TS5179 No upload file in place

I get a notification that my upload file for iCloud is not in place. How do I remedy this issue?
Desmo

The problem here is usually one of setting up the classpath correctly on the server.
If you run the Demo Form that comes with the utility and press KEY-LISTVAL then it will pop up an alert with the current classpath in it.
If this fails and you get an error it's because Forms can't start Java on the server at all which indicates that you need to check the o/s path that is configured for the CGI to use.
In general I'd recommend using the Forms listener Servlet with this kind of code because it means that you can do all you're configuration in a simple .env file.
Have a look at the HTML document that comes with the upload utility - there are some hints at then end of it to help with the setup.

Get filename from uploaded file then place in input tags

i have an upload feature with the use of upBean and i can get the filname thru filename=file.getFileName

Thanks for reply.
I replaced messageFileUpload (binded to blob table column) with messageStyledText (binded to filename attribute). Above the table placed single messageFileUpload and submitButton nearby. After user select file on submit I do:
*if (pageContext.getParameter("DoUploadButton") != null) {*
.. DataObject fileUploadData = pageContext.getNamedDataObject("FileData");
.. *if (fileUploadData != null) {*
.... String fileName = (String)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_NAME");
.... String contentType = (String)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_MIME_TYPE");
.... BlobDomain fileContent = (BlobDomain)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, fileName);
.... String seqNumber = pageContext.getParameter("seqNumber");
.... am.insertInstanceAttachRowBlob(seqNumber, fileName, fileContent, contentType);
.... pageContext.removeNamedDataObject("FileData");
.. return;

Hi,
Am a relatively new Java programmer. I need to add a functionality to a struts web application to allow users UPLOAD a file (using browse button). I need to read the file name,, do some other checks and eventually, upload the file to a server directory.
When do I start? Any good website for source code examples?

Adobe Muse won't publish (Error uploading file)

After making simple animations using Adobe Edge Animate it seems as though none of the assets will publish with my site after importing them into Muse.
In Edge animate I saved for "web animation" and published. Then I went to muse and hit "place". I went to preview and everything works fine. When I go to publish there are always errors in uploading my assets with '.png' extensions.
Any help is much appreciated. I have completely scrapped my website and created another, reinstalled Animate and have renamed all my files, I'm not sure whats wrong here.
I got one animation working, and that can be seen here under the Photography section, but I have multiples that will be shown on my page at one time.

I get the error uploading file everytime I try publishing the animation.

FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

Hi All,
Need some assistance:
Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built. So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre. Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place. All this works perfectly fine.
My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

