I am trying to open a video file with xuggle like this:
if (container.open(in, null) < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("could not open file: ");
}
The problem happened when i use mp4 file and i passed to open a InputStream:
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(filename);
In this case IContainer.open remains blocked and does not return anything.
However if I pass a file name to the open method or I use the flv format, it works fine.
I have to use InputStream with an mp4 file.
Can someone help me to find the problem?
In case some other person runs across this issue, I'll say what I did that fixed my problem:
Instead of opening from an InputStream, I opened the file directly used
if (container.open(filename, IContainer.Type.READ, null) < 0)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Could not open file: " + filename);
}
I hope this helps somebody that encounters this problem later. Cheers.
you need to use InputOutputStreamHandler
e.g.
File initialFile = new File(filename);
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(initialFile);
InputOutputStreamHandler handler = new InputOutputStreamHandler(is);
int result = container.open(handler, IContainer.Type.READ, null);
if (result < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("could not open file: "
+ filename);

this is my directory structure
Inside the server I have the following code for saving a file that gets sent from the client
fileName = reader.readLine();
DataInputStream dis = null;
try {
dis = new DataInputStream(csocket.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
buffer = new byte[4096];
int fileSize = 15123;
int read = 0;
int totalRead = 0;
int remaining = fileSize;
while((read = dis.read(buffer, 0, Math.min(buffer.length, remaining))) > 0) {
totalRead += read;
remaining -= read;
fos.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
fos.close();
dis.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
break;
I'm wondering how I would go about saving the file within the xml folder? I've tried using getClass().getResource and such but nothing seems to work.
fileName is just a simple string containing the name of the file, not a path or anything.
I get the correct path using this code:
File targetDir = new File(getClass().getResource("xml").getPath());
File targetFile = new File(targetDir, fileName);
targetFile.createNewFile();
System.out.println(targetFile.getAbsolutePath());
dis = new DataInputStream(csocket.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(targetFile.getAbsolutePath(), false);
But it still won't save it there...
The best way is to receive explicitly the target path for storing files, either through a .properties file or a command-line argument. In this way, you make your program flexible to be installed and adapted in different environments.
But if you wish your program to assume the target directory automatically, the best option is to set a relative path before creating the FileOutputStream, as long as you start your program always from the same path:
File targetDir=new File("xml");
File targetFile=new File(targetDir, fileName);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(targetFile);
This will work assuming the program is started from server as current directory.
Update
Other minor suggestions about your program:
Never base the exit condition of the loop on a hard-coded file size, because it is not possible to know it a priori. Instead, check explicitly if the value returned by read is less than 0 => that means End Of File reached.
Consequently, do not bother to calculate the exact amount of data to get through a call to read. Just enter the buffer size, because you are setting a maximum data size.
Never let exceptions catched without a proper treatment: If you know how to make your program recover, enter a proper code into the catch block. Otherwise, you'd better not catch them: Declare them in the throws clause and let them be propagated to the caller.
Always create stream resources through the try-with-resources instruction, to ensure they got closed at the end:
try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(...))
{
// ... use fos...
}
Save unnecessary instructions: If you don't care about if the file already exists on the filesystem or not, don't call createNewFile. But if you care, check the returned value and bifurcate consequently.
I try to create file and it does created but not at ProjectName\src\com\company\xml but in ProjectName\out\production\ProjectName\com\company\xml
my code:
File targetDir = new File(this.getClass().getResource("xml").getPath());
// get the parent of the file
String parentPath = targetDir.getParent( );
String fileName="xml/name.txt";
//do something
File targetFile = new File(parentPath, fileName);
targetFile.createNewFile();
Just pay attention that after compilation you will try to save it into a jar file and it a complicated thing to do.
usually you need to save file into file outside from your jar(separate in the root) like this:
I am currently working on a "Notepad - type" file for my Object-Oriented Java class. I've got most of the program done - however I am stuck on the following issue:
When the program tries to save a file, it is supposed to first check for a files existence, obviously if the file exists the program will prompt the user for permission to overwrite the existing copy of the file [The overwrite prompt is not written yet, but it will go in the if(selectedFile.exists() == true) portion of code] - and if the file does not exist, the program will create it.
The issue I am having is that the program always creates the file before checking for the files existence. I have looked at probably 20-30+ answers to similar questions - mainly on stackoverflow, and have yet to come across the answer i need. I'm not sure if I am just "not getting it", or if I have really done something wrong..
Any answer - or hint as to where to find the answer - to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Complete code (for the save portion of the program is shown below).
else if(source == saveFile)//-------------------------//SAVE FILE//--------------------------
{
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(System.getProperty("user.home")));
fileChooser.setDialogTitle("JavaPad - Save File");
int result = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(fileChooser);
String myFile;
try
{
if(result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
{
myFile = fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getName();
File selectedFile = new File(myFile);
String[] lines = textArea.getText().split(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
readToSave = new Scanner(lines.toString()); // CANNOT use toString() on an Array - THIS WILL BE CHANGED PROPERLY?
