Http post and Alfresco web script

Hi all,
I'm wondering how to send the content of an XFA form into an Alfresco ECM instance. So far, I've been using "email submit buttons" by mail, but I think submitting the xml content directly into an Alfresco space could be feasible without too much trouble.
I'm trying to adapt the online script fromLiveCycle documentation
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/ht ml/wwhelp.htm?context=sdkHelp&file=001677.html
same in version 9 : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/index.htm?content=001303.html
which are about the same docs as the ones on Alfresco wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#File_Upload) although LiveCycle is only based on Alfresco AFAIK.
I don't want to use an HTML form, but directly send my form from my pdf xfa form. I made a small test using a fixed url on an HttpSubmitButton
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/upload?guest=true&fileName=liveCycleDocument&title=myTitl e&description=myDescription&content=myContent
On Alfresco, the document is created with the correct args values. But I still don't know how to send the real form content to the URL.
I checked on this document http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/livecycle/lc_understanding_submit_tip.pdf where I discovered I can use a custom submit button to send the datasets, but still cannot get my form xml data.
I hope someone will have a clue about LiveCycle/Alfresco communication.
Thx
Best regards,
jgrd

@Srini
Yes of course :
in Data Dictionary/Web Scripts (or Web Scripts extensions): create the 3 files
You may use spaces for package/subpackages:
- pdfform.post.desc.xml
 <webscript>
 <shortname>pdf form</shortname>
 <description>processing pdf form</description>
 <url>/pdfform</url>
 <authentication>guest</authentication>
 </webscript>
- pdfform.post.js :
upload = companyhome.createFile("form." + companyhome.children.length + "." + args.fileName) ;
upload.properties.content.content = requestbody.content;
upload.properties.encoding = "UTF-8";
upload.properties.title = args.title;
upload.properties.description = args.description;
upload.save();
model.upload = upload
-pdfform.post.html.ftl (freemarker)
<html>
<head>
 <title>Test pdf form</title>
</head>
<body>
done !
</body>
</html>
- Register the script by refreshing the page http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/index
or with curl -X POST "-uadmin:admin" -d "reset=on" http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/index (as mentioned by Jeff Potts)
- try it with from a pdf
use a plain button, select "Submit", Submit to URL = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/pdfform?guest=true&fileName=myFileName.xml&title=myTitle& description=myDescription", Sumit As = XDP
Test done with Alfresco 3.3CE, LiveCycle 8.2.1/Adobe 9.3
Hope all this will is correct as I'm learning web scripts,

How to submit both HTTP post and a PDF

I would like to know how to submit HTTP post and a PDF to a HTTPS web server that will have a php code to parse. Any ideas would be great.
-Dev

If you drop a regular button on the form and make it a submit button. In teh Submit panel you can control what is being submitted. One of the options is a PDF and another is an XDP (XML Data Package) where you can control what is in th epackage. One of the options for the package is the completed PDF (base64 encoded). If you use the XDP option you will get all of your data in XML and you will get the completed PDF in a separate node. I believe the node is Chunk. Then you can get the Chunk node an decode it and voila there is your data and completed PDF in a single transmission.

Difference between HTTP Post and Webservice call

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the difference between HTTP Post and Webservice Calls and also how each one of them is acheived through BPEL.
Thanks,
Adi

Hi Adi,
The protocol may be the same but the "idea" is different...
I recommend you reading this:

Http Proxy and Java Web Start 1.4.2_08

Hi All,
I'm confused as to how Java Web Start is supposed to work with an HTTP proxy. I'm testing an application in an environment which has an http proxy.
Our application starts successfully with Web Start but the application is failing to connect to URLs. I have dumped the properties right when the app starts and proxyHost, proxyPort, http.proxyHost, http.ProxyPort are all set correctly. But every attempt to connect to URLs timeout.
Note that running under 1.5, I get the value of the
javaplugin.proxy.config.list property and use it to set the properties http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort. Then I am able to connect successfully to the same URLs which failed in 1.4.2_08 ( also fails
with 1.4.2_03).
Can someone please help me understand what's wrong here?
Many thanks,
Jason

Actually, what I observed, in 1.4.2_08, is that the https.proxy* properties are being set. The http.proxy* properties are not set.
in 1.5.0_04 none of the properties are set except for
javaplugin.proxy.config.list, which I use to set http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort.