How to SCAN uploaded files for VIRUS in APEX

part 1:
Goal:
Do a virus scan of the uploaded file from APEX application prior to storing the file in custom tables.
The process:
Followed the document from www.developer.com:
Implementing an Anti-Virus File Scan in JEE Applications
By Vlad Kofman
Go to page: 1 2 3 Next
This article will discuss one of the ways to implement antivirus file scanning in Java, particular in the JEE applications. Viruses, Trojan Horses, and different malware and spyware are a real problem for current computer environments, and especially for the Windows operating system. If you are designing any application in Java that has a requirement to be able to upload external files, you have a potential security risk. By uploading, I mean any way to get the external file inside of the corporate firewall be it via HTTP protocol or any other means. It is quite common to have this type of requirement in an enterprise application and with Java being one of the most popular web development platforms, it is unfortunate that this type of gaping security risk is quite often overlooked.
Java's Development Kit (JDK) does not have any means to do the antivirus scan right out of the box. This is primarily because Java is a programming language, and does not have any virus scanning packages. Furthermore, anti-virus software is not Sun's area of expertise or business model. Developing this type of software (or Java package), and more importantly maintaining it, would be a huge task for Sun. Mainly because viruses are constantly evolving and keeping virus definitions up-to-date is a daunting task. Large companies such as McAffee, Symantec, or Zone Labs develop virus detecting and combating products and spend a lot of resources to maintain them.
Application Environment
To implement a virus file scan in Java, a third-party package needs to be used. For the purposes of this article, I will use Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) package, which comes with Java APIs. This package is an application that serves as a TCP/IP server and has a programming interface and enables Java applications to incorporate support for content scanning technologies. For this article, I used Symantec Scan Engine 5.1, which is available as a Unix or Windows install.
If you are using an anti-virus package from the different vendor, you will need to investigate what kind of APIs are available; however, the general approach should be similar. Also, note that my implementation can be used with JEE technology and any modern MVC framework such as Struts or Spring.
The architecture is as follows: A server machine needs to have SSE running at all times. This can be the same machine that hosts your Application Server, but in an enterprise environment this should be a different machine. The Default Port needs to be open through the firewall to allow communication with the scan engine. All JEE applications that need to do file scanning can talk to the SSE server machine through a default port. Also, multiple applications running on different application servers can re-use the same scanning server. For more information, you should refer to the Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) Installation Guide, available on the Symantec web site.
When an external file that needs to be scanned is sent to the SSE via its programming interface (Java APIs using the default port), before any other operation on the file is performed, the SSE returns a result code. For instance, a file is uploaded by an external user into the web email type application as an attachment; then, the SSE API is invoked by the application and the return code of pass or fail determines the outcome of the upload and whether that email can actually be sent. If you have an account on Yahoo mail, you probably have seen that Yahoo is using Norton Antivirus to scan all attachments, although no Java.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1: Screen shot from Yahoo
For details on the Scan Engine Server Installationm please see the Symantec Scan Engine (SSE) Implementation Guide from Symantec.
Here are some key things to remember about SSE:
•     Java 2 SE Runtime (JRE) 5.0 Update 6.0 or later must be installed on the server before the SSE installation is done.
•     After installation, verify that the Symantec Scan Engine daemon is running. At the Unix command prompt (if it's a Unix install), type the following command:
ps –ea | grep sym.
A list of processes similar to the following should appear:
o     5358 ? 0:00 symscan
o     5359 ? 0:00 symscan
If nothing is displayed the SSE process did not start.
If the SSE process did not start, type the following command to restart SSE:
/etc/init.d/symscan restart
•     Keeping the virus definition up to date is the most important task and if new updates are not installed, the whole scan becomes ineffective. Symantec automatically downloads the most current file definitions through LiveUpdate. Please make sure that firewall rules are in place to allow the host server to connect to the Symantec update service.
Project Setup
For the purposes of this article, I included a wrapper for the Symantec SSE APIs, av.jar, which has Symantec Java APIs and serves as a client to the SSE server and takes care of all communications with the server. Please refer to the download source section. The av.jar should be included in the Java CLASSPATH to work with the SSE. This jar contains a class called AVClient that takes care of actually sending the files to SSE as byte arrays and returning the result.
In my project setting, I added three variables to be accessed via the System.getProperty mechanism. For example:
AV_SERVER_HOST=192.168.1.150
AV_SERVER_PORT=1344
AV_SERVER_MODE=SCAN
The AV_SERVER_HOST is the host name or IP of the machine where Scan Engine is installed.
The AV_SERVER_PORT is the port where Scan Engine listens for incoming files.
The AV_SERVER_MODE is the scan mode which can be:
•     NOSCAN: No scanning will be done (any keyword that does not start with "SCAN" will result in ignoring the call to the Scan Engine and no files will be transferred for scanning).
•     SCAN: Files or the byte stream will be scanned, but the scan engine will not try to repair infections.
•     SCANREPAIR: Files will be scanned, the scan engine will try to repair infections, but nothing else will be done.
•     SCANREPAIRDELETE: Files will be scanned, the scan engine will try to repair infections, and irreparable files will be deleted.
Note: For the file stream (byte array) scanning, the only meaning full values are "SCAN" and "NOSCAN".
Using the SSE Scanning Java APIs
In any class where scan is required, call the scanning API provided in the AVClient object located in the av.jar. The AVClient object will establish connection to the Scan Engine server and has the following APIs:
Figure 2: The significant APIs for the communication with to the Scan Engine Server.
If scanning a file on the file system, in SCAN only mode, use the call that accepts filename only.
If scanning a file on the file system, with SCANREPAIR or SCANREPAIRDELETE, use the call that accepts input and output file names.
If scanning an in-memory file (byte array), use the call accepting byte array.
For example:
import com.av.*;
Initialize setup parameters:
static String avMode =
(System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_MODE") != null)
? (String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_MODE") : "NOSCAN";
static boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
static String avServer =
(String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_HOST");
static int avPort =
Integer.parseInt( (String) System.getProperty("AV_SERVER_PORT"));
Scan check example for an in-memory file byte array:
public void scanFile(byte[] fileBytes, String fileName)
throws IOException, Exception {
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer, avPort, avMode);
if (avc.scanfile(fileName, fileBytes) == -1) {
throw new VirusException("WARNING: A virus was detected in
your attachment: " + fileName + "<br>Please scan
your system with the latest antivirus software with
updated virus definitions and try again.");
Note that if you are using this code inside of the MVC handler, you can throw a custom VirusException and check for it in the calling method and perform any necessary cleanup. I have included the class in the AV Jar as well.
For example:
catch (Exception ex) {
logger.error(ex);
if (ex instanceof VirusException) {
// do something here
else {
// there was some other error – handle it
For more details on the Scan Engine Client API, please see Symantec Scan Engine Software Developers Guide.

