Hi!
I am looking for an api that handles file upload though jsp/servlet. I'm currently using the JspSmart smartUpload component but they looks like they have stop develop it so I'm am looking for an alternative.
Thanks in advance

HELP! File Upload Servlet and Internet Explorer

Hello people. I hope this is an easy problem to solve...
I have a servlet upload program that works using Mozilla browser (www.mozilla.org), but for some reason it doesn't work using Microsoft IE. The servlet is also using the servlet upload API from Apache (commons).
I'm using IE version 6.0.2800.1106 in a Win98SE host computer. I get a cannot find path specified error message (see below). At work, I also get the same error message using IE, but don't know what version. The OS is XP. Unfortunately, at work, I can't install Mozilla browser (or any software-company policy) to see if Mozilla works there too. I would've like to have tested to see if the upload program worked on Mozilla on a truly remote computer.
So I figured, it must be a IE configuration issue, but darn it!! I began by resetting IE to default settings, but still have the problem, I played around with several different combinations of settings in "Tools"-->"Internet Options...", and I still get the error message. Someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Dunno, if it will help, I've also pasted the upload servlet source code below and the html file that's calling the upload servlet, but you still need the Apache commons file upload API.
Trust me on this one folks, for some reason it works for Mozilla, but not for IE. With IE, I can at least access web server, and therefore, the html file that calls the upload servlet , so I don't think it's a Tomcat configuration issue (version 5.0). I actually got the code for the file upload servlet from a book relatively new in the market (printed in 2003), and it didn't mention any limitations as far as what browser to use or any browser configuration requirements. I have e-mailed the authors, but they probably get a ton of e-mails...
Anyone suggestions?
Meanwhile, I will try to install other free browsers and see if the file upload program works for them too.

I'm guessing what is happening is that Mozilla tells the servlet "here comes the file myfile.zip". The servlet builds a file name for it:
    String path = sc.getRealPath("/files");
    // path is now C:\TOMCAT\webapps\MyWebApps\files\
    fi.write(new File(path, fi.getName()));
    // append myfile.zip to "path", making it C:\TOMCAT\webapps\MyWebApps\files\myfile.zipIE, however, tells "here comes the file C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\myfile.zip". Now imagine what the path+filename ends up being...
So what you want to do is something along the lines of (assuming Windoze):
public static String basename(String filename)
    int slash = filename.lastIndexOf("\\");
    if (slash != -1)
        filename = filename.substring(slash + 1);
    // I think Windows doesn't like /'s either
    int slash = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
    if (slash != -1)
        filename = filename.substring(slash + 1);
    // In case the name is C:foo.txt
    int slash = filename.lastIndexOf(":");
    if (slash != -1)
        filename = filename.substring(slash + 1);
    return filename;
    fi.write(new File(path, basename(fi.getName()));
    ....You can make the file name check more bomb proof if security is an issue. Long file names trying to overflow something in the OS, NUL characters, Unicode, forbidden names in Windos (con, nul, ...), missing file name, ...

File Upload using PRC API's

Guys,
I am trying to upload a new document using PRC API's. Below is required code snippet that i am using.
IRemoteDocument remoteDoc = documentManager.createRemoteDocument(folderID,dataSourceID,document.getPath()); remoteDoc.setOverrideName(document.getName()); remoteDoc.setOverrideDescription(document.getDescription()); remoteDoc.setType("http://www.plumtree.com/dtm/mime", document.getFileType());int docID = -1;docID = remoteDoc.save();
dataSourceID - ID of my file upload datasource , document - is my java object which has all the document related properties such as , name , description , MIME type of document etc..Below is different document path's(scenarios) that I have triedc:\work\sample.txt\\servername\work\sample.txthttp:\\appserver:7001\appName\uploadfiles\sample.txt
When I execute this code from my application i get a below error.

