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,

Unable to submit form without attachment if file upload fails

Hi All,
I have a form, in which I have a input file component.
Scenario 1 - If i don't attach anything and submit the form, it is successful.
Scenario 2 - If I attach a file of size less than 2 MB and then submit, it is successful.
Scenario 3 - If I attach a file of size greater than 2 MB and then submit, ADF gives an error message saying " File is large" which is expected.
3.1 - In the scenario 3, after file upload fails, I want to submit the form without attaching any file. But the form isn't submitted and the warning message always pops up.
3.2 - If I upload file of size less than 2MB again and then submit, it is successful.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
Harini.

Try clearing the error messages
<af:resource type="javascript">
function clearMessagesForComponent(evt){
AdfPage.PAGE.clearAllMessages();
evt.cancel();
</af:resource>Now all yo uneed to do is to call this javascript method e.g. using a <af:clientListener method="clearMessagesForComponent" type="focus"/>on a button or any other field.

Safari needs to click submit button twice when file uploading

Hi all,
I'm using Safari 4.0.5 and developing the html (no AJAX, but plain PHP posting) form with the file uploading on my local environment. I tested it fast and thick several times, then suddenly Safari stopped to upload the jpeg file, indicating loading animation on the address bar. So I tried to click the submit button once again, I succeed in sending two posts including one jpeg image.
There's no problem with other browsers like Firefox and Chrome. Additionally, I tried to reinstalled Safari, rebooted Snow Leopard and checked file's permissions by Disk Utility app, but no dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I am having the exact same problem except that I'm in Safari 5.0. Did you ever come to any resolution on the problem?
I am having trouble uploading certain jpegs (can't find a common thread between the images that won't work though they tend to be larger than 100k and larger than 800px wide). When I have the problem the progress bar just hangs at about 10%. The page never times out. Never throws any kind of error. I confirmed that the file is never making it to the application layer. Such a weird and intermittent problem. All other browsers are fine. Just Safari is a problem. Even with these images that are giving me a problem, sometimes they work - especially after restarting the browser.
Any help or insight from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Upload media file and submit data in a same time

Hi,
I'm trying to submit data and upload file in a same time to a web page(which is jsp). But i found that the method used to upload file and submit data are different.
Method used to submit data :-
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(wbIndex);
post.addRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/html; charset=big5");
for(int i=0;i<field.length;i++){
     post.addParameter(field,value[i]);
System.out.print("field[" + field[i] + "], value[" + value[i] + "] ");
responseCode = client.executeMethod(post);
System.out.println("response code : " + responseCode);
and method used to upload file
URL url = new URL(wbIndex);
// create a boundary string
String boundary = MultiPartFormOutputStream.createBoundary();
URLConnection urlConn = MultiPartFormOutputStream.createConnection(url);
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "*/*");
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
     MultiPartFormOutputStream.getContentType(boundary));
// set some other request headers...
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
// no need to connect cuz getOutputStream() does it
MultiPartFormOutputStream out =
     new MultiPartFormOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream(), boundary);
// write a text field element
out.writeField("myText", "text field text");
// upload a file
out.writeFile("myFile", "text/plain", new File("C:\\test.wav"));
out.close();Does anyone know how to submit data and upload file to the page at a same time?
null

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. You meant that both method also can used to upload file and submit data? How about if i want to use the first method to upload file and submit data? How can i upload the file by using first method?

File Upload.. Strange Problem..

im trying to read file data and print it in the browser. I dont want to save the file. just to read the uploaded file which is TAB delimited..
First time it works fine. but If I browse back button and reload another file and submit. I am getting content of first file and second file. I closed the browser and reopened it but still problem is not resolved. it keeps on adding file content instead of showing current uploaded file. I dont know what to do.
here is my code

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.

Error on File upload. Error processing wwv_flow.accept.

