Hello!
I have written a method, which retrieves the file path over the FileUploadButton and saves it in my datasource.
Is there a way to implement a link or linkButton directly into the column which opens this file from my local directory or server directory?
I’ve googled a lot and studied the Cuba Documentation, but found nothing comparable.
I’m also a real Java beginner.
Hi Lukas,
generally opening files from the local filesystem is a problem from a security perspective in the context of a browser. Generally you can take a look at this SO question, which is pretty much what you are asking:
So the bottom line is: use a normal link with the protocol “file:///”. But how it will be opened / downloaded is up to the browser. You can do that in any framework which produces some form of HTML pages (and in CUBA as well :))
If you have any specific question on how to do it in CUBA, don’t hesitate to ask… 
Bye
Mario
