"Automatic" file uploading

Does anyone know how to do the following:
I know how to do part 1:
1) A user on a website hears a pre recorded verbal question or statement; the user then immediately records a short verbal response by pressing a button on a simple GUI and speaking into their microphone. The microphone records the sound into a file.
I don't know how to do part 2:
2) Upon releasing the button, the file is automatically uploaded to the website without the user having to use the usual HTML upload proceedure (typing the filename into a from field, pressing a separate upload button, etc.) or taking any other action.
The process then repeats.
Just point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

The general URL Networking tutorial should be of use

In the Jakarta Commons there is HTTPClient, which is a programming library for all this kind of thing.

If you can't use it, you can at least dig through the source to see how they did it :-)

Automatic file upload using desktop manager!!

hi everyone! im new to this forum so dont knw how long it will take before people reply. lets give it a shot lol
i just wanted to know if its possible to set up their blackberry manager in such a way that it automatically uploads files to to a computer once connected to a network?
all sugestions will be much appreciated
thanks,
ricky

You're welcome.
Let's start with your device model, you've gotten to post that.
But we gotta have some detail of what you're trying to do. In your first post and thread title you mentioned with using Desktop Manager, then you most recent post says without using any "middleman".
You can use Bluetooth to transfer from the BlackBerry to the PC. You can use Desktop Manager for that, but not for document files like Word. You can use Media Manager for that transfer, but there's another middleman you don't want.
Automatic? Maybe not. Even using a simple application on your PC like SyncToy will require some user interaction.

Automatic File Upload

I'm working on an application that will allow a user to
import a music playlist from a file already saved on their pc.
Since the location of this file is normally set, is there a way to
grab that file without forcing the user to browse to it?
It looks like the download file option has the ability to set
a default file, but all I've seen on the upload talks about using
the browse function as the only way of selecting a file

How to automate files upload?

I have a folder on a shared drive that contains 10 .csv files. The files get updated everyday automatically. I need to upload this 10 files to my SP website everyday at 8AM. Is there any way I could create a workflow to do this ?
(PS I am not allowed to install SP server, so i cannot use Microsoft Visual Studio)

Tapan, unfortunately that script won't work in a scenario where the SharePoint OM isn't available, such as what I took away from Borat's scenario.

File Upload applet not opening in Query Mode

File Upload Applet is opening in Query Mode in Siebel 7.5, where as in Siebel 7.8 its not opening in Query Mode.
Should anything be changed in CFG? or siebel restricted this?

Hi,
There is a property called "Auto Query Mode" in the applet. Check whether this has been set to "New Query" in 7.5. If so the applet will be opening in Query Mode automatically. If this property is blank, in 7.8, the applet will not be opening in Query mode. Check and let me know.

