How to upload a file into file system on server?

Question

We want to allow our partners to upload .csv file on our unix box. How do we upload a file into file system. I might be wrong but after reading the documentation, I think OA framework only allows to save the file in database. Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi,
I was making a very silly mistake and found it. We need to create a new Entity object before you try to fill it with data. So what we can do is in the Controler, call a method in the AM that creates a new entity object (this should be made in processRequest, so that the VO gets initialized when the page loads).
Now you can fill the entity with data in the page (ie browse and choose the file), and then when the page is submitted call a method AM again but now in processFormRequest to do the commit.
code example
In the AM class
* Creates a new createCVRecord. To be Called from ProcessRequest when the page loads.
public void createCVRecord()
XxPersonCVVOImpl vo = getXxPersonCVVO1();
if (!vo.isPreparedForExecution())
vo.executeQuery();
Row row = vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(row);
// Required per OA Framework Model Coding Standard M69
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
} // end createCVRecord()
* The commit method. To be Called from ProcessFormRequest when the page is submitted.
public void apply()
getTransaction().commit();
or else there is a different way... please refer the following thread for more details....