Hi,
I'm developing an application to upload and download files using Oracle XE 10g and APEX 3.2.0.00.27 on OS Windows XP.
The file upload page is very simple: one file browse item, a submit button and a report based on the wwv_flow_files table.... and an extra button to save the uploaded files in the DB.
Sometimes (almost everytime) when I press the submit button, the wwv_flow.accept process fails and I'm redirected to a page saying Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
I'm forced to refresh the page and then I get the following message:
Expecting p_company or wwv_flow_company cookie to contain security group id of application owner.
Error ERR-7621 Could not determine workspace for application (:) on application accept.
I recreated the same page in the apex.oracle.com environment and it works, but it fails in my local environment.
I have read some posts int his forum, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Please help!!!

varadSorry about this...old post and off topic.
Can anyone point me to a standalone version of OHS for linux x86-64? I'm having troubles finding this, it doesn't appear to have installed with 11g Enterprise Edition and I cannot find it in the available packages when I re-run the installer. I'm running 11g EPG now and want to convert to Apache.
Thanks!!!

Plz answer for my question

File Upload in the Front End

I believe what I am about to ask isn't possible, however, I thought I should ask.before I say it cannot be done.
With open admin you can create file uploads that upload to a specified directory. Is there anyway to expose this on the front end of the site to allow for customers to upload files?
I ask because I would like to replicate a file upload feature that uploads to a specific directory of the site. Once that is done I display the image on the front end of the website.
I know I can upload files using a webform, however, this doesn't work for what I would like to do.
Any ideas or thoughts on this?

Hi Lynda,
That would be a security risk with bad files, viruses and open to abusive use.
You can submit files to a folder via a web app submission where you have to be logged in. This is that option for those reasons and a normal form submission goes into a case to keep it off your site so someone cant store and hotlink as a free storage space etc.

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, ...

Problem with Multi File upload example, help needed

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/multifile_upload.html
And I've got it to work to some degree except I cant get the file transfer to work when pressing, Upload.   Below is what my debugger outputs. Any thoughts on how to fix this or even what it means?
At the very bottom of this message is the upload.cfm code.......

Just 2 things in my test:

Restricting the type to application/octet-stream may generate errors. Also, it is unnecessary, because we perform a type check anyway.
2) I have used #ExpandPath('.')#\ in place of #ExpandPath('\')#

File Upload problem: JSF, IBM WPS and Portlet - Please HELP Vey Very Urgent

I want to upload a file from the front end using JSF and Portlets deployed on IBM WebSphere Portal.
I have used Apache's commons file upload functionality as the file upload provided in JSF doesnot work with portlets and the action event is not invoked If I keep enctype="multipart/form-data". So I included 3 forms in my Faces JSP file.
1) h:form = For displyign error message on screen
2) html:form = Include the enctype="multipart/form-data" and the input type file for uploading. And a submit button
3) h:form: Here I have a command link which is remotely excuted on click of sumit button in my html form. This is to invoke the action event in the pagecode to get the bean value from the context.
Now in the my doView method in the portlet, isMultipartContent(httpservletrequest) always returns null as the content type is text/html and not multipart. Onclick of the submit button in the the html form I am calling a javascript function which sets the __LINK_TARGET__ to the command link in the 3rd h:form which will call the page code.
The problem here is action is invoked only when I return false from the above javascript else it will trigger for the first time and from second time onwards it will not invoke the action event in the pagecode method. Whent the javascript function returns false, the content type is always text/html. However if I return "true" from the javascript the content type is multipart/form-data, but the action is not triggered for the second time. So basically when the javascript functions returns true, for the first click everything works perfectly. When it returns false, the content type is text/html, but the action is invoked in the page code every time.
Returning always true would solve my problem with the content type, but the action with the command link will not get invoked always as its some type of problem with h:commanLink :(.
I guess I gave too much info. Heres my code stepby step.
Can somebody please tell me , how I should also invoke the action in the page code and get the content type as "multipart/form-data" at the same time.

Thanks.

one more question. Is there a way where I can submit two forms ?
Thats is submit 2nd form only when the first form is submitted.
I tried this it works.
function formSubmit(){
document.form1.submit();
alert();
document.form2.submit();
But If I dont put an alert(basically it disables the parent page) in between, only the second form is submitted.
If I put a delay of say 3 seconds in between then it will throw a SOCKET CLOSED error in the code triggered due to first form submit.
Thus disabling the paresnt page for a few seconds is reolving my problem.
Any ideas ?
Well Basically when the Alert pop's up the parent page "STALLS" and thus the form2 does not submit till I click on OK, Is there a way I can stall the browser/Parent JSP page using JAVA SCRIPT ??
