Attachments through presentations

Question

Hi,
I needed to be able to attach files to an instance using presentations instead of the regular workspace attachments capability. After some research I found that ALBPM 5.7 had an example of something like this called FileChooserTest so I tried to follow the steps on that example to build my own.
I created a BPM Object called fileHolder wich has two attributes:
fileHolder.file_fileName (String)
fileHolder.file (Binary)
The problem is when I use the next tag in my jsp page:
<input type="file" <f:fieldName att="fileHolder.file"/> value="">
This tag seems to make the jsp page fail. Any ideas why?

Hi Jose,
Try your BPM Object with the attributes:
FileHolder.file (binary)
FileHolder.file_content_type (string)
FileHolder.file_filename (string)
Sure you know this, but I think Lilach Taylor pointed out that initially when you get this to work you'll only be able to get files < 100k (the default). Be sure to increase the workspace.properties file setting "fuego.workspace.servlet.Attachment.MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE" to something larger to get it to work for larger files. If the "file_filename" comes back as a null value, it means your end user picked a file over the limit you set. This provides you a friendly way to tell them to pick a smaller file.
Hope this helps,
Dan
