in your web project under properties -> resources.resx -> resource.cs.designer. The designer file is the autogenerated file and you can see the access code for the underlying resx file. This assumes you have used the default resx file as above. See image for example in solution explorer
In addition this SO question does give more options for accessing resx files if you have some project constraints. I appreciate not everyone can do the above due to team work practices etc.. It's just what I do. And it does work.
Use following code for it:
<%=GetLocalResourceObject("labelname")%>
in aspx page.
If your page name is Test.aspx then your resource file must have name as Test.aspx.resx, otherwise you can not access the resource file value.
I ask about it here - Asp.net mvc - get full file name of uploaded file but they understood me wrong. Therefore I ask again.
Is it possible to get full file name of uploaded file in asp.net mvc?! For example, "C:\path\path2\fileName3.txt". I need to get "C:\path\path2\fileName3.txt". I think it's impossible.
See this image for details.
It depends on the browser. For some browser (like FF) sending to much information to the server is a security breach. You can read more here.
I'm working on an ASP.NET web application for our corporate intranet users. I have a form where a user should provide a path to the file on the local network (something like "\localServer\someFolder\someFile.ext") without uploading the actual file. The issue is that users don't want to type the whole file path and want to use some kind of visual browse dialog.
The standard HTML <input type=file> element allows to browse for a file, but most of the browsers (except for IE) don't allow to access file's full path, so I think it should be done by some external component like Silverlight, Flash, Java applet etc.
I tried to do it with Silverlight, but I'm getting a SecurityException when trying to access file's full path using Silverlight's OpenFileDialog class.
This java applet http://jumploader.com/demo_images.html seems to do something similar to what I'm looking for, but it's focused on uploading files - I only need to be able to get file's full path and pass it to the server as a string.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Telerik ASP.NET AJAX RadFileExplorer has the functionality you're looking for:
http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer.aspx
You can use their Custom File Content Provider to hook the GUI to your server's file system.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/examples/server-sideapi/dbfilebrowsercontentprovider/defaultcs.aspx
This should be possible with Flash's uploading capabilities. SWFUpload has an API that you may be able to access from JavaScript to extract the selected file name without actually uploading anything. See docs here, for example getFile():
getFile is used to retrieve a File Object from the queue. The file retrieved by passing in a file id (the id property from a file object) or a file index (the index property from a file object).
