File Upload element Problem

Hello All,
We have a problem regarding the File Upload button in Webdynpro.
when we upload a file using this element and goto another view and comeback, the upload element is not showing any filename.
But when debugged, the fileupload context node still has the data. Just it is not showing in the UI.
Is it an existing problem with File Upload? Or do we have to do anything to make the filename visible.
Thanks,
Anand

File Upload demo problem

Hi!, i have a problem with the File Upload Demo when it calls this line:
hDirectoryObject := JFile.new(directory);
and the error is: error 6508 "PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called"
That's ok, but anybody knows why should the program couldnt find the routine ?
And just one more thing...where can i look for JFile method description ??
Thanks a lot :) !!
Cristian.

Is this 9i or 6i?
JFile is an imported wrapper for a Java Class - it should be in the Demo form already - you could try a compile all on the file just in case.

How to disable the text field in File upload element?

Hi,
How can we disable the text field in the "File upload" UI element so that the user won't be able to type the file path there, but he will still be able to browse the file using the Browse button?

File Upload/Download Problem

Hi,
I have a fileupload button. The attributes type is XSTRING, which i bound it with "data" property of download.
When i download this file with "download" element, it comes in a zip file and as XML files. Only the jpg files are downloaded correctly.
How can i solve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am so sory for my very late answer.
If you want to upload/download files, you should have a node which includes attributes
(attribute names are just example ):
1) filename(type: for example afilename),
2)mimetype (type : string),
3) file(type : a data element with type 'RAWSTRING').
You must match your fileupload element's attributes with them:
"DATA" attribute --> file ,
"fileNAME" attribute--> filename,
"mimeTYPE" attritube -->mimetype.
When you want to download this file, you should put a filedownload element and match this element's attributes with the node's attributes which i described above.

File Upload / ENCTYPE Problem - Please HELP !!!!!!

Please HELP !!!
I have following config. MS Windows Server 2003 with
Coldfusion 7. Everything is working fine.
But now I want to upload a file, and there is the problem
that I have the wrong content type on my action page, and so my
form field "FileContents" is empty.
On my action page i have got content_type
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" instead of
"multipart/form-data".
Here is the code:
--------------------uploadfileform.cfm--------------------
<cfoutput>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"
action="uploadfileaction.cfm" name="uploadForm" id="uploadForm">
<input name="FileContents" type="file"
id="FileContents">
<br>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
</cfoutput>
--------------------uploadfileaction.cfm--------------------
<cffile action="upload" fileField="FileContents"
destination="e:\tempdir" nameConflict="MakeUnique">
If there is anyone who can help me please be so kind and tell
me the solution.
Kind Regards!

On my action page i have got content_type
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" instead of
"multipart/form-data".
There is no need for that sort of thing on the action page.
On the action page the cffile tag is enough.
Everything else seems to be all right, except one. The
destination attribute should end with a back-slash. The correct
value is
destination="e:\tempdir\".

File Upload -- MultipartRequest Problem

I use com.oreilly.servlet.MultipartRequest to upload files through a servlet.
This works fine, but when the size of a file exceeds the maximum size,
I need to handle the IOException but it doesn't work.
here is the code:
try {
if (file != null) {
File outputFile = new File(fullPath,fileName);
FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(file);
FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
while (inFile.available()>0) {
outFile.write(inFile.read());
inFile.close();
outFile.close();
return (fileName);
catch( java.io.IOException e ) {
System.out.println("DiskFileUpload write failed" + e.toString());
return (null);
catch ( java.lang.Exception le) {
System.out.println("DiskFileUpload write failed" + le.toString());
response.sendRedirect("error.html");

What is the problem you are getting?
Are you getting Page Cannot displayed Browser page?

Jnlp file parameter element problem

Hello all,
I have a jar file which contains all the class files and an configuration file of type(.cfg).
For my application to run properly i need to pass this .cfg file as an argument to the main method in one of the file in the jar...
i did pass the name of the file as one of the parameter element,but my application is not initialized and not working.but the jar files have been deployed in the local machine.
so my question is , is there a way so that i can pass my file as a parameter to the main method through jnlp xml file.

thanks andrew,
but my problem is that i need to pass the path of my file along with the name of the file to the main method ...and in turn my main method will do all the required processing work..
the jar file that is to be deployed contains the class files and the .cfg file..
my jnlp files looks as follows:-
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="$$codebase" href="voicechat.jnlp">
<information>
<title>SIP Based Voice Chat</title>
<vendor>First Internet Systems Pvt Ltd</vendor>
<description>Voice Chat</description>
<description kind="short">Voice Chat </description>
<icon href="images/demologo.gif"/>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.5" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
<jar href="sip.jar"/>
<jar href="ua.jar"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="local.ua.GraphicalUA">
<argument>-f</argument>
<argument>a.cfg</argument>
</application-desc>
</jnlp>
the second argument that i had passed is the name of the file in the jar to be passed..
but as a result when i invoke this file, the jar files are deployed but application is not starting as expected..for it to work the file and its path has to be passed to the main method..
which is what i tried through argument element...but it does not seem to work..
so all that i need to know is that, is it possible to pass a file and its path as an argument in the jnlp file..

