Oracle adf file handling af: inputFile and convert to binary to send in

Question

Hi ...
I want to try to do is select a file by a <af: inputFile and convert it to binary without having to upload it to the UCM .... I have some idea of how it would be something like this ....
<af:form usesUpload="true">
<af:inputFile label="Upload:"
valueChangeListener="#{backingBean.fileUploaded}"/>
<af:commandButton text="Begin"/>
</af:form>
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Holder;
import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.UploadedFile;
import org.tempuri.*;
String Binary = new String();
public void fileUploaded(ValueChangeEvent event) {
UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile) event.getNewValue();
if (file != null)
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(
"Successfully uploaded file " + file.getFilename() +
" (" + file.getLength() + " bytes)");
context.addMessage(event.getComponent().getClientId(context), message);
public void llamarWs(UploadedFile file){
URL url;
try {
Holder<String> holder = new Holder<String>();
Holder<Boolean> holderResponse = new Holder<Boolean>();
url = new URL("10.10.20.152:8088/VTDWEntelSAEDWS/DWSAEDService.asmx?wsdl");
DWSAEDServiceSoap servicePort = new DWSAEDService(url, new QName("http://tempuri.org/","DWSAEDService")).getDWSAEDServiceSoap();
servicePort.uploadDocument(holder, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, holderResponse);
String respuest = holder.value;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
  but I can not make it work ...

User, please always tell us your jdev version as the solution might depend on it.
Instead of posting some code, can you please elaborate on the use case? From the code I don'T understand what you try to do. Data (file) uploaded through the af:inputFile is binary. The file may only be a text file, but it might be an image. The inputFile doen not know as it only represents the data stream send from the client.
In you code I don't see that you actually read the data from the stream, neither do I see any action on the stream. Can you describe what you mean by
but I can not make it work ...You may read http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-1/ for more info about file handling in ADF