d)     my2.java – This is the class file I wrote to test that I am able to send a file and scan it and see the output in the JDEVELOPER. In this case the file is stored on the filesystem of the client machine. JDEVELOPER should be able to see the file.
NOTE:
“EICAR.com” is the test file downloaded from Symantec site to test a non malicious virus file. I n order to be able to test it like this, the Antivirus program running on your machine should be disabled, or else Antivirus will kick in and delete the file. In the first place you will not be able to download the test virus file either with anti virus running on the machine you are downloading to.
package com.av;
import java.io.*;
public class my2 {
static int my_return = 0;
* @param fileBytes
* @param fileName
* @return
public static int scanfile(String fileName){
String avMode = "SCAN";
boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
String avServer = "xx";--avserver ip address
int avPort = 1344;
int the_return = 0;
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer,avPort,avMode);
the_return = avc.scanfile(fileName);
if (the_return == -1) {
return (the_return);
} else
return (the_return);
//my_return = the_return;
return (the_return);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Hi there in Main");
byte[] b1 = new byte[4];
b1[1] = 68;
my_return = scanfile("c:\\eicar.com");
System.out.println(my_return);
e)     Then finally we have my1.JAVA, which takes the filename, and it’s contents in the bytes form and scans the file. The reason for this method is we are not storing the file on the filesystem, it is read into the memory and only if it is clean, it is put into the database or else notify the user.
package com.av;
import java.io.*;
public class my1 {
static int my_return = 0;
static int a_length = 0;
* @param fileBytes
* @param fileName
* @return
public static int scanfile(String fileName,byte[] fileBytes) throws IOException {
String avMode = "SCAN";
boolean scan = avMode.startsWith("SCAN");
String avServer = "xxx";--avserver’s ip address
int avPort = 1344;
int the_return = 0;
if (scan) {
AVClient avc = new AVClient(avServer,avPort,avMode);
// File file = new File(fileName) ;
//byte[] fBytes = getBytesFromFile(file);
the_return = avc.scanfile(fileName, fileBytes);
if (the_return == -1) {
return (the_return);
} else
{return (the_return);}
my_return = the_return;
return (the_return);
// Returns the contents of the file in a byte array.
* @param file
* @return
* @throws IOException
public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
// Get the size of the file
long length = file.length();
// You cannot create an array using a long type.
// It needs to be an int type.
// Before converting to an int type, check
// to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
// File is too large
// Create the byte array to hold the data
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
// Read in the bytes
int offset = 0;
int numRead = 0;
while (offset < bytes.length
&& (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
offset += numRead;
// Ensure all the bytes have been read in
if (offset < bytes.length) {
throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
// Close the input stream and return bytes
is.close();
return bytes;
// public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//System.out.println("Hi there in Main");
// File file = new File() ;
// byte[] b1 = getBytesFromFile(file);
//System.out.println(b1);
// my_return = scanfile(,b1);
//System.out.println(my_return); }
Finally , you have the exceptions file,
e) package com.av;
public class VirusException
extends Exception {
public VirusException() {
super();
public VirusException(String text) {
super(text);
Once you have all these classes, you can use JDEVELOPER , to load these classes into the database: This is as follows:
Right click on the project, which has all these classes.
NEW -> deployment profiles -> load java and stored procedures.
When you are created deployment profile, you have to specify,
Loadjava options.
-f, -v (check the check boxes)
Under privileges:
-s – specify database schema these classes are loaded into
-s – create sysnonym check box
-g – grant to public or any specific users per your policy.
Under Resolver,
-r and –o (check the check boxes)
I accepted the default name storedproc1. Then you right click on the storedproc1.deploy, deploy to whichever database connection you created.
And then, In order to access this java class we need a pl/sql wrapper as follows:
create or replace package my1 is
function mycheck (pfilename in varchar2, psize in number)
return number;
end my1;
create or replace package body my1 is
     function mycheck (pfilename in varchar2, psize in number)
return number is
language java
     name 'com.av.my1.scanfile(java.lang.String, byte[]) return int';
     end my1;
And the code is invoked from sql plus as follows:
Select my1.mycheck(“filename”, “filebytes”) from dual;
One important catch in the above method is to send the filename and filecontents in bytes form. In order to send the file contents as filebytes, you will need another java class and load into the data base as described above.