HTTP POST and Internet Explorer

Sorry for the cross post, but after reading through this newsgroup, it
 seems that this audience is better suited to answer this question...
 ===========================
 We're running across a very strange bug that is happening only in
 Internet Explorer and only when posting form data. Netscape works
 completely fine every single time.
 The user experience is this:
 Using IE, I get to a JSP that's got a form. I click a button on said
 form that performs either a "Save" or a "Cancel" action and am
 immediately hit with the wonderful "This page cannot be displayed(Cannot
 find server or DNS Error)" IE error message.
 What happens on the server side is this:
 User posts a form to a JSP. The JSP does any processing that it needs
 to, which in the case of "Cancel" is nothing, and issues these commands:
 response.sendRedirect("/some/page.jsp");
 return; //exit program immediately!
 I've verified that the server is executing as expected, sending the
 response and returning out of the program. That's where things seem to
 go awry in Internet Explorer. It's as if IE is not interpreting the
 HTTP response header correctly and just dies not knowing where to go.
 The even stranger thing is that, when running WLS on our internal
 network, this does not happen unless your dialed up. However, when
 hitting our servers that are colocated, this happens on a regular basis.
 One more thing to note is that this does not happen every time. It
 happens more than 90% of the time, but not every time, which is why it's
 very hard for me to recreate.
 Another strange thing is that this error seems to depend on the content
 of the form
 variables, for instance I can have a form with check boxes that errors
 out when the
 check boxes are unchecked, but is fine when the boxes are checked, and
 in both
 cases I'm not doing anything at all with the data that is getting
 posted.
 I've tried everything from changing the http headers to changing the
 post to be
 multipart encoded, and nothing works.
 If you've got a clue or a hint or any suggestions where I should be
 looking, then please let me know. I've got a few more things to check
 out, but I'm running out of ideas.
 Our platform:
 - RedHat Linux 6.0
 - WebLogic Server 4.5.1 Service Pack 5
 - JDK 1.2.2 (Sun/Blackdown)
 These JSPs:
 - Are posting form data ("GET" works for some reason)
 - Are not using any JavaScript


Hi Chris/All,
 Following on from this I contacted WebLogic support (Frederic). They
 suggested I downgrade from 4.5.1 sp8 to 4.5.1 sp7. They also suggested I
 use HttpResponse.encodeURL()...
 This did not solve my problem but I went on to discover the following...
 Hi Frederic,
 We tried with sp7
 I thought HttpResponse.encodeURL just encoded session data where no cookie
 support was in the browser, but I tried it anyway.
 Also tried the following to the page I'm redirecting back to (to prevent
 browser cacheing)
 resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); file://HTTP 1.1
 resp.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); file://HTTP 1.0
 resp.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); file://prevents caching at the proxy
 server
 Also added the following to override the standard implementation
 protected long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest req)
 System.out.println("ServletA.getLastModified"); // ensure lastModified is
 always in the future requiring a reload
 return Long.MAX_VALUE;
 The only way I've been able to force this to work is a bit of a cludge and
 is as follows...
 // add time to queryString to fool IE5 into thinking this is a new web page.
 String parentURL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(req) + "?" + req.getQueryString()
 + "&t=" + System.currentTimeMillis();
 The following is also of interest

HTTP POST and open external result

Hi
Now I'm working through payment system.
I created APEX process like this:
DECLARE
post_str VARCHAR2 (4000) := 'p1=A&p2=B';
req UTL_HTTP.req;
resp UTL_HTTP.resp;
v_buffer VARCHAR2 (1024);
BEGIN
req :=
UTL_HTTP.begin_request (url => 'http://www.somesite.com/index.php',
method => 'POST'
UTL_HTTP.set_header (r => req,
NAME => 'Content-Type',
VALUE => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
UTL_HTTP.set_header (r => req,
NAME => 'Content-Length',
VALUE => LENGTH (post_str)
UTL_HTTP.write_text (r => req, DATA => post_str);
resp := UTL_HTTP.get_response (r => req);
LOOP
UTL_HTTP.read_line (resp, v_buffer, TRUE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_buffer);
END LOOP;
UTL_HTTP.end_response (resp);
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_HTTP.end_of_body
THEN
UTL_HTTP.end_response (resp);
END;
Generaly it works but on the end I have to receive result from external site (http://www.somesite.com/index.php). In this site is PHP FORM wchich a have to manualy submit, according this probably in my process I have to exit from APEX but I don't know how. Of course exit has to be with this same POST session.

