File Uploading Too quickly

Does anyone else have a problem with the FileReference file
upload event handlers when the file size is too small? I've
registered most of the event handlers with the FileReference
object, but after select, none of them are caught. This only
happens with I use a small file, about 50-60 kb. On a larger file
it doesn't seem to be a problem. My app really needs to know when a
file has been uploaded. Any suggestions?

On this same subject, I neglected to change sampling rates correctly when going from 48k DAT tape to computer for iTunes. The music is now at 44.1 which I want, but the speeds are too fast.
I found that if I modify the sampling rate to 40,200 and let the pitch and time change with it, I can match the original and resave. (I subtracted the same amout from 44.1 as that is from 48).
Is there a better, easier way that makes more sense? I have the ability to just change the pitch and remain at 44.1 but I don't know by how much.

Exported AIFF file plays too quickly.

Hi
Im new to soundtrack pro but followed export settings in apple pro training series but when the track is played back, either in FCP timeline or finder it is speeded up. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Problem upload too large file in a Content Area ORA-1401

Hi All
I have a customer who is trying to upload a file with a too large name in a content area.
If the filename is 80 characters, it works fine.
But if the filename is upper or 80 characters the following error ocurred:
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
DAD name: portal30
PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwv_add_wizard.edititem
URL : http://sbastida-us:80/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.wwv_add_wizard.edititem
I checked the table: WWV_DOCUMENT and it have a column name: FILENAME is defined like VARCHAR2(350).
If i run a query on this table, the filename column stores the filename of the file uploaded.
Is this a new bug? may i fill this bug?
Do you have any idea about this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Catalina

Catalina,
The following restrictions apply to the names of documents that you are uploading into the repository:
Filenames must be 80 characters or less.
Filenames must not include any of these characters: \ / : * ? < > | " % # +
Filenames can include spaces and any of these characters: ! @ ~ & . $ ^ ( ) - _ ` ' [ ] { } ; =

Upload file writes too fast in while loop

problem scenerio:
My upload thread occasionally rushes through its while-write loop, writing data for a 3mb image in less than a second and then it waits for a longer time (10-30 seconds) for a response. The thread is writing directly to the OutputStream class using OReilly's implementation. I do not understand this delay. It appears to be buffering? I would like real time progress, which will be reflected in a progress bar. Is there something peculiar about this please:
The corresponding console output is (for each image where the 1657 and 1907 times indicates problematic behavior):
bufferSize: 8192, whileloopWriteTime: 40125, waitForResponseTime: 500
bufferSize: 8192, whileloopWriteTime: 31937, waitForResponseTime: 625
bufferSize: 8192, whileloopWriteTime: 1657, waitForResponseTime: 27843

bufferSize: 8192, whileloopWriteTime: 48719, waitForResponseTime: 641

Thank you for your responses.
Accurately reporting the upload progress to the user is required, however a timely upload is also imporrtant.
At present data appears to be sitting in a buffer for 10-20 seconds, while the progress bar indicates complete and before the next file upload is
started.
I am not using swing. I use an (non-gui) applet which handles communication between the server (jsp, servlet) and a dhtml, css interface.
In the gui I a list of items awaiting upload is created. The gui paints a progress bar next to an item which is in progress (uploading).
When an individual item's progress bar reaches 100% (confirmed to disk) the text 'complete' replaces the progress bar.and a the next item receives a progress bar. The gui also paints updates to a second global progress bar which indicates overall progress. The uploads are reliable, but for this issue.
There's not much information except timing information in your post, and what would help us make educated guesses into what your program does are "etc."ed. Notably, does your applet maintain a single connection to your server for all image uploads?
Presently the applet creates a new socket for each request. Another class manages and monitors the socket connection. The socket connection
runs in its own thread. At the end of each file upload the socket and thread terminate. Once the upload behavior is stable I will attempt a more
elaborate thread and socket management scheme.

Try acquiring more information with a network analyser such as Wireshark.
I have wireshark. I will try and post results. However I placed a System.out.println in the
O'Reilly class which receives the data and it appears to receive and write the file data (via OutputStream.write) in 1-2 seconds as
reflected in the applet output.
>
This bizarre suggestion at least contains the germ of the issue. Your writes are just writing to the socket send buffer, not to the network. I would
increase the socket send buffer size personally.
I have not tested an increased socket send buffer size. This feels right. I will test this tomorrow and report back. Do you have a suggested socket send buffer size?
Your suggestion that I am writing to the socket and not the network would certainly reflect the results I am witnessing.
In the O'Reilly class data is being written from the incoming stream (8192 bytes per loop) to the file using the OutputStream write method. However because the data is writes are so fast it appears to be writing to a buffer and not the file.
Yeah. Next question is is this really the O'Reilly code? that keeps testing the socket for null and isConnected() after it's already been in use and can't possibly be in any other state?
This code which is testing the socket is not the O'Reilly code. The O'Reilly code is the FilePart class.

Upoading files file images are too small to see on file upload screen

Upon wanting to send photos or files via email when i come to the file upload screen the images are very small and almost impossible to see.this is affecting both safari and firefox.how can i make the images larger so i can see what files i am actually uploading?