Having main method helps you to run the file in JDEVELOPER or using JAVA.
DO not forget to load this class into the database.
And you create the pl/sql wrapper again as follows:
create or replace FUNCTION TOBY (pfilename in varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2 iS
language java name
'ReadFileIntoByteArray.chk_file(java.lang.String) return byte[]';
And you call the function from sqlplus as follows:
Sql>Set serveroutput on size 20000;
Sql> call dbms_java.set_output(20000);
Sql> Select toby(“filename”) from dual; --
this file should be accessible, I mean you will not be able to send a file on your pc, from sql plus as sql/plus is running on your db server.
You will be able to see the output in sql plus:
If you are running it from the APEX:
When we use file browser widget from APEX, the file is stored in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table. And we retrieve that into a variable and pass this variable to the function as follows:
DECLARE
scan_failed EXCEPTION;
x varchar2(400);
z number;
BEGIN
select filename into x from wwv_flow_files where name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
select my1.mycheck(x,toby(x)) into z from dual;
if z = 0 then
:P1_SUBJECT:= 'PASSED';
else
:P1_SUBJECT:= 'FAILED';
end if;
:P1_SCAN_RESULT := '** Scanning File **';
IF UPPER(:P1_SUBJECT) = 'PASSED' THEN
BEGIN
:P1_SCAN_FLAG := 'PASSED';
:P1_SCAN_RESULT := :P1_SCAN_RESULT || ' ** File passed scan **';
END;
ELSIF UPPER(:P1_SUBJECT) = 'FAILED' THEN
BEGIN
:P1_SCAN_FLAG := 'FAILED';
:P1_SCAN_RESULT := :P1_SCAN_RESULT || ' ** File failed scan **';
END;
ELSE
BEGIN
:P1_SCAN_FLAG := 'UNKNOWN';
:P1_SCAN_RESULT := :P1_SCAN_RESULT || ' ** Scan Is Not Conclussive **';
END;
END IF;
--IF :P1_SCAN_FLAG = 'FAILED'

How do I upload files to an FTP Site in Leopard

I am unable to upload files to an ftp site that was set up for me. I have read write permissions. I can pull files from the site but I cannot upload or place files on the site. The site was tested and is working for pc's

Thanks - I am not really versed in ftp so I am not sure where to start without some direction. Maybe 3rd party software is the answer. I went into the terminal without much success.
The third-party utilities are largely as easy as drag and drop.

Paid: Transmit (excellent), Interarchy

Upload file without asking user for the file

Hi,
I need to upload a file to server, but from my code, not using the file upload from page.
I have created a xml file and I need to upload to server when user open a web browser (without asking user to select a file).
How do I proceed??, or what kind of libraries do I must use?
thanks

Hi,
thanks for answer.
Let me try to explain again (I think its very simple).Simple, yes. But not very thorough.
I have developed a web application using JSF.So all the code is running on the server, right? There are no Applets, Applications or WebStart applications involved. Right?
My application has a splash screen where I show data. I have developed a bean to connect to my database (sql server), extract this data and create an xml (using DOM) file like:
<news>
<simplenews id="1"> Value </simplenews>
</news>And that bean runs ... where? Server again?
(important step) Once I have created the xml file in my bean I want to upload to the server to a place like /WEB-INF/news.
If the code is running on the server, then "uploading" is the wrong term, as there's nowhere to upload to, since you're already on the server.
This may sound like nit-picking, but you're sending us on a wrong trail with this phrase.
Once the file is on the server with another bean I read the xml fileWhy don't you simply store it in the application scope and let everyone access it from there? It doesn't sound as if the XML is huge.
As you can see I haven't a web page where to show an upload file componetYou also don't want to "upload" anything from the client, from the sound of it.
You simply want to transfer data between to server-side components, if I understood you correctly.

Problem with blocking upload file TMG 2010

I'm using TMG 2010. I have 3 rules :
1/Allow Internet Access :
protocols : dns, http, https
from: loclahost, internal to: External
2/Allow Protocols :
protocols : all traffics
from: localhost, internal to: localhost, internal
3/Defaul Rule : Block all.
The problem is : i want to block upload file from internal to external so i've made HTTP filter in Allow Internet Access like this : Config HTTP --> Signature : Search in: Request Header
Http header: Content-Type:
Signature: mutipart/form-data
Methods : Block method POST
Unfortunately, it's not work and i dont know why. If i create a rule block web, it's work. Plesase help me. Thanks !

