Directory Conents from URL

Posted: Sep 27, 2005 10:31 PM

Hi
I am using URL to get a list of a particulat directory via http port some thing like ..

String urlStr = "http://localhost:9090/logs/MEMORY.txt"
URL url = new URL(urlStr);

is it possible to get the Entire directory listing by specifying the Directory URL say

String urlStr = "http://localhost:9090/logs/
URL url = new URL(urlStr);

Or there any other way I can acieve the same.

Thanks in advace.

I've never done this before, but I'm sure there is a
simpler solution than using URL. Pretty much the
way the JFileChooser manages to locate every file
that is in a current directory. If I were you
I would google the algorithm for JFileChooser
(it might be a dead-end though).

Here's another suggestion/question, wouldn't the
javax.naming package be capable of doing this?

Thanks for the reply.

I found a solution for the problem actually JFileChooser works on the Local Directory. And for that purpose File Class has a the relevent APIs for the same.

The way I did it is

String urlStr = "http://localhost:9090/logs/";
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
java.net.URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.connect();

java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader
(new java.io.InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String line;
();
for (; (line = in.readLine()) != null; ) {
{
}
.........

This way you can get the Entire Listing.
