Attaching files to a web form

please tell me how to attach files to a web form for uploading. i know how to make a page that just uploads a file. but before i do it, i have to attach files( sent by a pop-up window ) to a web form in a main window. There are some resources about uploading files, but not for attaching files to a web form... please help me...
Thanks in advance...

I gotcha!
Try this:
1) Open new window with file inputs within a std form.
2) Have form submit to servlet
3) Have servlet retrieve file(s) and save them in session.
4) Have servlet spit out javascript to close popup window and refresh main page (which will then show some sort of verification that the files were received.
5) When main form is submitted, retireve (and remove) files from the session and process.
Hope that helps,

How I can attach files on a Web Form

Hi everybody,
When I add a document on a web form, the document I have to attach from the workspace directory... the server is on Linux ... instead of put the files on linux server, exists the possibility to parameterize a local directory to be easier to attach the file.....???? Or Sombeone knows about a link to see some information about my question.
Regards

Hi,
You can attach documents at two steps.
1. Go to Explore screen at workspace, import file(s) to workspace via (file->import). Make sure you defined necessary security on the folder and document alike.
2. Go to Planning, open a form, select a cell, click on "Add/Edit document" button, follow the steps and choose the file that you want to attach from workspace.
There is no dependency for attaching documents on the OS.

How to remove attached files from an interactive Form?

Hi,
is it possible to delete all the attached files from an interactive form?
I'm able to extract all the files and store them separately. But I found no way to store the interactive form without attachments.
There is a method called SET_ATTACHMENTS, but transferring an empty table is not allowed.
What should I do?
Code:
*     Create PDF Object.      lo_pdfobj = lo_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = l_dest ).
*     Set document.      lo_pdfobj->set_document( pdfdata = iv_filecontent ).
*     Set task to get attachments.      lo_pdfobj->set_task_getattachments( ).
*     Execute, call ADS.      lo_pdfobj->execute( ).
*     Get result.      et_attachments = lo_pdfobj->get_attachments( ).
Regards,
Mario

Any ideas?

Can you auto-attach files in a PHP form?

Hi there,
Have been looking over everywhere for a solution to my problem. I am going to try and be as clear as I can about the problem.
I have had some experience making simple PHP forms that let the user put their name, email, subject and body text and send it in an email using the form.
But for a project I am currently undertaking - the client has requested a form that will pre-attach a particular document to the email when it is sent. All the user has to do is input the email address of the adressee and their name/email address and all the other fields are custom made (i.e. subject, body text) - and the email will be sent to the selected recepient with the file already attached.
I was envisaging the PHP script would collect the reference for a file that is already sitting on the web server and attach it in the function.
Is there anyway to do this? Because if it isn't I may as well tell the client to go and use outlook - because the web form will really have no purpose.
Thanks in advance

Hi have proceeded along the path of inserting links
into PHP generated email but I am having trouble in outputting the body message in HTML - All I get out
in the output email is the HTML tags with the text (plain text).
Did some research and found out that I have to determine the content type/charset.
I have tried to do this in my PHP but to no avail. Also I am not getting the email or name of the sender in the email that is generated....
Anyway, there is the PHP code (and it's not that tight but it works):
AND SOME DEFAULT TEXT THAT WILL CONTAIN LINKS TO NECESSARY FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
link to PDF '.$field_message; $headers = 'From: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; /* If your e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $mail_to)) { ?>
Any help on this would be much appreciated....
Thanks

Attach files to the adobe form : offline

<u>Hi all,</u>
<b>NW04S
SPS8
We have the above mentioned.</b>
My requirement is to create an interactive form, that should have the ability to attach files offline. This means that the user of the form will have no access to the SAP system and should be able to attach supporting documents with the help of the adobe form itself, only.
How can this be done?
Is there any solution available to this or we still have to wait for forthcoming support packages?
<u>Regards.</u>
<i>Ali</i>

In Web Dynpro for Java, this function will be available with SPS 10, on the ABAP side it will probably not be available before SPS 12.
For SPS schedules of SAP NetWeaver, go to <a href="http://service.sap.com/ocs-schedules">http://service.sap.com/ocs-schedules</a> > Basis, ABA, R/3 Support Package Schedule

Attaching files to a PDF form and Submission.

I'm pretty new to LC (hence the sn) and running into a little problem. Currently, I have created a form that allows the attachment of files. Everything is fine and dandy as I am able to ADD, OPEN and DELETE any file as I'm filling out the form. However, when I SUBMIT the form in an email to myself, the submitted PDF form does not have any of the files attached to the form. What am I not doing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm responding on behalf of AdobeNoobie122...
Thanks for your response Paul. I’m currently using LC to develop/run the PDF. It is in the PDF that I attach the files associated with my form and submit to myself. Upon receiving the email, I notice the PDF is present without any of the attachments. And yes, I am submitting the entire PDF and not a data file.

Attaching file to a Order form by UDF - SAPB1 2007A

Hi,
I would like to know if there away to attach files (*.PDF) to a Order Form as same as the activities tab in the Service Form.
It can be done by using UDF but I don't know how .
SapB1 version 2007A
Thanks
Erez

You can attach your form to the activitiy and link the activity to the order, or , you can create a UDF of type Link, then from the UDF, navigate to the document you want to attach and create the link. In some versions of 2007A there is a bug that will recreate a copy of your file in the attachments path however, so do watch for that.

