JS error while using input fields with type=file on XP SP2

Hi all,
we found a new problem in applications which use input fields with type=file running in a browser on Microsoft Windows XP with SP2.
A typical test layout might look like:
<html>
<head>
    <title>File-Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="/cgi-bin/upload.pl" method=post
          enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type=file size=50 maxlength=100000 name="file"
             accept="text/*"><br>
      <button onclick="document.forms[0].submit();">Send</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
When you add a link without the fully qualified path (for example pic01.jpg instead of c:\pictures\pic01.jpg) and click on the 'Send' button, nothing happens and you get a Javascript error 'Access denied'.
The solution can be found in the MS Knowledge Base article 892442:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;892442
We still investigate this issue and will inform you about the further proceeding.

Problem with custom tag attribute types

Hi,
I try to figure out how to pass an attribute to a custom tag that is of a type other than "String"?
In my case, I should pass an attribute with a type of "java.util.ResourceBundle".
My tag looks like this:
<tt:cs sel="ab" ce="<%= java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle("de", Application.getApp().getLocale())%>" />
I always get the message that the attribute ce is empty.
Isn't it possible to have attirbutes that are of an other type than string? How could I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Regards Patrick

In JSP 1.2, in the Tag Library Descriptor, you can specify a tagt attribute as
<attribute>
   <name>attr1</name>
   <required>true|false|yes|no</required>
   <rtexprvalue>true|false|yes|no</rtexprvalue>
   <type>fully-qualified_type</type>
</attribute> Notice the XML element <type>fully-qualified_type</type>
Not sure if you can do this in JSP 1.1

Problem with import tag in xsl files and include in xsd files

Hello,
I've been developing an application using JBoss as server. Then, i created an especific path for xsd and another path for xsl files. In both cases, i created a main file that include (xsd) or import (xsl) the other files. My problem is that i have to specify the exactly path where the imported xsl or the included xsd files are, even though they are in the same path as the main file. What i want to know is how i say that the other xsd and xsl files are in the same path that the main file that is importing them?
here's an example of my import and include declarations:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
     <xsl:import href="../server/jboss/deploy/application.ear/pack.jar/xsl/transformer1.xsl"/>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
          elementFormDefault="qualified">
     <xsd:include schemaLocation="../server/jboss/deploy/application.ear/pack.jar/xsd/schema1.xsd"/>
thanks for your help

yes, thats not the value returned of
URL url = this.getClass().
                    getResource("/xsl//transformer.xsl");the expression i posted is an string i'm using to test.... but i think it's not incorrect, because if the files i'm trying to open are not in the path, he throws the following exception:

Problems with input tags

When i use a input text with a modelReference to a Bean the
input field shows the data from the bean. this is OK !
But when i delete the data from this input field
and submit the form the data will not be delete in the Bean.
At start time the Bean attribute is null.
Why ?
<jsp:useBean id="TestBean" class="net.wcms.jsf.tests.model.TestBean" scope="session" />
<f:use_faces>
<h:form formName="testForm" id="testForm">
<h:input_text id="testname"
modelReference="TestBean.name"/>
<h:command_button id="a_insert" label="speichern" commandName="save">
<f:action_listener type="net.wcms.jsf.tests.listener.TestFormActionListener"/>
</h:command_button>
</h:form>
</f:use_faces>
Sorry for my English !

I think also this is a bug.
It was a good idea to Change the Model in application handler or
in action listener.
This is a good workaround for search forms to access the
values over the UIComponent.
I dont need a Bean in the SessionScope to review the Values after submit the Form.
Thanks ! :-)

HTML form posting with input type="file"

Hi,
I am trying to create a servlet to accept POST requests sent from a form which has an input field of type="file".
When I first tried I found that I was only recieving the filename of the file and not getting any contents.. I then found out that I needed enctype="multipart/form-data" in my html form tag.
Now my servlet isn't picking up any of the form data plus the reader returned by HttpServletRequest.getReader() just throws an IOException whenever I use it..
I have tried to google for how to get this working but I haven't found much. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks cool..
I also found this after some late night googling..
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=1045507
I'm trying to not use one of these utility classes for now until I find out exactly how they get their data from the HttpServletRequest object..

Simulate FileUpload via HTTP Plain Adapter (input field type = file)

Our Partner would like to get the payload via html input parameter with type=file.
The Szenario:
The payload is generatet in one CRM System as an individual structure. We send the payload via proxy to the integration enginge. Is it possible to simulate the fileupload technology of a simple html form with input field with type=file.
Any idea is helpfull. Thanks!

Hi Stefan,
thank you for the tipps. I know about epilog parameters of plain http adapter and i. e. xslt mappings.
I don' t know how the simple html upload works and if it is possible to build multipart upload?
Manualy upload is resolvable with
<HTML>
     <HEAD>
          <TITLE>Upload</TITLE>
     </HEAD>
     <BODY>
          <FORM ACTION="/cgi-sample/upload.pl" METHOD="post"
                                            ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
                     File: <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file"><BR>
                               <INPUT TYPE="submit">
          </FORM>
     </BODY>
</HTML>
Meanwhile, we have solved the problem with a simple xslt mapping for plain html on the receiver side.
Kind regards
Jochen

Input type file go outside portal

Hi i'm writing a portlet that allow the user to save files to a server, to do that i got a classic button:
<input id="Attachment1" type="file" runat="server" NAME="Attachment1">
everything works fine, but in the portlet i got a link button to navigate to a previous page inside the portlet, pressing the button i go outside the portal. Does anybody have a solution?
Thanks.

