File uploading & Another question

So basically, I'm trying to write a program that downloads a remote text file, changes it, and then uploads it to the remote server again. I've accomplished the first, but I can't figure out how to upload it. I have complete access to the server, but I can only do this through port 80, since it's a school project and my school blocks almost every port. Suggestions?

Ah, thanks, that looks like it's exactly what I needed. Now, after doing a little more work on the class, two more questions have popped up. The first is this. when I create the scanner to read the file, it throws an Input Mismatch Exception at me (line 97). I have absolutely no idea what's causing that, or even what it really means. You'll notice that the file is specified by its path due to a weird thing with how my files are set up on my comp, but I don't think that's got anything to do with it. The next question is, when I turn it into a jar, will the HTTPClient libraries be packaged with it, or will I need to pull some fancy footwork with that?

  • 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

    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.
    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.

    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?
    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.
    We also want to use the Native JVM for IE (when it will work with XP - is this patch 13?).
    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).

  • Tutorial on file upload/downloads questions

    Hi Everyone.
    Can you tell me how to clear a field such as the :p2_file_name field? I was thinking you could use :p2_file_name := '' like we do in Oracle Forms but that did not work. I put that code into a pl/sql process. The intent was to clear the field after the user clicked the Submit button.
    Can you also tell me the details on what is actually going on in the queries and stored procedures shown in the tutorial?

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • 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?

  • Question about File upload functionality in Weblogic

    Hi,
        We're currently trying to deploy a web application on the weblogic 12c server (via war file). And the app needs to upload a text file onto the a temperary directory within weblogic server. And on the web page side, we use JQuery File upload plugin.
        My question is, on the file receiver side, does weblogic provide any tools to receive the uploaded file and store it?
    Thanks very much in advance.

  • File upload hanging when called from another form

    Hi
    I have created a file upload form from the documentation I found on metalink and the form works fine on its own. I have then implemented the form into a multi form application and when the file upload form is called from another form it hangs trying to get to the client drive so that it can pick up a file. I have tried using the 'call_form', 'open_form' and 'new_form' built-ins but the results were all the same. Can anybody help me?

  • Multi file upload question

    I have an app that uploads files, and does batch uploads, but
    does it by using the FileReference.upload, and that makes it so
    that it only uploads one file, calls the upload.php script, and
    then uploads another and calls the upload.php script again.
    I would like to be able to upload all of the files, then go
    through the lot of them all at once using foreach($_FILES as
    $tagname=>$object) so that I when it hits the end it can send
    one email out instead of one for each file.
    Does anyone know how to make it loop through the upload a
    bunch of time before triggering the upload.php script?

    Not being familiar with the function you describe, all I can
    say is if you have a loop: while() {
    upload file;
    send email:
    wouldn't you want to change it so the email is sent after the
    loop ends?

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

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

  • Question about file uploads

    is having a file upload function on a web page a hard thing to do?
    i need to do this, but i do not know where to start...
    if anyone can help me out/shed some light on this for me that would be greatly appreciated!~!!!
    THANKS!

    No it is not particularly difficult; I let the user select a file on the client filesystem then upload to the server.
    The form ENCTYPE must be multipart/form-data:
    <FORM NAME="frmUpload" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST" ACTION=...>
    Use:
    <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="srcFile" SIZE="15" MAXLENGTH="40">
    In my servlet:
    verify:
    String contentType = request.getHeader("Content-Type");
    if (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") < 0)     {
    ...handle error...
    String boundary = contentType.substring(contentType.indexOf("boundary=") + 9, contentType.length());
    private boolean TransferFile(ServletInputStream is, String srcFile,
    String destDir,String caseNo, String boundary, String errorPage,
    HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException
    File pathName = new File(...);
    // If the target directory does not already exist then create it.
    if (!pathName.exists()) {
    pathName.mkdir();
    if (!pathName.exists()) {  // did mkdir work?
    ... do lots more checking ...
    boolean xferOK = false;
    try {
    FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(...);
    byte[] nextBytes = null;
    byte[] currBytes = null;
    while ((nextBytes = ReadLine(is)) != null) {
    if (currBytes != null) {
    String snippet = "";
    if (nextBytes.length - 10 <= boundary.length())
    snippet = new String(nextBytes);
    if (snippet.indexOf(boundary) < 0)
    fout.write(currBytes, 0, currBytes.length);
    else
    fout.write(currBytes, 0, currBytes.length - 2);
    currBytes = nextBytes;
    fout.close();
    xferOK = true;
    catch (IOException ioe) {
    return xferOK;
    } // TransferFile()
    Hope this helps

  • 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]

  • 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.
    Valeriy

    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.

  • Declarative Component : UploadedFile Isssue for multiple file Upload case.

    Hi,
    I have made one declarative component for the multiple file upload case; where i have add button that dynamically adds af:inputFile component to the popup dialog and similarly delete button to dynamically delete the selected inputFile component. Everything work fine such as:
    1. add button adds the inputfile component properly and delete does the same.
    2. upload of Multiple files also works fine. ( I keep the uploadedFile in the java.util.Map which is the pageFlowScope and once, Dialog box ok/cancel is clicked, i clear everything back).
    IT WORKS GREAT WHEN:
    User hit 5 times add button if they want to upload 5 images. and do upload for all the 5 inputFile components . (Add or Delete button should not be clicked after any upload , but before you can.)..
    THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WHEN:
    1. user uploaded; say 2 images but not yet clicked in the ok/cancel button yet... they are still in the upload dialog ..and hit ADD button again.
    2. After that user uploads say another file/image and now UploadedFile's getInputStream() returns null, length becomes 0 for all the other uploadedFile except this newly uploaded file.
    Now, here is the thing, i wrote my own customUplodedFile class which is just a wrapper and it return getInputStream() from this class and length from this class and it is working.... But i am not sure why does the uploadedFile loses it's value...
    import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.UploadedFile;
    public interface ICustomUploadedFile
      extends Serializable, UploadedFile
      public String getFilename();
      public String getContentType();
      public long getLength();
      public Object getOpaqueData();
      public InputStream getInputStream();
      public void dispose();
    ====================
    public class CustomUploadedFile
      implements ICustomUploadedFile, Serializable
      private transient UploadedFile mUploadedFile;
      private transient InputStream mInputStream;
      private long mLength;
      public CustomUploadedFile()
      public CustomUploadedFile(UploadedFile pUploadedFile)
        this.mUploadedFile = pUploadedFile;
        this.mLength = pUploadedFile.getLength();
        try
          this.mInputStream = pUploadedFile.getInputStream();
        catch (IOException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
      public String getFilename()
        return mUploadedFile.getFilename();
      public String getContentType()
        return mUploadedFile.getContentType();
      public long getLength()
        return mLength;
      public Object getOpaqueData()
        return mUploadedFile.getOpaqueData();
      public InputStream getInputStream()
        return mInputStream;
      public void dispose()
        mUploadedFile.dispose();
    } Now, my questions are:
    1. Is there a way i could follow to not to lose the UploadedFiles's inputStream and length by not using my wrapper class but in a standard way/best way.
    2. I am not happy although it works because it is not making sense to me at all.....Why does the wrapper working though when i have transient variables; like UploadedFiles... and it's transient variables are lost why not mine.
    I am totally confused at this stage.. Need your help.
    Thanks

    any one??

  • 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
