Since from the 4 days i have been trying to find out the path for the uploaded file. I think it wont possible. Can any one tell me how to get the uploaded file path in java web application. Is there any external API to get the uploaded file path? And my project is google app engine type project. Please some one answer it.
As you can't write to the file system it's likely you can't do whatever it is you are trying to do. So you need to use one of the storage options available instead, likely GCS.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/googlecloudstorageclient/
Google Cloud Storage is useful for storing and serving large files.
Additionally, Cloud Storage offers the use of access control lists
(ACLs), and the ability to resume upload operations if they're
interrupted, and many other features. (The GCS client library makes
use of this resume capability automatically for your app, providing
you with a robust way to stream data into GCS.)

I'm a beginner and have never dealt with cloud-based solutions yet before, so apologies for the dumb question.
I have an Azure Blob Storage containing PDF files from which I want to extract data using PDFBox. Because PDFbox can't load blobs directly, I currently download these files locally first. However, eventually my project will need to become fully Cloud-based, preferably as an Azure Function.
The main hurdle therefore is figuring out how my Azure Function should access the files. When using the console inside my Azure Function I noticed it comes with a file storage. Can the Function download blobs and store them here before processing it? Does this file storage work the same as a local environment or are there differences to keep in mind?
I'm only looking to store files temporarily here, for only a few minutes at a time.

Yes, all of the information of your deployed azure function is stored in the file storage you set.(It is defined when you create the function app.)
Can the Function download blobs and store them here before processing
it? Does this file storage work the same as a local environment or are
there differences to keep in mind?
Yes, you can. And the root directory is D:/home/site/wwwroot. So if you don't specify, the file you create will be in this directory.
Remember to delete the files, because the storage space is limited. It is based on the plan you selected.

minutes at a time.
By the way, if you get a file from blob storage, at this time you have completely got its data. You can process the obtained data directly in the code without temporarily storing it in the current folder. (Of course, if you have special needs, please ignore this one.)
You can use a blob trigger or input binding to load a blob into memory of your function for processing by PDFBox.
With regards to the local file system, you can read about more about it here. From the description of your problem I think a blob trigger or input binding should be sufficient for you.
Android Api 29 has big changes regarding files and folders.
I have not found a way so far to create a folder in the internal storage that is public visible.
Every folder I create can be seen by my app only.
I write an app that creates data files that shall be picked up by other apps, for instance the Total Commander to copy them to a destination.
Everything worked fine until I activated Api 29. Some of my clients DO use pixel phones and they use Android 10.
How can I create a folder and files in Android 10 that are public?
This has been deprecated:
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(type);
and when I use
File root = context.getExternalFilesDir(null);
The created files can only be seen by my app.
How can I achieve the behavior that was valid before Android 10?
Thanks in advance.
when I use File root = context.getExternalFilesDir(null); The created files can only be seen by my app
They can be seen by any app that uses the Storage Access Framework (e.g., ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT), if the user chooses the document that you place in that directory.
I write an app that creates data files that shall be picked up by other apps
Other apps have no access to external or removable storage on Android 10, except in the limited directories like getExternalFilesDir() or via non-filesystem means (ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, MediaStore).
How can I create a folder and files in Android 10 that are public?
Use getExternalFilesDir() and related methods on Context. Or, use ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT or ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE and use the Storage Access Framework. In either case, the resulting documents can be used by other apps that also use the Storage Access Framework.
Starting from Android 10, you should use SAF, and let user choose the directory using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE.
If you need a simple example. You can find it here
Alternatively, you could use requestLegacyExternalStorage = true in manifest when your app is not newly released. But, this is something that should not be used for future release, as this is a short-term solution provided by Google.
Note: In future releases of Android, user will not be able to pick the whole external file directory and Downloads directory, so unfortunately, keep in mind that we are not going to have access to these as well! For more information you can click here
I am creating a web app in google app engine using java which dynamically generate an HTML file. The requirement is such that if the Html file size increases from a certain limit (say 3 mb), then it should be split into two files and zipped together and that zip file should be sent back as the response.
I would like help on how and where to create those temporary HTML files and then zip it, in google app engine as i guess GAE doesnt allow to write on the filesystem.
Please help!!!
You can use the blobstore like a filesystem. Experimentally, they've even added access via the File api!
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/blobstore/overview#Writing_Files_to_the_Blobstore
You could also use the Google Cloud Storage. The advantage of this one is that once the file is produced, you can easily write scripts to manipulate the files through gsutil.
I am working on rewriting a Java web application to Rails which relies heavily on collections (100's or 1000's) of large (50-100MB) TIFF files. In the Java version, the user specifies a local root path (such as a mounted SAN drive) for these files in the application configuration, and they are read by the application using these paths. The application also writes new files to those paths.
Essentially, users must be able to add files to the application in two ways:
1) Specify a storage location as the 'root' for a collection of TIFFs, which could already contain many TIFFs. These are then processed.
2) Upload new files to an existing collection, which would then be written to the above path and processed.
I guess the gist of my question is: What is the standard way to store, retrieve, and write to such large files in the context of web applications? Should the availability of a local file system with enough storage space be assumed, or is there a better way to do it?
I would look into storing the files with paperclip or carrierwave. They are two great file upload and management gems that allow you to store your files in many different ways.
I have included links to two great sceencasts above and here are the github pages for paperclip and carrierwave.
I have a requirement to download multiple files from server and zip them into one file. So that user will have to deal with only one file while downloading.
I need in Java/JSP code or Javascript
It's very easy.
First, allow the user to choose files (if the application requires them to do so).
Then on clicking download create a zipped file dynamically and add all chosen files. Allow the user to download this file.
I'd used Zip functions in PHP for similar functionality in the past.
