Hello,
is there a way in java to know the cd-rom drive letter ( D, E, ... ) and check if there is a cd in the drive?

Thank you.

Hello All,

i don not know if this is the right section to pass this post in.

I am writing a java web start application that display images from the server. These images are protected by apache (https) and i changed the authentication type for the directory that contains the images to 'BASIC' so that i can pass the user name and password from the url.

When i try to launch the image from the browser it works, but when i am launching the jws it will prompt me for the user name and password although it is contained in the url.

Any one have any idea?

hello
thank you very much for your reply.
i am not using the ant tool, i am building the jars with the jar tool. i will give you more details.

-first i am using linux.
-i have built the jar files using
jar -cvfm name.jar manifest.mf pckg
-then i have used the keytool to create the key like this.
keytool -genkey -alias raed -keypass raedpass -keystore tmpkey
it prompted me for the alias password and i made it raedpass.
-then i used the jarsigner tool like this.
jarsigner -keystore tmpkey -storepass raedpass -keypass raedpass name.jar raed

that is it, now what i want is to be able to read file from the client system, is that possible?

should i copy the jars to the client machine? or just put them on the server?

Thanks.

Hello all.
i have been tired searching for this, and i didn't find the answer.

what exactly should i do to sign a jar file? and where to place the signed jar?

i have created a keystore using the keytool and used it in the jarsigner but still i can't read files from the client's system!!!

any one has an answer?

Thanks.
Raed

use filters ,,,
************
File dir=new File(File_Path+File_Name);
File[] list;
FileFilter filter=new FileFilter(){
public boolean accept(File file) {
return file.isDirectory();
}
};

list=dir.listFiles(filter);
************
this will get you all directories,,,,

replace "return file.isDirectory();" with "return file.isFile();" to list the files instead

The way it is executed, it may not have opened anywhere. To do that, you need to execute a shelltool or xterm first -- which then can run the "vi" command.

thanx for answering,,
what do you mean by you need to execute a shelltool or xterm first???

any example code plz???

I'm writing a console application that draw a screen and show all of it's contents files "available files" the user will choose the wanted file with arrows,, and when his/her wanted file is highlighted he can press return "enter" to open his/her file with the "vi" editor.....

i wrote this for proop of concepts

************
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process ps = rt.exec("vi test.txt");
OutputStream os = ps.getOutputStream();
InputStream is = ps.getInputStream();
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(os);
dos.writeBytes("i");
dos.writeBytes("test");
dos.writeBytes("\u001B");
dos.writeBytes(":wq\n");
dos.flush();
ps.waitFor();
dos.close();
System.out.println(ps.exitValue());
****************
and a "test.txt" file has been created with a inner-text "test".....

i don't want to get the output stream for the Process to wrtie on the file,,, i hope if i can display it for theuser to do his/her modifications


thanx again