Office 365 Files REST API and chunked upload

Hello,
I am currently working on integration with OneDrive for Business and I need to upload large files in chunks. I need to do something like this but using
the O365 Files REST API. As far as I understand this is currently not supported.
Are there any plans to support
uploading in chunks? If yes, can you please provide some (rough) estimate?
Thanks
Andrey

Thank you for the quick answer!
We are trying to upload the files using javascript and we are currently working with this API:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/files-rest-operations
We have also noticed that the roadmap for Office 365
http://roadmap.office.com/en-us contains SharePoint API Partial File Upload Support.
Does the update pointed in the roadmap refer to the API we are using? Or if you are saying we can already do chunked upload using it, can you please point us to a working sample?
Thanks
Andrey

File upload....How to find the user entered any file or not

Hi Team,
I am working on with file upload UI.
Some times without clicking on browse button, I mean without entering any file they are cliking on upload button, which is giving the exception.
I know there is no action for UI element, Then how to resolve this?
I just control the user, not to press the upload button without entering any file name there?
How to resolve this?
regards,
Bala

Hi,
This code will solve ur problem.
public void onActionUploadFile(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionUploadFile(ServerEvent)
    IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateFileUploadDownloadView.IContextElement.FILE_RESOURCE);
    IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    IPrivateFileUploadDownloadView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
    if(element.getFileResource() !=null)
         try
              String mimeType = binaryType.getMimeType().toString();
              byte[] file = element.getFileResource();
              //element.s

Problem using File upload in portlets

hello there
I'm trying to use file upload component in one of my portlets. I searched a lot about a working component to be used in portlets since the standard one that comes with JSC doesn't work in portlets. I managed to get commons file upload and tomahawk to run in my portlet, but when I choose a file and try to get selected file's details it throughs a NullPointerException reporting that the file object is null.
so please can anyone guide me to a working portlet example, I tried to find one but I couldn't. if that's hard to find, what should I do ?
thank you in advance

URGENT! File Upload Utility or a Custom UI for File Upload is needed!

Hi all,
I'm trying to find or develop a file upload utility or custom user interface rather than editing and adding file type item to a page. There is a free portlet for file upload in Knowledge Exchange resources, but it is for 3.0.9 release. I'm using portal 9.0.2.
I could not any sample about the new release. Also API such as wwsbr_api that is used to add item to content areas is out dated.
I create a page with a region for "items". When "edit" page and try to add an "file" type item the generated url is sth like this;
"http://host:7779/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwv_additem.selectitemtype****"
After selecting item type as a simple file autogenerated url is sth. like ;
"http://host:7779/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwv_add_wizard.edititem"
I made search about these API but could not find anything (in PDK PL/SQL API help, too).
I need this very urgent for a proof of consept study for a customer.
Thanks in advance,

I Need Information Regarding File Upload?

Where can I get information regarding the File uploading packages in Portal. Is there a specification I can get a hold of. I know such a package exists, as it is used by portal itself. I just need to know where I can get hold of information as to what it is called and how to invoke it.

Suraj,
The APIs to do file upload are not public as of yet. We are looking into the feature right now. Currently, the only supported method of file upload is using the Web Interface.
You may find more information about this in the 9iAs Portal forum

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.

Multiple File Upload With Metadata Using REST

hi all
I want to upload multiple files with metadata to document library using REST API. I am using this msdn article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn769086(v=office.15).aspx for uploading file. I am able to upload single file to document library but it is not working for multiple file. when I select multiple file it is uploading last selected file. can
anyone help with this. I am using office 365 environment.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the REST to upload multiple files.
Per my knowledge, the REST API is not supported for uploading multiple files via a single call.
You can write your own loop to upload multiple files via an individual call.

Yahoo BrowserPlus file upload

Hi,
I'd like to offer my users file uploads via the groovy new Yahoo BrowserPlus.
The BrowserPlus API call takes a URL parameter, documented as:
"The url to POST the file to. Can be relative to invoking URL, e.g. if service is invoked from http://www.foo.com/uploader/index.html and url argument is upload.php, the final url will be http://www.foo.com/uploader/upload.php"
Can anyone tell me what the parameter should be set to in order to upload files to WWV_FLOW_FILES?
Thanks
jd

JD,
If you haven't already, install the Firebug plugin for Firefox. Create an APEX page uploads a file. Open Firebug > Net tab > upload your file. You can see exactly what URL and parameters it's posting to (either wwv_flow.show or wwv_flow.accept). Understand that you will probably need at the very least the following parameters in addition to your file:
- p_flow_id (the app number)
- p_flow_step_id (the page number)
- p_instance (the session ID
- p_request (probably optional, but you might want to set it)
You can extract them from any page via JavaScript:
console.log('The App ID is: '+$v('pFlowId'));
I went through this exercise writing my [jApex jQuery plugin|http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/japex-a-jquery-plugin-for-apex/] and it's a good learning experience.
I looked at the Yahoo BrowserPlus plugin the other day and it seems interesting. I'm curious to see what the uptake will be, as it's pretty new. Let us know how it goes as this would be a great howto for the APEX community.