Generate doc file through a web form (using Developer Server 6i)

Can anyone tell me is it possible to make a web form generate a doc file on the middle tier (Developer Server machine)?

sample usage:
CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_POST'
    EXPORTING
      ABSOLUTE_URI                = IM_OFX_CONTROL_DATA-ADDRESS
      REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH = RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH
      RFC_DESTINATION             = IM_OFX_CONTROL_DATA-HTTP_RFCDEST
      USER                        = IM_OFX_CONTROL_DATA-HTTP_USER
      PASSWORD                    = IM_OFX_CONTROL_DATA-HTTP_PASSWORD
      BLANKSTOCRLF                = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      STATUS_CODE                 = STATUS
      STATUS_TEXT                 = STATUS_TEXT
      RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY_LENGTH = RLENGTH
    TABLES
      REQUEST_ENTITY_BODY         = LT_REQUEST
      RESPONSE_ENTITY_BODY        = RESPONSE
      RESPONSE_HEADERS            = LT_RESPONSE_HEADERS
      REQUEST_HEADERS             = LT_HTTP_HEADERS
   EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS                      = 1.
Refer the programs:
LFPIFF02

LSFTPU09
for some idea.

Best Practice/Standard for Securing and Attaching Files in a Web Service

Thanks in advance.
Being new to Web Services as well as most of my team. I would like to know what is the best practice for transporting files via a Web Service. I know of several methods and one that seems to be the standard, but you can't really tell in this ever changing world of Web Services. Below are the options that I have found.
1. MIME encoded the file and embed in the payload of the SOAP message
2. SwA (SOAP with Attachments) which applies MIME attachments to SOAP. I think this is similiar to the way emails are handled.
3. DIME (Direct Internet Message Encapsulation) similiar to MIME encoding but is more efficient
4. MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) I really not understand this method, but it seems that this is the NEW standard. I just don't understand why.
5. Utilize HTTPS and download the file from an accessible file server w/ a login id and password.
Is there someone out there that understands this problem and can assist me in understanding the pros and cons of these methods? Or maybe there is a method that I'm overlooking altogether.
Thanks

JWSDP supports securing of attachments [1]and will soon support securing MTOM attachments too. [1]http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/2.0/xws-security/ReleaseNotes.html

JSP : latest JSTL, File Upload from web form Client to Server Question!

I understand that within a JSP, It is possible to read a file from the Client by opening a Stream somehow.
How do I code, within jsp/servlet (non tag) java code inside <% %>
blocks, WITHOUT openening a new connection to the URL, an InputStream from a client web browser form, from a file upload coded using
<input type="file" name="file1"/> ?
I have previously achieved this quite simply with a FileInputStream
with the previous version of JSTL.
How may I do this with the latest version of JSTL, with this index.jsp?
-with a simple text file.
-with a Binary file (with DataInputStream)?

If I have:

<form name="form1" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="file1" type="file"/>
<input name="submit1" type="submit" value="Submit" action="index.jsp"/>
</form>

and run this in an index.jsp, use browse to select my text file, and click SUBMIT.
I can use:
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream()))
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
bufferedReader.readLine();...
However, these is some HTML/POST related content around what multiple readLine();
calls return.
Is there an easy way, like using "${param.file1}",
aside from [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/|http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/],
maybe using servlet style code, to get the File contents from a remote Client,
to the remote Server servlet engine, AVOIDING ANY SUPERFLUOUS CONTENT,
using version 1.12 of the JSTL, JSP 2.0,Tomcat 6?
Just politely, yes, no, and how?

Is there a way to attach files linked in FormCentral form to email notifications?

As part of my FormCentral form design, the end User is required to link a file (copy of Purchase Order). Is there a way of forcing this file to attach to the email notifications? I can obviously see the file attachments in the backend and download from there, but it would be preferable if I could deliver with the email notification to circumvent other processes.
Any suggetsions?

Sorry this is not possible to have the files attached to the email notification.

All excel attachment files in Outlook web app (email) are renamed "attachment.ashx", losing their original file names. Why? And how do I fix this?

While the email displays the attachment with the "original file name.xls", when I click and download, it is called "attachment.ashx", and I lose all the original downloaded file names. This started happening about 3 weeks ago after a Firefox update. Suggestions for a fix?

Outlook Web Access sends illegal Content-Disposition headers and this is no longer allowed in Firefox 8. The server needs to be fixed.

How to display attached file size in XML Forms

Hi,
I've created a XML form to store presentations general information like author, subject, summary and a RID field pointing to the ppt file itself.
I'd like to show the size of the ppt file but I don't know how... Any ideas?
When I use default:size property, the size showed is the XML size, not the ppt size.
thanks,
Marcelo

Hello Sudip,
Which is the JRE version which you are using ? Check this SAP note 1341069, which specifies that the properties will not load when JRE 1.6 is used. (Try 1.4 or 1.5 )
For author field try giving caption $sap_user, and schema reference, creator. For created which is date try giving /Properties/default:created, and /Properties/default:createdby for created by.
Regards,
Vinod

File Attachment field on web form

Hello all
A really simple question but I cant seem to work it out. I have added a file attachment field to a web form but when somebdy uploads a image using this form my client does not get the file. I assumed it would go to his email but this does not seem to be the case? Is there a way that I can direct this files to a location or email account?
Any info would be great
regards
Martin

Because of the posibility of big files (up to 100mb) being stored sending those through emails is basiclaly not possible for the most part - they are emails. Even Google Gmail has a top out of 25mb which is bigger then most.
The file is stored agaisnt the case in the system. The file in the workflow mentioned should at least be a link you click through to get the file via the admin. If not you click the case link and get it in there anyway.
