Hi

Are you reading the file from KM? Where the file is stored?

Hi,

Actually I want to read content from text file and display it as marque. File stored in KM is preferable.

Check the code below. This help you to know how to read the text file content line by line. You can display as you require.

IUser user = WPUMFactory.getServiceUserFactory().getServiceUser("cmadmin_service");

IResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(user);

String filePath = "/documents/....";

RID rid = RID.getRID(filePath);

IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid,resourceContext);

InputStream inputStream = resource.getContent().getInputStream();

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));

String line = reader.readLine();

while(line!=null) {

line = reader.readLine();

//You can append in string buffer to get file content as string object//

}

If you decide not to use KM, then there is a portal component here (https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Portalcomponenttoshowatextfile) which allows fro presenting a text file from the portal file system.

Getting an error when I import

"import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;"

This lives in servlet.jar. It should be on your portal server.

Hi Michael,

I am still stuck up. Not sure where my file would be placed?

By default I read from file.txt in the top level folder of the portal server. So, on a Windows server where the portal is installed on d:, it will be the file d:\file.txt.

You can vhange this value when you make an iView from the component.