Calendar & File Upload Components - Threadinar6

Hi All,
This is the sixth in the "Threadinar" series , please see Threadinar5 at
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=99473 for details
In this Threadinar we will focus on the
"Calendar" and "File Upload" Components
Let us begin our discussion with the Calendar Component.
Calendar Component
You can drag the Calendar component "calendar component icon" from the Palette's Basic category to a page open in the Visual Designer to create an entry field with an integrated calendar pop-up to help the user pick dates for the field.
You can also drop the calendar on a container component, like a table cell or group box.
After dragging the component to the Visual Designer, you can work with the following useful properties of the Calendar Component:-
General
* id. Type: String
The name of the Calendar component in the page bean and the JSP file.
Appearance
* columns. Type: int
The number of character columns used to render the component. The default value is 20.
* dateFormatPattern. Type: String
The format of the date to be entered by the user. It is not usually necessary to set this property because a pattern is chosen automatically based on the locale.
If you prefer to specify a date format, click the ellipsis button (...) to the right of the property and select a predefined date format from the property editor's list. You can also add your own formats. If you add a format, the values you can enter are limited to some combination of yyyy for the year, MM for the month, and dd for the day separated by separator characters. Typical separator characters are / (slash), . (period), and - (dash). For example, the following date formats are acceptable:
o MM/dd/yyyy
o yyyy.MM.dd
o MM-dd-yyyy
* dateFormatPatternHelp. Type: text
Text that appears below the date entry field and shows the format pattern that the date entry field accepts. If you have not set the dateFormatPattern property, the help text is chosen automatically for you. If you have set the dateFormatPattern property, you should bind the dateFormatPatternHelp property to a localized string that matches the setting for each locale you want to support.
* label. Type: String
A label that appears next to the text entry field, typically describing what the user is supposed to enter.
o Note: The label property is not as flexible as the Label component. You can use the Label component if you want more control over the label's appearance, such as positioning of the label relative to the component.
* labelLevel. Type: int
A number that affects the appearance of the label. 1 (Strong) is larger and bold. 2 (Medium), the default, is smaller and bold. 3 (Weak) is smaller and normal (not bold). This property takes effect only if the label property is set.
* style. Type: String
Cascading Style Sheet rules (CSS level 2) to be applied to the component. For example:
position: absolute; left: 288px; top: 312px
You can enter values directly or click the ellipsis (...) button to use the Style Editor.
o Note: This property overrides any settings in the theme or the project CSS file for this component. If a style specified in this property does not appear to take effect, it is because an area of the component is obscured by a child component that has different style settings.
For a list of CSS2 style attributes, see the web page at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/propidx.html
* styleClass. Type: String
A space-separated list of CSS2 style classes to be applied when the component is rendered. The style classes must be defined in the project's style sheet or in the theme's CSS file. If you click the ellipsis button (...), you see a list of all styles you can add to this property. For information on adding CSS classes and rules to the project's cascading style sheet, see CSS Editor.
o Note: See the note above under the style property description for an explanation of why a class added to this property might appear to have no effect on the component.
o Note: If you add a CSS style class from the current theme to your project CSS file and you redefine the style class, the change affects all components that use this style class. However, you can add your own style classes to the project CSS file that redefine the default style classes, and then when you add them to this property, the changes affect only this instance of this component.
For the defaulttheme.jar CSS style classes for this component, see Calendar Component CSS Classes.
Data
* maxDate. Type: java.util.Date
The last date that the user can select. The default value is four years from the date set in the minDate property, for a total span of five years.
* minDate. Type: java.util.Date
The earliest date that the user can select. The default value is the value of the selectedDate property, which defaults to the current date if that property is not set.
* required. Type: boolean
If selected, the user must enter a value for the calendar before the page can be submitted. If you add a Message component to the page and link its for property to this component, an error message will be displayed if the user tries to submit the page without entering a value.
* selectedDate. Type: Date
A java.util.Date object representing the calendar date selected by the user. If you right-click the component and choose Bind to Data, you can bind this property to a data provider or object that can process the user entered value on the server.
When the component displays initially, if this property is not set, its value defaults to the current date. If you provide values for minDate and maxDate, you can also provide a value for this property that initially displays a date in that range.
* validator. Type: MethodBinding
Indicates the JavaServer Faces validator that is called when the value is submitted. A validator ensures that the correct value is entered by a user. Choose a validator from the drop-down list. If you choose (null), no validator is called. If you choose a validator, also select the required property to ensure that the validator is used. For descriptions of JavaServer Faces validators, see the list of topics at List of Validators.
o Note: If you define your own validate method, for example, by right-clicking the component and choosing Edit Event Handler > validate, any value you might have set in this property is overridden.
File Upload Component
You can drag the File Upload component "file upload component icon" from the Palette's Basic category to the Visual Designer to create an entry field and a browse button that opens a file chooser dialog on the local system, enabling the user either to select a file or to type a file name into the entry field. When the page is submitted, a copy of the file's contents is sent to the web application.
The component is similar to an HTML <input type="file"> element.
* Note: This component is neither supported by nor available in portlet projects due to security reasons.
* Note: The size of the component in the Visual Designer might not match the size of the component when it is rendered in a web browser, making the component appear to line up correctly in the Visual Designer, but not when the page is rendered in the user's web browser. Also, the rendering of this component can differ depending on the web browser. Be sure to test the component in the web browsers that you expect your users to use. For example, if you add a width setting to the style property that is smaller than the setting in the columns property, Internet Explorer observes only the width setting, while the Mozilla browser ignores it and sets the width according to the number of characters in the columns property.
The File upload component uses a filter, a com.sun.rave.web.ui.util.UploadFilter object that is configured for you in the web application's deployment descriptor. The UploadFilter uses the Apache commons fileupload package. You might need to change these settings in the following two cases:
* The server holds the uploaded file in memory unless it exceeds 4096 bytes; otherwise, the server holds the file contents in a temporary file. You can change this threshold by modifying the sizeThreshold parameter for the UploadFilter filter entry in the web application's web.xml file.
* By default, the File Upload component can handle files up to one megabyte in size. You can change the maximum file size by modifying the maxSize parameter for the UploadFilter filter entry in the application's web.xml file.
o
A negative value for the maxSize parameter indicates that there is no file size limit. Setting the parameter to a negative value is not recommended for security reasons. For example, if you allow unlimited file sizes, a malicious user could mount a denial of service attack on your site by using extremely large files
* To change the settings for the UploadFilter object in the web.xml file:
1. In the Files window, expand project-name > web > WEB-INF.
2. Double-click the web.xml node to open the file in the XML editor.
3. Click the Filters toolbar button.
4. In the UploadFilter section under Initialization Parameters, you can change the values for the maxSize and sizeThreshold parameters.
The contents of the uploaded file, together with some information about it, are stored in an instance of com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile. By using this object, you can get the content of the file as a String or write the contents to disk, as well as get properties such as the name and the size of the file. In the interest of conserving memory, the contents and file data are only available during the HTTP request in which the file was uploaded. To access the contents of the uploaded file, bind the uploadedFile property to a bean property of type com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile. Have the setter or an action method process the file.
The UploadedFile interface has methods for getting the name and size of the file, determining the file's MIME type (such as text/plain or image/jpeg), getting the file's contents as bytes or as a String, and writing the contents to disk. To learn more, in the Java editor, right-click on UploadedFile in a declaration statement and choose Show JavaDoc from the pop-up menu.
* To set the component's properties, select the component and edit its properties in the File Upload Properties Window.
* Right-click the component and choose one of the following pop-up menu items:
o Edit validate Event Handler. Opens the Java Editor with the cursor positioned in the component's validate method so you can insert code to validate the value of the component.
o Set Initial Focus. Gives this component focus when the user opens the page.
o Auto-submit on Change. Causes the form to be automatically submitted if the value of the component changes. Sets the component's JavaScript onclick property to common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'component-id');. At runtime, this code causes the form to be automatically submitted if the user changes the component value. Once the form is submitted, conversion and validation occur on the server and any value change listener methods execute, and then the page is redisplayed.
A component configured to Auto-submit on Change can use virtual forms to limit the input fields that are processed when the form is submitted. If the auto-submit component is defined to submit a virtual form, only the participants in that virtual form will be processed when the auto-submit occurs.
o Bind to Data. Bind the component's text property to an object or to a data provider. For more information, see Bind to Data Dialog Box.
o Property Bindings. Bind any of the component's properties to an object or data provider, such as the uploadedFile property to a bean property of type com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile.
o Configure Virtual Forms. Enables you to add the component to a virtual form.