CreateRemoteDocument with using "File Upload" datasource

Hi there,
I would like to upload new documents to the Knowledge Directory through PRC API. There is an IDocumentManager object which has a createRemoteDocument() method. It needs datasource ID as a parameter (besides folderID and URL of the document). I tried to use ID of the "File Upload" service which works correctly when I would like to upload to KD through Simple Submit, but in this situation (PRC API) it fails... Is there any way to upload documents chosen by using a file input field to the KD through PRC API ?
Thanks in advance,
Zsolt

LOL. Ross. :-) I'd never be passive aggressive. Overstressed and getting snowed/rained on, yes, but I love working with you guys. :) I honestly meant that as a question - our business needs doing a lot of extranet type of client facing interchange/communication really lends itself to a document upload process. For the more intranet type deployment where you can integrate portal::authsource::data source security and crawl upload is definitely less relevant. Let me just come out and say officially so there's no debate: Working with all of you (when I get the chance) really is a highlight of my day. The fact that I know so many of you by name when I generally can't remember what I had for lunch should tell you something. ;)
"Can you explain how you want to edit the doc? Are you thinking fetch, modify, and reupload? Editing the properties as you would for any knowledge directory doc or something else altogether?"
You should be careful asking a question like that... People have been asking for:* provide the ability to upload content in portlet xyz that does business function xyz. (in our case we have a legacy workflow portlet that allows a user to submit a document with specific meta-data [not stored in properties...yet] and an established routing list. The document is uploaded to the portal, a card created, and the workflow process continues on its merry way. If the workflow is cancelled or a specific step rejected the process concludes and the requestor can elect to submit another copy of the document for review in another workflow instance)* Uploaded content should be presented in the knowledge directory (we actually upload it to the knowledge directory then dynamically add/remove security to allow access as the document moves through workflow)
...we have multiple outstanding requests to provide this kind of functionality in many portlets.
The way I'm seeing things is this...* The knowledge directory is an aggregate presentation of multiple data sources / content stores* The knowledge directory can present content stored in the document repository data source* The document repository handles naming collissions, object storage, and retrieval* Short term I'd just like to have an API that would upload a piece of content into the document repository. Editing would be huge, but I understand that's a much bigger deal (I will say I'm really impressed by Collab's ability to do this, btw)* I would assume property editing/management would stay as is - I see no issue with modifying properties either from the UI or from code...with one exception. I still don't understand why I can create a list property (call it "month"), append it to a document, and then when I go to edit the document properties it actually shows up as a free-entry text box. Shows up as a list (the one I created) on every other object type but document. Means it's hard to use the built-in portal UI to consistently tag information...ick.* Long-term I'd like to be able to modify knowledge directory items from the document repository data source ala what Collab 4.x does - editing in place. I understand this is likely a much nastier issue and also needs to be thought through completely, but our users do not seem to grasp the reasoning behind why you can edit community documents in place, but not edit knowledge directory uploads. I can't honestly envision myself streaming data into the object from code in this context (although that would be interesting) - I would really just like the portal UI to let end-users "edit" a document in place as Collab does.* Even longer-term ... I know the next logical feature users will ask for is content Versioning. Bigger ticket item, I know. Knowing our users this would probably be a burning request the moment you let them edit in place, but honestly - just editing in place and knowing you don't get to version the content would be a huge in.
That help at all? What more can I do to assist?
Thanks,Eric

Flex based Offline File Upload Application

Hi,
I am developing a flex based desktop client application,
which provides capability for offline and online file upload.
I want to achieve following functionality.
It detects whether user is online or not, If not online then
it saves data to somewhere on local file system folder
and as soon as it detects that user is online, it uploads
data from local file systm folder to HTTP based server.
I explored FileReference object in flash.net API, Apparently
it does not provide any capability to store content to local file
system.
Is above mentioned offline file upload possible using action
script ?
Pls. help.
Regards
Tarun

hi,
for all offline working applications you need an offline swf
to exe maker. i use mdm zinc. it is fantastic for the type of
problem you mentioned. visit www.multidmedia.com and download a
trial version. it will provide you with the necessary tool.
