Implementing File Upload component + Java Mail

Guys,
Brief Intro : I have a form with some input fields. Upon submission of the form all the necessary information is submitted ro R/3 system and a mail is send to lets say administrators. I have Java Mail program for sending emails.
My requirement : I want the users to give the FileUpload option in the form so that they can select the file and that file should be attached to email whcih I am sending upon form submission.
Questions:
1) How to check the path of the file where it gets uploaded.
2) Does it get uploaded on the Server where I deploy my application.
3) Any Solution/suggestion on how to implement the requirement stated above.
Regards,
<b>Chintan Virani.</b>

Hi Chintan...
File Uplaod UI Element is just to get the file path of the file from the client or presentation server i.e. our pc. Rest code to store the data is done in action of the upload button (not the browse button). So no file is formed automatically.
Unless you write the code to read the file from the path selected, you cannot get the data bytes and unless you mention the path no file is made in the server.
Better would be that you keep a file template in the mimes folder and at runtime you write to this file.
The path of the file in the mimes folder is
temp
webdynpro
web
local
<ProjectName>
Components
<Component Package>
<File Name>
This file can be attached to your mail as an attachement.

How to use file upload component inside a portlet

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
does file upload works inside portlets ?
can some one help me with a sample code , does it need some tricks ?
Thank you

any help is welcomeLegolas,
You could try your own implementation. Someone was able to implement a file upload with Creator 2004Q4 and the O'Reilly Servlet. See http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=50186.
You will have to configure O'Reilly Servlet's "MultiPart Filter" in your application. Creator 2 uses a same approach (a filter) to accomplish this. Given that the file upload component is not supported on portlets, this leads me to the following: I don't know anything about portlets and portlet containers, but I'd check first for some architechtural restriction in the portlet subsystem that avoids the use of a filter for a file upload. If think this could be the only thing that will restrict you to implement your own file upload.
Hope this helps.

Screen hangs when user types in some text in file upload component

Dear All
I am using file upload component in webdynpro java in a custom application and added some validation logic on the file
selected. This is being used to upload jpeg files to KM repository. Now the issue is if user types some text in the file
upload input field and click on upload button the screen hangs and it goes to infinite loop. It seems that the framework is not able to accept and check the arbitrary value entered by user.
Can anyone tell me how this can be sorted out?
Thanks
Sudip

Hello Sudeep,
I have also faced the same issue and to me it seems an issue with the UI element itself. Please follow the following threads for more information:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

Hope this may be of some use.

Validator for file upload component is not working !!

This validator method for a file upload component is throwing a java.lang.NullPointerException.
public void fileUpload1_validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
long size= fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getSize();
if (size>65535){
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("Your image is too big!"));
Any help to solve this problem is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi i have a fileUpload in a pop-up and the methods are :
public void fileUpload1_validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
try {
com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile uploadedFile = ((Upload)component).getUploadedFile();
long l_filesize = uploadedFile.getSize();
if ( l_filesize > 1000000)
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("File Size should be less than 1000000 bytes! It is" + l_filesize));
else {
String tipo = uploadedFile.getContentType();
if ( tipo.compareTo("application/word") == -1 )
if ( tipo.compareTo("application/rtf") == -1 )
if ( tipo.compareTo("application/pdf") == -1 )
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("Error : los tipos de archivo aceptados son PDF, WORD y RTF"));
} catch (Exception ex) {
this.mauvaisFichier = true;
error(ex.getMessage());
public String botonValidar_action() {
if ( !this.mauvaisFichier )
if ( this.fileUpload1.getUploadedFile() != null )
if ( this.fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getSize() > 0 )
try {
this.getSessionBean1().getComunicacion().setArchivo( new javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob(this.fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getBytes() ) );
this.getSessionBean1().getComunicacion().setTipoArchivo( this.fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getOriginalName().substring(this.fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getOriginalName().length() - 3 ) );
} catch(Exception e){
e.getMessage();
return null;
I have to put a boolean value because the first time, validation code doesn't function ( the method botonValidar_action() is called ) correctly. The error message appears but empty.
If I try next time then it's ok.
Thx for any issue.

Htmlb table - File upload component

Hi all,
Is it possible to use the file upload component in a table view (htmlb for java) column?
Rgds,
Subu

Hi,
Here is one thought, there is onCellClick event for the Tableview, use that for the required column and add the file upload component as the event handler method in the onCellClick method.
Link on table view events:

File upload component in JStudio Enterprise

Dear all,
I am not sure that File Upload Component is supported in JStudio Enterprise 8.1 or not. I see that Netbeans has one: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/vwp-about_components.html.
So I thought JStudio Enterprise may have one similar. If so, can anyone tell me how to do that please?
Regards,
Kai

FileUpload component is not supported in Java Studio Enterprise. The FileUpload is a component that conforms to the spec recognized by Java Studio Creator line of products (which is now Visual Web Pack) and will not work in JSE.
You can use NetBeans 5.5 and install Visual web pack (for javafaces support), enterprise pack (which provides all capabilities of JSE) and uml on top of it. It would give you a single install with all add-ons.

File upload component and text area issue

Hi guys,
I have static text, text area and button on the same page. Text area binded to session bean value and all works fine (I can input text into text area and press button to save changes).
After adding file upload component to the same page I have got a problem - now after page refreshing the non english characters inside text gets trashed.
Other non english characters - inside static text components remains the same - the problem relates only to text area.
It looks like file upload component code has an encoding related bug. Is that a known issue?
And may be somebody have a workaround?
Thanks.

