Re: Serving up a Flash file
Another way of responding to your question would be to say that your conclusion about Mr. Bainbridge's remarks is only true if you let the web server do all the work in retrieving the file. Then, of course, the reading of the entire request URL must be with the server. That is what you seem to have assumed must happen. But, that is not necessary. That is not, in my opinion, even desirable, because it ties your web application to the logic and the relationship between the browser and the web server. The web application ideally should be decoupled from those assumptions, even if they are usually not.

Re: Serving up a Flash file
You need to break things down and to see what the browser is doing, what your server is doing, what the web application is doing and what your business logic is doing. These all have differing parts to play in this kind of a situation. The "URL" is merely the communication between the browser and your web server. Your web server can cooperate with your web application and do anything it wants independent of the actual "URL" returned. The HTTP URL is not like a FILE address. I use a Struts action, which involves a URL like "resource.do?file=whatever.swf". My web server, being aware I am running Struts, notices that the URL ends in .do and sends the URL to the Struts controller class, ActionServlet. The Struts ActionServlet, having read the configuration details for "resource.do", sends the request to a class I call ResourceAction. ResourceAction is a request processing class that retrieves resources like swf files and returns them as an output stream to the client browser. ResourceAction does not care about the restrictions the server has in grabbing files and can go anywhere on my server. ResourceAction sees the name/value pair "file=whatever.swf" and uses preprogrammed logic to go get the called "whatever.swf". You can do this a lot of different ways. This is one. Do you understand? It is best to get an idea of how it all works. This takes a while. You will get it but you have to make sure you understand what is happening, if you want to keep from being confused.

Re: Serving up a Flash file
Your conclusion is not correct. What Mr. Bainbridge told you is true, but that does not restrict where you can store the files on the server. > So, if I understand you (and remember > I'm a bit dense) it's just not possible, via the "embed/object" tag to > specify/access a file that doesn't reside in the directory hierarchy > that JBoss/Tomcat serves files from. > -- The radiance of all the stars does not equal a sixteenth part of the moon's radiance, likewise, good deeds giving us merit, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the merit of loving-kindness.. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Odd temp file being created: "+~JF38289.tmp"
I hope that this is a Tomcat question. I am using Tomcat 5.0 and
Struts 1.2.6. I am getting a temp file seemingly related to my fonts
whenever I dynamically create new image buttons on the fly, which I do
on almost all pages, and then cache them. My code to get the fonts,
reading from .ttf files, is as follows:
public synchronized static Font getFont(String fontLogicalName,
Map attributes) {
Filefile = null;
Fontfont = null;
FileInputStream fontStream = null;
String physicalName = null;
String familyName = null;
boolean realValue= true;
physicalName = (String)fonts.get(fontLogicalName + "FONT");
familyName = (String)fonts.get(fontLogicalName + "FAMILY");
attributes.put(TextAttribute.FONT,fontLogicalName);
attributes.put(TextAttribute.FAMILY,familyName);
if(physicalName == null) {
try {
font = new Font(attributes);
} catch (Exception e) {
// ERROR HANDLING
}
}
try {
file = new File(MY_CLASSPATH_TO_FONT_FILE);
fontStream = new FileInputStream(file);
font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,fontStream);
font = font.deriveFont(attributes);
fontStream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
// ERROR HANDLING
} catch (IOException ioe) {
// ERROR HANDLING
} catch (FontFormatException ffe) {
// ERROR HANDLING
}
return font;
}
Does anyone see why I am getting these files? Is this Tomcat related?
The names are like "+~JF38289.tmp". Any help?