Please share your comments, experiences, additional information, questions, feedback, etc. on these components.

Assigning video files uploaded via a customer form to the src file section of another page (without manually having to copy an paste over)

Hi. I’ve set up a web form that uses html and javascript. This particular form lets you upload files. I also have another page that lets you play videos. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the inner html of for example the upload file form field equal the file that is played by the video player on the other page.
Basically on youtube when you upload a video it automatically makes another page with the video file you uploaded assigned to the video player on that page. I want to know how to go about doing that. So people can upload videos and then be able to watch them instantly without me manually having to create the page an assigning the right file to the page.
Even just knowing how to create a different page each time the form is submitted would be helpful. Thanks.

This is more complex than you realize and JavaScript alone can't do it. You'll need a server-side script like PHP to authenticate and sanitize file uploads to prevent malicious scripts or malware from ever getting to your server. Then, your script will have to process the uploaded file by saving it to a folder or database, give it a unique ID and then redirect users to a new page that pulls the file into an HTML5 or similar player. How good are you with server-side programming?

How to modify the field lengh of file upload

Hi All,
   I am facing a problem with u201Cuploadu201D filed length in BSP application.
When we upload the file in BSP page, the path displayed should be the full path (i.e. from where the file is being upload the file)
Now this field is appearing 20 char length
Now I want to increase the length of the upload field (Input field) to be 100 char so that the path is visible.
In the current application the file upload is being done through a structure (attributes)
In this structure the fields are like this
PAGE_NAME
ID
FOR
TAGS
ROW_INDEX
COLUMN_INDEX
OTR_NAME
REQUIRED_NAME
MAXLENGTH
SIZE
TABLE_NAME
ON_SELECT
VALUE
DISABLED
ONCLICK
TEXT
TYPE
Using this method:
CALL METHOD cl_htmlb_fileupload=>factory
          EXPORTING
            Id      = ls_form_save-id
          RECEIVING
            Element = lv_fileup.
        bee_table->add ( level = 2 element = lv_fileup ).
This cl_htmlb_fileupload is named as class interface.
Which has the CLG_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD (it is a class) it is defined in attributes.
In this class it has the attribute u201CSIZEu201D by default string 20.
Now I need to change this attribute length from 20 to 100
For this I copied the standard class CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD into ZCL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD.
This ZCL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD contains all attributes of the standard class CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD
Including the one class (CLG_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD), this is defined as an attribute (ABOVE MENTIONED?)
This class is appearing in non editable mode, so   I have copied this class into zclass (ZCLG_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD).but still I am not able to edit the attribute called u201Csizeu201D
And also I am not bale to add the zclass in place of the ZCLG_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD
Kindly tell me how to modify the length of the field u201Csize u201Cand also how to add the zclass in the attributes of one class (syntax)
Thanks in advance
Rambabu.A

