How to List Files and Subdirectories in a Directory?

--
Here an example uses File class to retrive all files and subdirectories under the root.
public static void main(String[] argv){
    File dir = new File("c:\\");
    String[] children = dir.list();
    if (children != null) { 
      for (String filename: children) {
        out.println(filename);
      }
    }
    else {
      out.println("No File Found.");
    }
}
  
Here is an example showing how to return subdirectories only. From java.io.File Java API doc, a list of files can also be retrieved as array of File objects.
class DirectoryFileFilter implements FileFilter
{
  public boolean accept(File file) {
 return file.isDirectory();
  }
}
public class ListSubdirectory {
  public static void main(String[] argv){

    File dir = new File("c:\\");
    File[] files = dir.listFiles(new DirectoryFileFilter());
    if (files != null) {
      for (File file: files) {
        out.println(file.getName());
      }
    } 
    else {
      out.println("No Subdirectory Found.");
    }
  }
}
Here is an example to retrive a set of document file which given file extensions.
class MyDocFileFilter implements FileFilter
{
  private final String[] myDocumentExtensions 
               = new String[] {".txt", ".doc", ".html", "htm"};

  public boolean accept(File file) {
  
 if (!file.isFile())
  return false;

    for (String extension : myDocumentExtensions) {
      if (file.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(extension))
        return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
}

public class ListMyDocuments {
     
  public static void main(String [] argv){
    File dir = new File("c:\\");
    File[] files = dir.listFiles(new MyDocFileFilter());
    if (files != null) {
      for (File file: files) {
        out.println(file.getName());
      }
    } 
    else {
      out.println("No File Found.");
    }
  }

}

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

WebSphere MQ Series Tutorial

MQ Series : - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS :-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note : - MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\IBM\Eclipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have QUEUES CHANNELS PROCESS AUTHENTICATION QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects : - objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maint...