(JSP/SERVLET) File upload Character problem form enctype="multipart.....

Hi,
When i upload a file from <form> ( jsp page ) and send it to my object class(struts,servlet) , the filename ��.doc are replaced by ?????.doc. in the database.
I make few test by adding UTF-8 charset and content type to the jsp but still doesn't work...
Ex :
String encod = request.getCharacterEncoding();
if (encod == null || !encod.equals("UTF-8"))
try
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
System.err.println("HttpMultipartRequest - : " + e);
It's not a charset problem in the database because i try to do with an input type="text" and its working. It's just not working with the input type="file".
And i also add directly �� character into the database and its working.
it's will be a pleasure if someone could response to me .
thanks
Jonathan

warnerja,
Not sure why you always play the part of the
cross-post police... Seems like waste of effort to
me.To each his own. I'm not sure why you feel the need
to question my motives. Also not sure why you have
posted requests to Sun regarding forum features...
"Seems like a waste of effort to me.". But I wasn't
going to call you on it.touch�

File Upload Concept Problem

Hi, I am writing a WAS4 webapp which will allow users to upload files to the WAS machine. I've written and deployed apps on WAS4 before and I create a war file and deploy it via the admin console. But something I don't quite understand is that if I create a folder, say 'upload' underneath my context root such that the path is /contextRoot/upload and this folder is inside the war file, can a user upload into this folder?
If not, then where must I place the folder in order to perform uploads and how can I reference this folder from my java code? Do I give it absolute machine paths, or some other sort of context relative path?

Did you try using Jakarta FileUpload? It will answer all your questions.

Unable to get the filename from file upload UI element

Hi,
I added a FileUpload UI element.
I created an attribute of type resource , assigned to the resource property of the file upload element.
I created an action button called upload and added the following code.
try {
       IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFileupload();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
when I debug to see the value of resource it is null.
Please let me know where I am going wrong.

Hi,
Check if there are any space characters in your uploading path (file path).
First try to upload a file without any space characters in the uploading path(file path). If the problem is with the space characters then use the below encoding & decoding to resolve that issue.
Encoding while uploading the file:
// Getting the file resource
IWDResource resource = element.getCtx_va_FileResource();
//Getting the resource name
String resourceName = resource.getResourceName();
//Encoding the resource name
String encoderesourceName = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(resourceName,"UTF-8");
Again while downloading you can use decoder.
Hope this helps to resolve your issue.
See this below link.
Re: File Upload Problem
Try this encoding even if there are no space characters.

Charan

File Upload UI Element

Hi,
We are using the Standard Webdynpro File upload element in the screens. When the user clicks on the 'Browse' button the File Selector popuop is thrown using which the user can select the file.
Can we have on specific type of files be displayed in the 'File Selector' popup. currently ALL the files are displayed, though we have the option of '.html' files in 'Files of Type' dropdown.
How can we add custom file types say .csv file selection.
Regards,
S.Divakar

Baskaran,
The key here is "ACCEPT" attribute of file upload. Even if SAP add it later, we have to wait for MS to fix IE (make it true HTML 4.0 browser) -- IE docs even does not mention ACCEPT attribute on <input type="file" />

File upload problem when form consists of more than 5 elements

          Hi,
          I noticed some bizarre behaviour that only occurs when going through an ssl proxy
          link to httpclusterservlet on our clustered environment, does not occur without
          ssl proxy.
          I have two different multipart forms One of them has:
          1.one file upload field and 7 other input fields
          The other one has:
          2.one file upload field and 2 other input fields
          Number 2 works as expected,
          but number 1-- it appears as if my servlet is called twice and the stream is corrupt--
          for example it starts of with the boundary, but after the fifth element half it
          gets cut off and then my servlet is called again with the remaining elements leaving
          off with where it was cut off.
          I don't think this is normal behaviour.
          Any ideas?

If you are on NetWeaver 7.01, you can try both the ACFUpDownload UI element or try creating your own FileUpload in Adobe Flex with Flash Islands. ACFUpDownload requires the KPRO by default (which is why the same application isn't working for you), but you can write your own handler class to act as the KPRO receiver. Here is an eLearning on the topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/109b9b52-bc00-2c10-8786-e4c5e96d7e04
and source code:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70645070-bb00-2c10-f086-f126721acdb4
If you want an eLearning on the FlashIslands approach, you can find it here as well:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d42644-91ef-2b10-228c-9e0ae75b274e
and Source Code:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f044b62c-90ef-2b10-64a6-9ec25294d133
However in both of these approaches you still have to be careful with how you handle large files. The problem is that they are processed often a single binary string. This makes the processing easy, but requires total amount of session memory at least as large as the file being uploaded. In NetWeaver 7.02 ABAP adds the concept of Streams and Locators to help with the partial processing of large files. This feature doesn't come until later this year, but if you are interested you can learn about it here:
