KM file upload configuration

Hi,
Am trying to upload a file onto the portal's KM while there is already a file existing with the same name in this particular folder. Instead of replacing the existing file, it seems to be appending '_0' to the name of the new file and uploading it as a separate file.
Is there any KM configuration parameter on EP6 SP2 that controls this behaviour? Whenever uploaded, I would like the KM to replace the existing file(if any) with the newer one and prompt the user with a warning.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks
Shakeel

Hi Shakeel,

How to configure file upload restriction by file extension?

Hi All,
I want to know if its possible to restrict the file upload for any file extensions in CM Repositories. For example, I want that the users can not upload .avi files. Can I configure that restriction?
Regards and Thanks,
Arnau Rovira

Hi,
> How can I create a repository service?
> It's like a web service?
No. A repository service is a standard pluggable service within the KM framework. Search for "repository service" on SDN for further details.
> can I copy the upload command
> from the actual repository service
The upload command is the upload command is the upload command. It is not bound to any repository service.
Yes, you can try to extract all implementation classes for the actual upload command and create a new one under a new namespace and modify the interesting parts after decompilation. But be warned: Your questions signal that you are a beginner in the KM framework, and the things described so far are more in the direction "hardcore development"...
Hope it helps nevertheless

Calendar & File Upload Components - Threadinar6

Hi All,
This is the sixth in the "Threadinar" series , please see Threadinar5 at
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=99473 for details
In this Threadinar we will focus on the
"Calendar" and "File Upload" Components
Let us begin our discussion with the Calendar Component.
Calendar Component
You can drag the Calendar component "calendar component icon" from the Palette's Basic category to a page open in the Visual Designer to create an entry field with an integrated calendar pop-up to help the user pick dates for the field.
You can also drop the calendar on a container component, like a table cell or group box.
After dragging the component to the Visual Designer, you can work with the following useful properties of the Calendar Component:-
General
* id. Type: String
The name of the Calendar component in the page bean and the JSP file.
Appearance
* columns. Type: int
The number of character columns used to render the component. The default value is 20.
* dateFormatPattern. Type: String
The format of the date to be entered by the user. It is not usually necessary to set this property because a pattern is chosen automatically based on the locale.
If you prefer to specify a date format, click the ellipsis button (...) to the right of the property and select a predefined date format from the property editor's list. You can also add your own formats. If you add a format, the values you can enter are limited to some combination of yyyy for the year, MM for the month, and dd for the day separated by separator characters. Typical separator characters are / (slash), . (period), and - (dash). For example, the following date formats are acceptable:
o MM/dd/yyyy
o yyyy.MM.dd
o MM-dd-yyyy
* dateFormatPatternHelp. Type: text
Text that appears below the date entry field and shows the format pattern that the date entry field accepts. If you have not set the dateFormatPattern property, the help text is chosen automatically for you. If you have set the dateFormatPattern property, you should bind the dateFormatPatternHelp property to a localized string that matches the setting for each locale you want to support.
* label. Type: String
A label that appears next to the text entry field, typically describing what the user is supposed to enter.
o Note: The label property is not as flexible as the Label component. You can use the Label component if you want more control over the label's appearance, such as positioning of the label relative to the component.
* labelLevel. Type: int
A number that affects the appearance of the label. 1 (Strong) is larger and bold. 2 (Medium), the default, is smaller and bold. 3 (Weak) is smaller and normal (not bold). This property takes effect only if the label property is set.
* style. Type: String
Cascading Style Sheet rules (CSS level 2) to be applied to the component. For example:
position: absolute; left: 288px; top: 312px
You can enter values directly or click the ellipsis (...) button to use the Style Editor.
o Note: This property overrides any settings in the theme or the project CSS file for this component. If a style specified in this property does not appear to take effect, it is because an area of the component is obscured by a child component that has different style settings.
For a list of CSS2 style attributes, see the web page at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/propidx.html
* styleClass. Type: String
A space-separated list of CSS2 style classes to be applied when the component is rendered. The style classes must be defined in the project's style sheet or in the theme's CSS file. If you click the ellipsis button (...), you see a list of all styles you can add to this property. For information on adding CSS classes and rules to the project's cascading style sheet, see CSS Editor.
o Note: See the note above under the style property description for an explanation of why a class added to this property might appear to have no effect on the component.
o Note: If you add a CSS style class from the current theme to your project CSS file and you redefine the style class, the change affects all components that use this style class. However, you can add your own style classes to the project CSS file that redefine the default style classes, and then when you add them to this property, the changes affect only this instance of this component.
For the defaulttheme.jar CSS style classes for this component, see Calendar Component CSS Classes.
Data
* maxDate. Type: java.util.Date
The last date that the user can select. The default value is four years from the date set in the minDate property, for a total span of five years.
* minDate. Type: java.util.Date
The earliest date that the user can select. The default value is the value of the selectedDate property, which defaults to the current date if that property is not set.
* required. Type: boolean
If selected, the user must enter a value for the calendar before the page can be submitted. If you add a Message component to the page and link its for property to this component, an error message will be displayed if the user tries to submit the page without entering a value.
* selectedDate. Type: Date
A java.util.Date object representing the calendar date selected by the user. If you right-click the component and choose Bind to Data, you can bind this property to a data provider or object that can process the user entered value on the server.
When the component displays initially, if this property is not set, its value defaults to the current date. If you provide values for minDate and maxDate, you can also provide a value for this property that initially displays a date in that range.
* validator. Type: MethodBinding
Indicates the JavaServer Faces validator that is called when the value is submitted. A validator ensures that the correct value is entered by a user. Choose a validator from the drop-down list. If you choose (null), no validator is called. If you choose a validator, also select the required property to ensure that the validator is used. For descriptions of JavaServer Faces validators, see the list of topics at List of Validators.
o Note: If you define your own validate method, for example, by right-clicking the component and choosing Edit Event Handler > validate, any value you might have set in this property is overridden.
File Upload Component
You can drag the File Upload component "file upload component icon" from the Palette's Basic category to the Visual Designer to create an entry field and a browse button that opens a file chooser dialog on the local system, enabling the user either to select a file or to type a file name into the entry field. When the page is submitted, a copy of the file's contents is sent to the web application.
The component is similar to an HTML <input type="file"> element.
* Note: This component is neither supported by nor available in portlet projects due to security reasons.
* Note: The size of the component in the Visual Designer might not match the size of the component when it is rendered in a web browser, making the component appear to line up correctly in the Visual Designer, but not when the page is rendered in the user's web browser. Also, the rendering of this component can differ depending on the web browser. Be sure to test the component in the web browsers that you expect your users to use. For example, if you add a width setting to the style property that is smaller than the setting in the columns property, Internet Explorer observes only the width setting, while the Mozilla browser ignores it and sets the width according to the number of characters in the columns property.
The File upload component uses a filter, a com.sun.rave.web.ui.util.UploadFilter object that is configured for you in the web application's deployment descriptor. The UploadFilter uses the Apache commons fileupload package. You might need to change these settings in the following two cases:
* The server holds the uploaded file in memory unless it exceeds 4096 bytes; otherwise, the server holds the file contents in a temporary file. You can change this threshold by modifying the sizeThreshold parameter for the UploadFilter filter entry in the web application's web.xml file.
* By default, the File Upload component can handle files up to one megabyte in size. You can change the maximum file size by modifying the maxSize parameter for the UploadFilter filter entry in the application's web.xml file.
o
A negative value for the maxSize parameter indicates that there is no file size limit. Setting the parameter to a negative value is not recommended for security reasons. For example, if you allow unlimited file sizes, a malicious user could mount a denial of service attack on your site by using extremely large files
* To change the settings for the UploadFilter object in the web.xml file:
1. In the Files window, expand project-name > web > WEB-INF.
2. Double-click the web.xml node to open the file in the XML editor.
3. Click the Filters toolbar button.
4. In the UploadFilter section under Initialization Parameters, you can change the values for the maxSize and sizeThreshold parameters.
The contents of the uploaded file, together with some information about it, are stored in an instance of com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile. By using this object, you can get the content of the file as a String or write the contents to disk, as well as get properties such as the name and the size of the file. In the interest of conserving memory, the contents and file data are only available during the HTTP request in which the file was uploaded. To access the contents of the uploaded file, bind the uploadedFile property to a bean property of type com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile. Have the setter or an action method process the file.
The UploadedFile interface has methods for getting the name and size of the file, determining the file's MIME type (such as text/plain or image/jpeg), getting the file's contents as bytes or as a String, and writing the contents to disk. To learn more, in the Java editor, right-click on UploadedFile in a declaration statement and choose Show JavaDoc from the pop-up menu.
* To set the component's properties, select the component and edit its properties in the File Upload Properties Window.
* Right-click the component and choose one of the following pop-up menu items:
o Edit validate Event Handler. Opens the Java Editor with the cursor positioned in the component's validate method so you can insert code to validate the value of the component.
o Set Initial Focus. Gives this component focus when the user opens the page.
o Auto-submit on Change. Causes the form to be automatically submitted if the value of the component changes. Sets the component's JavaScript onclick property to common_timeoutSubmitForm(this.form, 'component-id');. At runtime, this code causes the form to be automatically submitted if the user changes the component value. Once the form is submitted, conversion and validation occur on the server and any value change listener methods execute, and then the page is redisplayed.
A component configured to Auto-submit on Change can use virtual forms to limit the input fields that are processed when the form is submitted. If the auto-submit component is defined to submit a virtual form, only the participants in that virtual form will be processed when the auto-submit occurs.
o Bind to Data. Bind the component's text property to an object or to a data provider. For more information, see Bind to Data Dialog Box.
o Property Bindings. Bind any of the component's properties to an object or data provider, such as the uploadedFile property to a bean property of type com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.UploadedFile.
o Configure Virtual Forms. Enables you to add the component to a virtual form.

File upload java errors...HEEELPPP!

All was working fine for months, now getting java errors in my ADDT. Mostly related to file uploads, or image uploads. I found that I don't get these errors in older sites that I've worked with, but I've created a new site and started from scratch and I'm still getting them.
Here are the errors and what I'm doing:
*I go insert record form wizard (in ADDT)
*One field is a date, others are text, one is an integer, one is a file field
That works ok up to here.
*Then I choose ADDT > File upload. I get the following error immediately: "While executing canApplyserverBehavior in kb_FileUpload.htm, a javascript error occured."
*I click ok, the wizard box attempts to load and it give me the error: "While executing onLoad in kb_FileUpload.htm, the following javascript errors occured:
At line 354 of the file "Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CS3:Configuration:Shared:DeveloperToolbox:classes:triggerUtil.js":
TypeError: hash[transactionColumn[k]].push is not a fuction.
I'm totally tearing my hair out, not to mention not hitting deadlines with this... can anyone help. I've tried removing the fileCache, rebuilding the site cache, removing and rebuilding the includes folder, removing and reinstalling ADDT. HEEEEEELLLLLPPP.

Hi
Please look into this about the destination
Pathname of directory in which to upload the file. If not an
absolute path (starting a with a drive letter and a colon, or a
forward or backward slash), it is relative to the ColdFusion
temporary directory, which is returned by the GetTempDirectory
function.

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, ...

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]

ICR - FBICS3 file upload process

Dear experts,
In the process of ICR to we want to use the file upload option in the FBICS3(select documents) for reconciliation of the docs. And our file is placed in the application server. We have maintained the configuration in FBIC032 for the company codes(Here we are using multiple company codes), we mentioned the logical file path, custom structure as this file has some new fileds and we are data source as file upload in the data source field in this(FBIC032) config. But when I run the FBICS3 transaction it is not selecting the documents from the file placed on the application server. Can some one help me on this, whether i missed something in the config?
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi Rafael,
Thank you for your answer.
But the file upload functionality is not activated by the transfer type config but by the data source config (=File upload), no?
Unfortnulately, the field data source cannot be modified for process 002 (always equals Documents of current process)

File upload fails

File upload fails when the file is larger than about 50kb. The upload returns a blank page when it fails. I have searched the world over and cannot find an answer to this problem. Does anyone have any suggestion of what to do?
Thank you,
Chris

What mechanism are you using to handle uploaded files? Some libraries place a configurable limit on the size of the file.