If nobody can halp me, maybe other way will be easier for example:
I want page created in apex with form, but form has to send value to external Web Page. (One condition I can't use link with values /GET method/)

HTTP POST to a php script

I have a java applet and I need to write to a file, since I can't do that directly, I am calling a php script to write to the file. Here is the relevant code in the .java file
URL myURL=null;
URLConnection urlConn=null;
DataOutputStream printout=null;
DataInputStream input=null;
try{
 myURL=new URL(getCodeBase(),"writeFromFile.php");
 }catch(Exception easidghih){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"WRITETOFILE");}
try{
 urlConn=myURL.openConnection();
 }catch(Exception w){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"openConnection()");w.printStackTrace();}
try{urlConn.setDoInput(true);
 urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
catch(Exception a){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Exception here");}
try{
 urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
 PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(urlConn.getOutputStream());
 out.println("File="+username+"P.txt"+"&text="+(Long.toString(number)));
 out.close();the text of the php file, "writeFromFile.php" is below.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<?php
print "BOB";
$File=$_POST["File"];
$text=$_POST["text"];
$filename=$File;
$fp=fopen($filename,"w");
$string=$text;
$write=fputs($fp,$string);
fclose($fp);
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>The file writing works fine when I have a separate file with a form to fill out in HTML. But when I run the java applet it gives no errors, but the file writing doesn't work.

have made a php file what will display a number,
<?
$brush_price = 5;

HTTP POST and socket

Hi,
I'm trying to post data with the code below, using a Socket.
The server answers with HTTP/1.1 200 OK, but doesn't get the parameters.
I don't want to use HttpUrlConnection because I do need a timeout.
So if anyone feels like checking my code, here it is (sample, i've removed the "try-catches" to reduce it):
Socket soc = new Socket(host, port);
soc.setSoTimeout(timeout);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(soc.getOutputStream()));
BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(soc.getInputStream()));
//maybe the line below is wrong... I'm searching...
String data = "name=krosso\notherParameter=value";
String outString = "POST /useradm/testComm2.htm HTTP/1.0\nContent-Length: "+data.length()+"\n\n"+data;
System.out.println("Request = ["+outString+"]");
out.println(outString);
out.flush();
System.out.println("Response = [");
String s;
while(true)
     s=b.readLine();
     if (s==null) break;
     System.out.println(s);
System.out.println("]");
Thanks!

POST request are writte like GET requests:
name=myName&address=myAddress ....
After the Header there is a linefeed carriage return pair:
\r\n\r\n
A Header could look like this:
POST /file.php HTTP/1.0 //-->"\n"
Content-length: 35 //-->"\r\n\r\n"
name=myName&address=myAddress
But it still doesnt work over Socket, don�t ask me why...
If there you have found the solution please post it here. THX

HTTP Post and Java Stack

Does the java stack need to be installed for ECC5 to send a message via HTTP?
Edited by: Kim Holloway on Dec 16, 2010 10:55 PM

ECC is can send the data through ABAP Stack , No java stack required.

Retrieve data/files fro HTTP POST request in On-Demand process

Hello,
I would like to integrate https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload to my APEX 4.2 application inside XE11g. I would like to use this kind of jQuery component, multiple file upload, use Drag & Drop, image resize, size limit, filter extensions etc...
This jQuery component and also others javascript uploaders sends data files to some defined URL. Developer need to build some servlet, php script or something on server side that will read files from HTTP request and stores it somewhere.
Do you know how to do it in APEX? How can I read data from HTTP POST request in PL/SQL? Now I can only call my On-Demand application process from javascript, but I am not able to read any data from HTTP POST in it.
Can I do it in APEX, or using MOD_PLSQL?
I would like to implement this:
1) some javascript uploader will call some URL of my application and sends HTTP POST with data files
2) I will read data files from HTTP POST and store them into database
3) I will create some HTTP response for javascript uploader
Thank you for some tips

I know about that existing plugin " Item Plugin - Multiple File Upload"
But I doesn't work in IE and has only basic features. Licence for commercial use is also needed. I would like to use some existing jQuery plugin. There are many of these plugins with nice features. And only one problem is that I need to create some server side process/servlet/script.. that can recieve HTTP request, get files from it and stores them into DB.