Hi Rom@n,
I did some checking and this issue is currently logged as: 6442528. It is scheduled to be available in the next patch release. I'm sorry I don't have a time frame for the patch since it is still waiting for other fixes.
Sorry for the inconvience.

Hot to call processValueChange() method of the file upload component?

When the value changes (when I choose a new file to upload) in the file upload component the processValueChange() method is not called.
I am planing to show the preview of the image to be uploaded using the processValueChange().
Thanks.

Is there a bug connected with this issue?
Thanks.

Irritating bugs in file upload component !!

Bug 1
During a postback operation the text (file path name) in the file upload component is cleared ! When a resubmit of a form is required, the user has to re-browse the file again.
Bug 2
The processValueChandge() method is never called when the value in the file upload component is changed (and the mouse is clicked outside the component).
Any suggestions or workarounds are very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I can't answer to Bug 1. That is, I don't have any solutions. If you want to submit this, go to http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/support/index.html and look at the section titled Bug Report /Feature Request
Bug 2
The processValueChandge() method is never called when
the value in the file upload component is changed
(and the mouse is clicked outside the component).This is not a bug.
processValueChange methods are server side methods and do not get called until the page is submitted to the server. Clicking outside the component will not cause the page to get submitted. If you want a client-side action (such as when focus is lost) then you can add some JavaScript.
The file upload does not have a process value change method, it is an action method and thus has a uploadFileButton_action method. This method gets called when the upload button is clicked.

File Upload Component

I can not find a function in the Upload class that will allow me to access the browse button
child component nor can I see any mention of the file upload component in the
master stylesheet of the defaulttheme jar.
what am i missing here guys?

Dear Manjunath Jayaram,
You don't think it is a problem that one can not access the child of a
composite component ???
I am sorry if you don't appreciate the problem but I can not state it any more plainly.
"I can not find a function in the Upload class that will allow me to access the browse button
child component nor can I see any mention of the file upload component in the
master stylesheet of the defaulttheme jar".

Myfaces's file upload component

I used the myfaces's file upload component in my web application. But this component needs to set the form's enctype attribute to "multipart/form-data". But after I have set this attribute, my other components in the form seemed doesn't work anymore. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you

Some people seem to be running into this. Doing these steps should fix the problem:
Right click the component library node "Basic" and choose "Manage Component Libraries". That opens the Component Library Manager window. Verify that the "On Palette" property is checked for "File Upload".
Hope it helps,
Lark

File Upload Pluggable Java Component / Java Bean

Dear Colleague,
I integrated the File Upload java bean into one of my Forms 9i forms. I also had it up and running (!!!), but after I rebooted the machine, I no longer receive the File Upload dialog window as I did originally. When I press the button which starts the File Upload, it never displays the window to select a file. My trigger is as follows:
begin
     /* Initialize the Java Bean */
     FileUploader.init('DOCU_BLOCK.FILE_UPLOADER','LOAD_CALLBACK_TRIGGER');
     /* Make sure the file is compressed on upload */
     FileUploader.setCompressed(true);
     /* Do the load to the c:\rolic\RKMS_documents\ directory on the server */
     FileUploader.UploadFile (:PARAMETER.file_destination);
/* Error Handling */
exception
when FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
message (FileUploader.GetError);
end;
I have the "uploadclient.jar" file in my folder: C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java
I list the "uploadclient.jar" file in the forms config file, formsweb.cfg as follows:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar, uploadclient.jar, RKMS_images.jar
and I reference the uploadserver.jar in the default.env file as part of the CLASSPATH as follows:
CLASSPATH=c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\debugger.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\ewt3.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\share.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\utj90.jar;C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java\UploadServer.jar
=========================================================
- Why did this work before I rebooted and now no longer???
- Any tips? Ideas?
=========================================================
The uploadclient.jar file also successfully loads as shown in the Java Console:

HI,
I'm facing nearly same problem.
When i press a button in my form to enable client to select image from there local computer, following code executes ( WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED)
declare
     exSetup EXCEPTION;
     hButton ITEM := Find_Item('UPLOAD.SELECT');
begin
if (:upload.output_dir is null) then
MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error: A output directory on the middle tier must be specified');
raise exSetup;
end if;
FileUploader.UploadFile(:UPLOAD.output_dir);
/* (:UPLOAD is a control block and output directory is a text field char 1000 having initial property = D:\IMAGE) */
exception
When FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
     MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error During Upload: '||FileUploader.getError);
When exSetup then
null;
end;
There is no compiliation error.
Runtime error is " Error During Upload: Desitnation directory does not exists or is not writeable ".
Infact destination directory D:\IMAGE exists and is readable/writable to any one ??
Any Help possible

How to implement File Upload/DownLoad in OA page

Hi All
I have to implement the File download feature of OA Framework in my Custom OA page when i click the button.
In developer's Guide i gone through this but i did'nt get what to set in
File View Attribute,
File Name Override,
File MIME Type,
and View Attribute
Please Suggest
Best regards

The information is there in the dev guide
File View Attribute - The view attribute that maps to the column that stores the file content.
File Name Override - The file name to save to when you select the File Download link and choose the Save option in the File Download window to save the file. The default file name that appears in the File Name field of the Save As dialog window is derived from the value returned from the view
attribute specified by the View Attribute property. The value of the File Name Override property overrides that default file name and is especially useful if the view attribute returns instructional text, such as "Click on this link to download the file". If the File Name Override property is not defined, then
the file name to save to is the value returned from the view attribute.
File MIME Type - The MIME type of the file. See the Runtime Control example below if you do not want to specify a static value for this property.
Data Type - The data type of the File View Attribute. The BLOB datatype is now supported for File Download as of OA Framework 11.5.10D.