PrintWriter savePWriter = new PrintWriter(selectedFile);
if(selectedFile.exists() == true)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "This file already exists.");
statusLabel.setText("File Save Aborted...");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Creating File: " + myFile);
File newFile = new File(fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getName());
savePWriter = new PrintWriter(newFile);
int i = 0;
while(i < lines.length)
{
savePWriter.append(lines[i] + "\n");
System.out.println("Lines appended = " + i);
i++;
}
savePWriter.flush();
savePWriter.close();
statusLabel.setText("File Saved.");
}
}
else
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Save has been canceled.");
}
}
catch(IOException IOSaveError)
{
System.out.println(IOSaveError);
}
}
You are calling new PrintWriter(selectedFile), which creates the file, right before you check whether selectedFile exists.
Don't create the PrintWriter before checking if the file exists. The PrintWriter is what causes the file to be written to.
You do:
myFile = fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getName();
File selectedFile = new File(myFile);
PrintWriter savePWriter = new PrintWriter(selectedFile); // Creates File! Probably unwanted.
if(selectedFile.exists() == true) // always true because of the line above
By the way, your code is far too complicated. Instead of having the variables selectedFile and newFile, which both are newly created File objects, you could simply use the File object returned by the dialog: newFile = fileChooser.getSelectedFile().
if(selectedFile.exists() == true)
can be simplified to
if (selectedFile.exists())
I recommend to do I/O using try-with-resources whenever possible:
try (final PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(selectedFile)) {
// Use writer
}
This helps with accidentally forgetting to close streams.
I am trying to Compare last modified date of two excel files and replace the old file with new file.
In Scenario : When there is no file in the first place, so the code copies the file to that location and later reads it.
Issue is : It throws a FileNotFound exception when the excel file is not present on the server,even after writing the file to the
server(via code),but the file is not seen on the server. It works on
my machine(windows),but fails when deployed on server.
Again, it works like charm when the file is present on the server,while the old is being replaced by the new file.
Can you please help and explain on why its failing in the above scenario,and only on server ?
if(row.getValue("fileType").toString().equals("xlsx")&&checkindatefolder.after(localdate))
{
messagelist.add("we are going to get the replace file in the server");
InputStream inp=folder.getFile();
ZipInputStream izs = new ZipInputStream(inp);
ZipEntry e = null;
while ((e = izs.getNextEntry()) != null) {
System.out.println("e.isDirectory(): "+e.isDirectory());
if (!e.isDirectory()) {
filename=e.getName();
System.out.println("filename: "+filename);
FileOutputStream os=new FileOutputStream("path"+e.getName());
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int read=0;
System.out.println("writing to file");
while ((read=izs.read(buffer))> 0) {
System.out.println("1111");
os.write(buffer,0,read);
}
System.out.println("writing to file complete");
inp.close();
os.flush();
os.close();
}
}
Do all parts of the path exist?
So in your example:
/u01/app/webapps/out/pj/Create.xlsx
Do all subdirectories exist?
/u01/app/webapps/out/pj
If not, than trying to write there might fail with a FileNotFoundException.
You should create the directories with Files.creatDirectories(Path) first.
In my case I have to download images from the resources folder in my web app. Right now I am using the following code to download images through URL.
url = new URL(properties.getOesServerURL() + "//resources//WebFiles//images//" + imgPath);
filename = url.getFile();
is = url.openStream();
os = new FileOutputStream(sClientPhysicalPath + "//resources//WebFiles//images//" + imgPath);
b = new byte[2048];
while ((length = is.read(b)) != -1) {
os.write(b, 0, length);
}
But I want a single operation to read all images at once and create a zip file for this.
I don't know so much about the use of sequence input streams and zip input streams so if it is possible through these, please let me know.
The only way I can see you being able to do this is something like the following:
try {
ZipOutputStream zip = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("C:/archive.zip"));
//GetImgURLs() is however you get your image URLs
for(URL imgURL : GetImgURLs()) {
is = imgURL.openStream();
zip.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(imgURL.getFile()));
int length;
byte[] b = new byte[2048];
while((length = is.read(b)) > 0) {
zip.write(b, 0, length);
}
zip.closeEntry();
is.close();
}
zip.close();
}
Ref: ZipOutputStream Example
The url should return zip file. Else you have to take one by one and create a zip using your program
I've been trying to understand why my code doesnt work on a zip and it doesnt on another..
THIS zip unzips , and THIS zip doesnt
Here is the code I use:
String zipFile = Path + FileName;
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(zipFile);
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(fin);
ZipEntry ze = null;
while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
UnzipCounter++;
if (ze.isDirectory()) {
dirChecker(ze.getName());
} else {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(Path
+ ze.getName());
while ((Unziplength = zin.read(Unzipbuffer)) > 0) {
fout.write(Unzipbuffer, 0, Unziplength);
}
zin.closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
}
zin.close();
Can anyone tell me why?
The zip doesnt work means that when it reaches the line "while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {".. ze is always null so it doesnt enter the loop so it doesnt extract anything.. I can open+unzip both files with WinRar..
Here's the actual error:
java.io.EOFException
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.readFully(RandomAccessFile.java:383)
at gnu.java.util.zip.ZipFile$PartialInputStream.fillBuffer(ZipFile.java:647)
Looks like your zip file is corrupt. WinRAR tends to ignore some kinds of corruption.
This is a personal gripe of mine - I believe it would be better if tools didn't do that sort of thing, because it means that whoever created the zip file probably doesn't know about the corruption either, and when you tell them, they will be all like, "but it isn't, look .. it opens in [insert broken app here]."
