Does anyone know how I can get a listing of the contents of a directory on the server side.
I want my applet to display a list of images which are available for download, and show
thumbnails of the images. The problem is that the number of images and the filenames
of the images will change with time.
I tried this function as a test
static private void getnames()
{
URL myurl = new URL ( "http://www/java/" ) ;
URLConnection myconn = myurl.openConnection() ;
System.out.println (myconn.getContentType() );
Object myobject = myconn.getContent() ;
System.out.println ( myobject ) ;
}
but I received the following error message
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException sun/net/www/content/text/html
at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java)
at mypaint.getnames(mypaint.java:60)
at mypaint.main(mypaint.java:28)
java/io/InputStream.java/io/FilterInputStream.sun/net/www/MeteredStream[expected=525, count=0, url=java/net/URL, closed=?00000000, in=java/io/InputStream.java/io/FilterInputStream.java/io/BufferedInputStream]
It seems the html content class does not exist. Has anyone written these classes, or are they
easy to write.
Any help would be gratefully received.