Hi,
I am not sure I was clear enough. (EDIT Some testing before finally posting this does show some strangeness)
I was suggesting that in the View Options bit you set the Size to what you want (Before using the Upload site) so that when (and If) you change the View in the Pop Up screen to Icon View the icons are big enough. (See note below though)
List and Column views do show very small Icons that cannot be changed in size, hence the need to use the Icon view and possibly a Naming convention that helps if the pics are very similar like the pic I posted (a whole series of iChat Preferences pics) or possibly deciding before Uploading and creating a sub folder of just the ones to be uploaded.
NOTE:- However I also checked if I set the Icon View in the Finder first to 128 X 128 and then used Google Mail to Add an Attachment the Pop up, view as it were, keeps to the size in the pic I posted.
I will also try Quitting Firefox just in case it is holding some old info.
I will also try Safari
EDIT 2
Tried Safari and the Icons are a default size it seems.
Zoom Only makes the selection (of Pics) window bigger/full screen, hiding the Browser (Alt Key and Zoom reduces it again).
Also tried setting the View Options at the Desktop Level (Have yet to use it as the Default)

Error when uploading; the file name is invalid, or the file is too big

Hi, I have posted this topic also in this thread, but we are not getting any answer to this problem. Also, the existing discussion in this thread gives us no idea what to do.
We get the a.m. message when using the "FILE-UPLOAD" UI element only for selected users and for these only in IE8 and not in Firefox.
So we believe that the cause for the error is likely on the client side, especially in some IE settings.
Is there any advice available what to look for and where to check?
Thanks in advance,
M. Büttner

Dreamweaver files upload with zero filesize

Hi,
I have created a site using Dreamweaver CS6 and have come to upload it. I entered the FTP details and set it going. (Incidentally, is there a way you can get only files that are actually used in the site to upload, rather than everything you have in the site folder?) However, it seemed to be going very slowly, so I switched over to FileZilla, which I have previously found to be quite quick. Here, the connection appears to timeout so the upload is attempted repeatedly, and when it gives up retrying the selected file shows on the server but with a file size of 0.
Several emails to the hosting company, and a bit of trial-and-error later, it seems that it is only files that come under the umbrella of this Dreamweaver site which will not upload properly. If I select a random file from my desktop, it will upload to the same server, indicating there is nothing wrong with my username/password, ports etc.
Why would it be that only my Dreamweaver files will not upload? It is not limited to html files. jpg files won't upload either. Even jpg's which are not linked to but still in the site folder will not upload!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to put this project to bed!
Many thanks,
David

Can you upload these files to this site with DW (albeit slowly)?
No. With DW or FZ, to this server, the result is the same. DW just sits there saying 0 of 1 completed (or words to that effect) (since I established this is faulty I've only being trying single files, not the whole site.)
Can you upload files to other sites with DW and if so, is the result different?
Yes. If I enter details for another server DW and FZ will upload this site's files with no issue whatsoever.
FileZilla is not able to upload any files that come from DW at all?
No. FZ will upload this site's files created in DW to the second server.
If you put an external file that you *can* upload with FileZilla into a DW site, can you then upload it with DW? Or with FileZilla?
I copied index.html from the site folder onto the desktop, FZ still didn't want to know. I copied the random photo.jpg into the site folder, and that stopped uploading too. However, now whether from the desktop or the site folder, this jpg (and also another, which happened to be sat next to it on the desktop) now stop uploading at 262,144 bytes. Obviously the html files are much smaller at around 7-10kB so it can't be a max file size thing, and anyway a 1.5MB jpg was no problem yesterday.
Are you working within a defined site in DW?
Yes.
Do the site files reside on your local hard drive or an external drive?
Local hard drive.
Which operating system do you use?
Yesterday, Mac OS X 10.7; today 10.8.

ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have gone through the notes 1535201 & now on 1606563 after your advise.
Both the notes says the fix is available on 7.01 after SP 07 and we are on SP 14 already.
Also just in case I did checked with our basis and they confirmed we are a head and we have the above notes in our release already.
Unfortunately the notes are not the solution to the investigation till date.
Thanks,
Sai

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,
Kind Regards,

How can I download a 18 minute video I recorded from my iPad to either email or youtube or vimeo I keep getting the message the file is too long.

How can I transfer a 18 minute video I recorded on my iPad camera app to email/youtube or vimeo? I keep getting the message the file is too long do want to send clips?
Thanks

Youtube usually had an 8 minute length cap, which may be part of your issue. Also at 18 minutes that is probably a gig+ file size, which will also take a long time to upload and may be another part of the issue.
Edit it down as jim suggested. Or you may need to use something like dropbox, to get it off your ipad and onto a computer where might have more options to edit it down or size it down.
If it's just file size you can transcode it into a smaller file - a lower quality MP4 for example. If it's the length that's an issue for youtube, you'll need to break it up into a couple different files and upload part 1 and part 2

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, ...

Rename file extension during a file upload ??

I need to rename the extension of a file at some point during the file upload. I am not sure where to do this at.
The file needs to be renamed before it is written to the directory.
Basically, the file will come in with a .txt or .doc type. Based on a users profile, I will change the type to a non-relavent number such as 1111.
Here is my upload servlet. Can you tell me where to change the type so it will write the file with the new extension?
Thanks.

I am also need to rename a file and extension while uploadinf the file to the server. The oreilly example seems only save as the same file name and ext. I wonder if you have the ability chANGE OIT OR NOT. pLEASE LET ME KNOW
thanks

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 ??

How to 'clear' file upload field in forms

In a form I am designing I need a 'clear' or 'reset' button that clears the entire form. This is easy to do, of course, but alas my form has a file upload field, and in Safari I just can't get that field to go back to it's default empty state.
is there a secret way to force file upload fields in safari to reset, or is it just impossible?

I've just done a quick search on bugzilla and came up with this http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8248.

File Uploading Too quickly