Hi,
Class CLG_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD is a class automatically generated when a BSP Element is created. You should not change/create such a class, unless by creating your own BSP Element.
As per your requirement, you can use the SIZE parameter of method factory:
ls_form_save-size = '100'.
CALL METHOD cl_htmlb_fileupload=>factory
EXPORTING
Id = ls_form_save-id
Size = ls_form_save-size
RECEIVING
Element = lv_fileup.

File Upload / Download - Advice Required

Hi all,
This is really just a general question, looking for advice.
I have downloaded and successfully used the File Upload PJC for Forms 6i - thanks Oracle.
We are looking to use this to download and upload files from or to the client machine, and I am (relatively) confident of reversing the Java components to allow this to happen.
However, we are actually looking to transfer the files from the client machine, to the 9iAS Tier and then to the UNIX (AIX) tier where the database (8.1.7.4) resides - and vice versa.
I have considered a couple of different approaches :
1. Run the Java Server component in the Database JVM to enable the writing/reading of files on the UNIX filesystem.
2. Use TEXT_IO on the 9iAS tier, and UTL_FILE on the Database Tier, to move files between the two tiers.
3. Write the files to / from the Database, and then from/to there into the UNIX filesystem.
Does anyone have any expereince of attempting to implement a similar solution, or information on Oracle documentation explaining any of the above.
Plus, I'm sure I must be missing a trick !
Any other ideas ??
Regards
Marc Ludwig

We have build a similar solution,
for the download:
we use the pl/sql gateway to send the file to the client with the following function:
wpg_docload.download_File(lob_loc);
you could build a pl/sql procedure that accepts an id and selects the blob locater and
triggers this function. the procedure can be called by setting the configuration in your DAD correctly.
that way its easier then rebuilding the whole fileupload utility.
in the webforms you can have a code that opens a new window with an url you give.
the url will point to the pl/sql function and you can pass the id of the record you want to get the blob from.
for the upload to your database:
well, we chose to loose the zip functionality and modify the pl/sql library that comes with it.
instead of using the uploadserver class, you could build a pl/sql function in the database that
accepts the varchar32 strings (which are base64encoded chunks of your file) and appends them to a blob.
the function that could do that would look like:
PROCEDURE APPEND_DATA(P_ID IN NUMBER, P_DATA IN VARCHAR2) IS
bin_data blob;
append_data blob;
raw_data raw(16384);
BEGIN
dbms_lob.CREATETEMPORARY(append_data,true);
dbms_lob.OPEN(append_data,DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
select binary_data into bin_data from ibs_physical_doc where id=P_ID for update;
raw_data:= utl_encode.BASE64_DECODE(utl_raw.CAST_TO_RAW(p_data));
dbms_lob.write(append_data, utl_raw.LENGTH(raw_data),1,raw_data);
dbms_lob.APPEND(bin_data,append_data);
dbms_lob.CLOSE(append_data);
COMMIT;
END;
you can increase the chunksize a bit more.
you still have a problem btw that you probably cant upload more then 4-8 mb before you get an out of memory error on the client.
you could solve that by rewriting the client java file to send the file piece by piece on request by the server instead of all the pieces after eachother, and first read a piece of the file and then encode that piece and then send it instead of reading the whole file, encoding it and sending the chunks.
Another option is to use the standard upload possibilties with web pl/sql, and open a new browser window to that window from forms. A drawback of that is that it is not integrated in the web forms program and that you cant see when the upload is finished (no callback). and that you are bound to the default table layout.
one final thing, if you are going to use this, you might want to take a look at using JInitiator 1.3.1.9 if you arent using it already this automaticly sets the signature in the clients database if he accepts it. there is a bug in it, look for it somewhere in this forum. if you are using the sample that comes with forms 6i you will have to replace the fileuploadprogressbar with the one that comes with the forms 9i sample and recompile everything and i think you will have to use JDK1.3.1_03 for that. that means that you will have to modify the make batch file. the command for compiling is different, the classpath is an option when you call javac, also you will have to sign it with jarsigner.exe (in the jdk) instead of the one in the example.
Hope this info is helpfull, if you like to have more specific code, mail me at [email protected]