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
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.
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).

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.

Apache Bridge HTTP POST problems on large file upload

I have a problem uploading files larger than quarter a mega, the jsp
page does a POSTto a servlet which reads the input stream and writes to
a file.
Configuration: Apache webserver 1.3.12 connected to the Weblogic 5.1
application server via the bridge(mod_wl_ssl.so) from WebLogic Service
pack 4.
The upload goes on for about 30 secs and throws the following error.
"Failure of WebLogic APACHE bridge:
IO error writing POST data to 100.12.1.2:7001; sys err#: [32] sys err
msg [Broken pipe]
Build date/time: Jul 10 2000 12:29:18 "
The same upload(in fact I uploaded a 8 MEG file) using the
Netscape(NSAPI) WebLogicconnector.
Any answers would be deeply appreciated.

Issues with file upload in flex mobile application (sharepoint as backend)

Hello,
I am working on flex mobile application for android platform for which we are having sharepoint as a backend.
(Flex SDK 4.6 and AIR 3.9)
Issue which we are facing is as follows:
We are communicating with the backend server using webservices: example:
<s:WebService id="kWebService" wsdl="http://www.kservice.net/kdatabaseservice.asmx?WSDL" >
            <s:operation name="AddPost"
                         resultFormat="object"
                         result="addPostResult(event)"
                         fault="postsfaulterr(event)" />
</s:WebService>
Above services are working fine but we are facing issue with one service which is related to file upload.
File upload for <10 MB is working fine but when we try to upload larger file on server it fails to process.
We are sending bytearray to the backend and backend code is writing those bytearray into file.
We have tried many ways to overcome from this situation. like we have checked configuration for file upload size on server , we have tried wcf services as well. Please help us on this criticle point as soon as possible
Thanks

What do you mean that my video saves the contents int he server and not in transparent table? I save the data into a temporary database table so it can be accessed by the parent WDA session. From there the WDA session can do whatever it wants with it. What do you mean by transparent table - that would be a database table. Do you actually mean internal table? if so, just read the data from the temporary database table into memory.

Failed to load source - file upload post

Hello All,
I'm trying to implement an AJAX type of file upload. I'm using Sencha's upload form which creates an iframe on the go(this si doen with the parameter fileUpload true). This should take care fo the mechanics involved in AJAX file uploads inside APEX.
I can see an attempt to upload the file but then I get the response:
Failed to load source for: http://jsnotions.homelinux.com/apex/wwv_flow.accept?p_flow_id=124&p_flow_step_id=1&p_instance=1971193010922945I tried creating a branch on the page to branch to another page which has an On Page Process - On Load Before Header which returns a JSON formated message.
BEGIN
HTP.P('{"success":true}');
END;Oddly enough when I check the APEX view I see that the file has not been uploaded to the APEX server. Can anybody offer some advise or a solution to AJAX file uploading inside APEX.
Thanks in advance

Hello All,
I'm still trying to crack this one. Getting the following error.
More files were uploaded in this request than the number of file item types defined on the page.I'm using an javascript extension whihc creates and ifram through whihc I'm uploading the file. That seems to be configured properly.
As for the page setup, I've tried several variations and none seem to work.
I tried to create a file browser item, and set some hidden html class on it. Then when I use the javascript uploader, I set the value inside the file browser($s('P1_FILENAME', myval)), this was to get over previous errors of
failed to load sourceNow apex doesn't like that as well, so I'm thinking its just not possible to do a clean javascript file uploader. I guess the only option now is to create a separate page, hide the items and display it into an iframe.
Any thoughts on fileuploader with javascript inside APEX? Oh, almost forgot to mention that I'm using the fileuploaderfield from sencha.
Thanks