If you need kind of UI wizard in plumtree you have 4 options (at list known to me), all of them have + and -
1) Popup. You have base portlet UI inside page/community but make real submit in popup. Then you have popup in place and can navigate (forwad/back) there. URL still need to be gatewayed. Here you also need to work around Plumtree session expired issue and take care about close popup in case user close parent window. Here you can use Struts as well in case MVC and so on.
2) Hosted mode. This is where you have the only instance of portlet in place. All you need to make sure your navigation URL is gatewayed (transfered by plumtree, just see source). No plumtree expired session issue, you can
use Struts. Works fine for applications that required some advanced navigation and you don't need other portlets on the page.
3) Navigation in base portlet (JSR-168, view mode).
Here you will have render for all portlets on the page but your portlet is the only one who does real action. The way to do this is CHANGE portlet state by using portlet settings. No Struts, no session Plumtree session expired issue. So you portlet will be rendering different and you can navigate whatever you want. All you need to do here is call your action, change state (some portlet settiongs) and then be back to portal:
ptpContext.getResponse().returnToPortal()
Then you will need to write base portlet to render different depends of portlet settings.
4) Adaptive portlets. Here is kind of Plumtree implementation of AJAX idea. You can make asyncronous call to server side. I don't think this is what you need now.
NOTE: Make sure your URL to be back IS gatewayed. The best way to do it is view HTML source you got on client.

How to get the path of input type="file" tag

-- im using <input type="file"> tag to get an input file from a local host, it returns only the filename but not the complete path of the filename,,,
-- i need to know on how to get the compelete path /directory of the filename using <input type="file"> tag , or is there any other way to get an input file from a local host aside from <input type="file"> tag?
thanks

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/input_file.asp?frame=true
When a file is uploaded, the file name is also submitted. The path of the file is available only to the machine within the Local Machine security zone. The value property returns only the file name to machines outside the Local Machine security zone. See About URL Security Zones for more information on security zones.
i need to know on how to get the compelete path /directory of the filename
using <input type="file"> tag You can't. Its a security thing.
is there any other way to get an input file from a local host aside from <input type="file"> tag?No. Not using just html.
You could always go into activex components, but thats different again.
Cheers,

Problems with clearing files from input type="file"

I'm using &lsaquo;input type="file".. to upload files in some javascript.
The page containing the &lsaquo;input type="file".. is not reloaded, so data on the &lsaquo;input type="file".. is not cleared.
I've done this with form.reset() in IE, which cleares files from &lsaquo;input type="file".., but this doesn't work in Firefox. The next time I try to submit a file two files are submitted.
I've even tried to replace the &lsaquo;input type="file".. to clear all data, but if i replace it with a &lsaquo;input type="file".. with same id, the files is still there from before.
So my question is, how do I clear files selected

The firmware/file system on the iPhone is locked unless you jailbreak your iPhone. The sync function via a USB cable and iTunes is the only way to add or retreive data unless your phone is jailbroken (and that is limited to music, movies, contacts, pictures, etc)
There are applications in App Store which will create a file storage system on your iPhone and allow your PC to access those folders/files via WiFi network (iFiles is one, there are others)
iBluetooth requires your phone to be jailbroken.
You can use a bluetooth connection from iPhone to PC to play music only thru the PC speakers without having a jailbroken phone.
If all you want to do is transfer pictures, iTunes will do that. It is already set up, just plug in the phone, and go to the photos tab and choose which picture app on the PC to transfer the photos into. Then everytime you sync your phone, it pulls the new pictures off the camera roll.

[SOLED] Firefox input type = file selects the wrong file

When I have use a webpage in firefox that has an upload feature, Firefox often selects the wrong file. I can reproduce this problem by simply creating a form with an input tag like this:
<input type="file" />
When I enter the file selection screen and open fileA the input box contains fileA, fileB or fileC. It seems kind of random to me. I use KDE 4.5 btw, if that matters.
Last edited by Wilco (2010-08-07 08:24:35)

It seems to be some kind of kde problem. When I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/* it works fine. I tried deleting the all files in share/config starting with a-m and it still didn't work. Then I deleted every file from n-z and it didn't work so it's probably a combination of files that give these problems. I don't feel like setting up KDE all over again so damn, it's back to Icewm, again...

CFFORM/CFINPUT Type = File Problem

Hello everyone-
I'm trying to use a CFINPUT/FILE field in a CFFORM:
<CFINPUT TYPE="file" NAME="scanArticleLocation"
class="sans9">
Clicking on the Browse button appears to populate the text
input box with a valid path, but when the field
"scanArticleLocation" is passed on by the form, I get this:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ScanArticleLocation"
VALUE="C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp12527.t mp">
Wether I click on the form's "Browse" button to specify the
file's path, or manually enter it, the result is the same (only the
.tmp file name changes). Anyone ever come across this one?
Thanks in advance...
- Tom Tedeschi

It appears that the problem was in the CFFORM tag itself. I
originally had specified that it be multi-part:
<CFFORM name="UpdateForm" ACTION="insertForm2.cfm"
enctype="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST">
When I removed the enctype parameter, it worked fine:
<CFFORM name="UpdateForm" ACTION="insertForm2.cfm"
METHOD="POST">