Unable to install the Novell File Upload extension to upload directories

Using Firefox 9.0.1 on Windows 7 I'm unable to install the Novell File
Upload extension to upload directories.
As per the pop-up help page, I've added
extensions.install.requireBuiltInCerts in about:config and set it to
false but that has made no difference, even after restarting the browser.
I've also tried this with Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
(10.6.8) - unsupported I know - with the same result.
Do I really have to use Internet Explorer? Urgh!

So, with Firefox, first hitting http://<server>/zenworks/ after install
displays
--begin--
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to <server>, but we can't
confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted
identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However,
this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could
mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't
continue.
[Get me out of here!]
> Technical Details

---end---
so I click "I Understand the Risks", [Add Exception...] then [Confirm
Security Exception] at which point http://<server>/zenworks/ correctly
displays and I can log in. Checking Tools | Options | [View
Certificates] shows an (Unknown) server certificate for <server> with a
Permanent lifetime.
Is that what you mean by trusting the ZCM CA?
Perhaps this is why Firefox 9.x is not a supported browser though I
thought that was more to do with Mozilla treating major version numbers
as minor ones? Gee if only Firefox hadn't automatically upgraded itself
from 8.x to 9.x!

Reliable file upload using JDev, AS and other

Hello,
I'm not sure this is the right place to post this message, sorry if I was wrong to put it here.
The question is our company is developing software, for active data exchange with other systems. We decided to exchange in xml format, by means of both web services and web interface (so that exchange could happen both automatically and on user request). We use JDev to develop, Oracle AS to deploy application. Systems we exchange can use various platforms, in fact, it doesn't matter what exactly they use. The question is we need a reliable way to exchange large (sometimes small, but can be 1Gb or, for example, 10Gb) files, maybe with appropriate security, so that it could continue if something happens with network connection.
One simple decision is to have a web service that accepts, for example, 100K at a time, and another service continuously calls it until file is transfered. So it can check response code. But are there better decisions? I think, there are libraries or smth like this?
Thanks in advance, believe, it's a right place to get help.

Another, simpler (we think), such package is Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload. It's a servlet filter which can work in front of both servlets and JSP's. The servlet filter parses the uploaded file and stores it temporarily on the servers disk. When the servlet or JSP executes afterwards, it can obtain all the information about the file, from the request attributes. There is a decent manual for HTTP Multipart File Upload on the website.
Just search for "Jenkov HTTP Multipart" on Google and you'll find it. HTTP Multipart is free, open source, Apache Licsense.

How to increase page size for balance file upload in Workspace.

Hi All,
Please suggest how to increase page size for balance file upload in shared Workspace pages.
Thanks,

A word of caution is in order regarding changing from facing to non-facing and back again. If you have overridden master page items, you'll get a second, non-overridden copy on all the even-number pages when that half of the master page is re-applied. This applies to master text frames which override automatically when text flows into them as well as to objects you manually override. I think you'll find this particular technique also only works for master text frames, whereas the Layout Adjustment should work in all situations where frames snap to guides.

File Upload Submit Woes

We have a file upload page. We have added a custom table to store the files, based on the How Tos docs on OTN. The issue that we are having is that if there is anything in the file upload control and a user switches to another page in the app via a tab, the file upload page is automatically submitted (the custom PL/SQL does not fire because it is tied to the submit button) and the file is stored in the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table not the custom table. What is auto submitting this page when the tab is used to transition to another page? When you hover over the tab you see the doSubmit() function call. Is there a way around this?