How to receive XML from Flex HTTP POST

Hi,
We curreontly have a setup where we have a FLEX frontend send an XML through a HTTP POST and awaiting a response also in XML. On the backend this is handled relatively simply by a PHP script that basically does the following:
read data (in XML)from FlEX HTTP POST into a new temp XML file.
execute a c++ program with the XML file as one of the parameter.
return the result to FLEX
We have decided to move to BlazeDS for various reasons.
Looking at the examples bundled with BlazeDS they have a jsp example that returns an XML result to FLEX so that part is fine. I am trying to find an example of JSP (or Servlet) that is able to read the XML data from FLEX and write it into a temp XML file. I would then try to use runtime.exec to invoke a local C++ program to process the XML file the result of which will be sent back to FLEX.
Any help will be very much appreciated!

<div class=Section1> color:#1F497D'>I’d avoid calling an executable just to process XML –your application server would provide enough support for reading and writing XML, no? Also, if you’re only planning on working with XML then even BlazeDS might be overkill because its focus is on sending strongly typed ActionScript data efficiently to and from a client (it’s true that it does have a proxy service, but that is not involved with processing the actual XML data).<o:p></o:p> color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p> color:#1F497D'>How complex is your XML?

Beginner question: support to HTTP POST om Oracle AS

Hi!
I don't know if this is a suitable forum but since i use JDeveloper and Oracle BPEL I'll try my luck here :).
I have a Java web application built in JDeveloper and a couple of BPEL processes.
In these processes I use Java embedding (a piece of Java code) that opens a connection to a given URL and post a XML message to this URL. I didn't have much problems creating these processes.
Now I have to provide a support to HTTP POST on my side. Since web application and services development are quite new to me I hope someone can point me the right way to do this. The requirements I have are: I can have a single URL to which the http POSTs will be issued.
If I understand correctly I cant use a web service since I have to enable different types of XML posts. What are my options? Can I create some kind of listener for http POSTs? Can I create a jspx that will 'wait' for http posts and than call some of mine BPEL processes? Is there a way to create a BPEL process that 'waits' for http POSTs? Are there other options.
I'd really appreciate any pointers on this.
Regards,
BB.

Frank,
I've tried creating a Servlet listener that implements HttpSessionListener interface. Now I have two methods, sessionCreated and sessionDestroyed but I don't know where to go next. I can't find any documentation on this issue yet.
Should I create a jspx page with form node that has method attribute set to POST or maybe I don't even need a web page? I already have a login page that has a form with method set to POSt, will this pose any kind of troubles for me?
I apologize for any stupid questions but as I said I have no experience in doing this and las couple of days I'm searching and reading different documentation on this topic so any more pointers would be appreciated.

HTTP POST Request? How? Please Help!

Hi maybe this is a simple question. But I was able to do a GET Request from an applet to an ASP page just fine but I am having problems with the POST Request. How do you do a HTTP POST and put the parameter on the post data?
This is what I am doing:
url = new URL(queryParam);
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// IS THIS CORRECT WAY TO ADD PARAMETER TO POST
connection.setRequestProperty("name","javaguy");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( connection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();

The setRequestProperty() method is used to add HTTP headers to the request. The way you pass "post" parameters is to send them as the body of the message in "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" form. In other words, create a string of URLEncoded "name=value" pairs delimited by '&', just like you would see in the URL when making a GET request through the browser:
String paramStr = "name=javaguy&occupation=web+developer" ;
byte[] paramBuf = paramStr.getBytes("ISO-8859-1") ;
url = new URL(queryParam);
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// THIS CORRECT WAY TO ADD PARAMETER TO POST
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(paramBuf.length)) ;
OutputStream out = connection.getOutputStream() ;
out.write(paramBuf) ;
out.flush() ;
out.close() ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( connection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();Good luck!