well, that's not exactly what i meant, but it's no matter because i steered you wrong (sorry about that; was doin' like 8 things at once)...
what i meant was for you to conditionally fire your process based on the values of :REQUEST that could be set when your page was submitted. so rather than using your current tab's name in your condition, i was suggesting you use the tab names from the other tabs on which your users are clicking to "accidentally" submit their documents. where i steered you wrong is that processing doesn't occur on pages when the user tabs out of them like that. so your after_submit pl/sql won't run regardless of your conditions if your users are tabbing out of that page. the easiest way i can (now) think of to handle this case would be to do that processing elsewhere. so when your user tabs off your page, your "File Browse..." item will be populated with a new value. you could have before header processes on your pages to which your users are tabbing to properly move the uploaded files to your table in cases where that item was just updated. so to put this in the context of the how-to doc...
say your users are tabbing off your file upload page to either page 4 or 5 of your app. i'm suggesting you add processes to those pages that run the...
<from howto>
insert into file_subjects(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
select id,:P2_FILE_NAME,:P2_SUBJECT,blob_content,mime_type
from wwv_flow_files where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
delete wwv_flow_file_objects$ where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
</from howto>
...code if the value of P2_FILE_NAME was just updated (you can, of course, check to see if it was updated by storing the "old" value elsewhere and comparing to the current). this is the processing that you're unable to currently fire, and i'm just suggesting you do it on the next page(s) rather than the current one.
hope this helps,

File Upload PJC questions

File Upload PJC
I have installed the File Upload PJC demo & got it working.
We are using Forms 6i patch 8 with servlet configuration, iAS 1.0.2.2.1 on Win 2000, Oracle 8.173
We want to upload/download files to the server & save them as BFILES in the database. I think I am on the right track but have some questions:
What do I have to change in the PJC to increase the memory so I can upload a file > 4 MB? We will be uploading some large files. I'd also like to ability to select multiple files to upload. I don't know much about Java programming but will learn if this is the best way to accomplish this.
I want to upgrade to Forms patch 12. I understand that it uses Jinitiator 1.3 & that it will popup a dialog when it sees a new signed Jar file & will automatically import the certificate if the user decides to trust it - but I read on the Technet forum there is a bug 2483719 - does this work with patch 12?
We also want to use the Native JVM for IE (when it will work with XP - is this patch 13?). What do we have to change if we create a signed CAB file?
We also need the reverse to download a file to the client - WITHOUT using web.show_document - since this does not always prompt you with a save dialog box & tries to open the file in the browser.
Any ideas will be helpful - thanks.

Laura,
these are many questions in one post and I try to answer it as good as I can

As far as I know there is no restriction to the size of the file uploaded to the server. There exist a recommendation of to which size this bean has been tested. Due to the implementation of the Bean there are defined chunk sizes for the data passed, but this does not limit the size of a downloaded file.
I'd also like to ability to select multiple files to upload. I don't know much about Java programming but will learn if this is the best way to accomplish this.
Actually you will have to change the code then. First you need to set a porperty on the file dialog allowing the selection of multiple files. Next you will have to handle multiple files in the bean code. Yes, without Java you will not get there.

The problem is that you use a different (custom) signature for the upload bean, after modifying it, that requires the user to first grant it permissions. The bug means that this currently cannot be handled with Jinitiator 1.3.x. The work around is explained in a Whitepaper on OTN about signing Java Bean in Forms (Forms9i collateral section). There is no dependency to teh Forms patch you use, but to Jinitiator. So yes, teh work around will work there.

Possibly. That's the target patch.
What do we have to change if we create a signed CAB file?
You'll have to use the Microsoft SDK and refer to their documentation on how to create and use signed cab files. Shoudl be no big difference though.
We also need the reverse to download a file to the client - WITHOUT using web.show_document - since this does not always prompt you with a save dialog box & tries to
open the file in the browser.
This is a problems with files that the Browser has a MIME type map for. If you download a file with the .gif extension, then this is a known MIME type configured in the HTTP Server. Therefore the Browser recognizes that the downloaded stream is a gif file and tries to render it. You can work around it by making sure that the downloaded file extension is not knwon by the HTTP server (Mime type application/word).

Help with File Upload manually

Hi Experts,
I need code to upload a file without using the upload UI Element. we have our terms and conditions which has to be signed by the user and once the user signs and clicks the next button to go to the next page, I generate a pdf with the time stamp of when the user signed and upload it to ECC. here i can not use the File upload UI Element but have to upload it automatically to ECC.
Can any one help me out with this please.
Thanks

Hi,
I dont know why you need to to upload the file for this requirement. You can simply store the user id and the timestamp in portal database table or in a ECC z table.
In case you definitely need to upload the file then you can use KM API to uploadthe file to portal KM folder
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a099a3bd-17ef-2b10-e6ac-9c1ea42af0e9?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
but you need not use the upload feature in the example, instead just get the data from wd context and upload to KM.