Uploading File To MySQL from HTML form via Servlet

Hello all !
I hope this is better place to ask.
I'm working on simple Servlet/Jsp application trying to hold to MVC pattern and got stuck on uploading file to MySQL db.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
1) client submits a JPEG image via a simple html form on a webpage.
2) JPEG is put into a database table, column field of type BLOB.
3) Servlet processes the request, gets a connection to the db and inserts the image into the table.
4) after that user is able to retrieve an image from db and display it in JSP page.
This is pretty much the same task Angela was trying to do here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=667597&messageID=3905449
I could use her snippets if i knew what is what and decided to figure out this myself. Aftet some investigation i found out that i need to import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;which i found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
what am i driving at ?
-----------------------1-----------------------
After first line of code
boolean isPart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);netBeans 5.5 beta2 with bundled Tomcat 5.5.17 underlines this with warning saying that
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase
has been depreceted
is it a reason for concern ?
-----------------------2-----------------------
Is it actually good idea to store images in db as blob ?
what about large ammounts of text ?
thank you
-Dominik

is it a reason for concern ?Yes.
You should take a look at the method in the documentation and find out exact reason for depricating it.
If it is depricated becouse they going to remove it in the future you should use the new alternative method becouse if you use the old method your app will not work in the future releases of the API.
If it is depricated becouse it is not safe to use the method you should clearly understand the risks involved in using the method and see if that can give you any trouble in your project.
-----------------------2-----------------------
Is it actually good idea to store images in db as
blob ?I think that it is ths best option available when you want to store binary data
what about large ammounts of text ?You can use clob columns.
By the way when you store files in the database its better you put some extra columns to store the file name and file type(mime) becouse you cant directly detect those things later by just looking at the data of the file.

You can download the oreilly files from :- (same code is also here)
http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1011664

create a hidden field in the html page with the path to file i assume it is fixed
retrieve the name in the servlet you are already retrieving many values
and substitute it in the place where you are now passing file name
but the exact place you have to change you have to figure out yourself you are hardworking isn`t it?
i hope my answer has got some meaning
gimbal as far as i know is a good member of this forum who gives good answers so try to be polite

New! Attachments - Upload files as part of a form submission

You can now add multiple file attachment fields to your forms to collect files from respondents. Almost all file formats are supported for upload including audio and video (executable and other such file types are not allowed). All files are virus scanned by the service.
You can add field restrictions that force respondents to upload files less than a certain size, upload multiple files and/or only upload certain file formats.
All of the data and files collected are acccessible from the View reponse tab.
Files from multiple respondents can be downloaded together within a single zip file by the author. When downloading, the author has the option of prefixing a field value to the filenames so they know which respondent submitted a file.
Attachments is available to both free and paid users, however, the maximum file size of all files submitted by one respondent is 100KB for free users and 20MB for paid users. There is no limit on the amount of overall file storage for a free or paid users.
Benefits
You no longer have to manage collecting data and files using different solutions – like filling out the form using FormsCentral and sending the files via email. Files and data can now be collected using a single method and everything is stored in one central place so managing the collection process is much easier.
Ensure that respondents provide the right number, size and type of files.
Example Use Cases
Employment Application – Job applicant needs to submit their resume with their application as a single PDF or Word file.
College Admission – High school student (or parents) need to submit an essay, high school transcript and reference letters with their admission form.
Grant Application – Applicant needs to submit a proposal document and pictures (JPG or PNG) of their previous work in order to be eligible for the grant.
Client Onboarding – Financial advisor needs to collect account information and investment documents from new clients.
Request for Proposal – Procurement department needs to collect bids from competing vendors. Vendors need to fill out a form with their company’s information, provide certification documentation and a detailed proposal document.
Conference Registration – Exhibitors and speakers need to provide a JPG or PNG head shot for the conference directory that is less than 1MB in size when registering.
Change Order – Engineering firm uses a change order form to manage changes to their engineering specs. Change orders routinely include videos, images or other drawings to support the requested change.

Yes you sure can.
Right click in the cell corresponding to the attachment field in the View Responses response table and choose "Insert File" (also in the "Insert" menu). The column must correspond to an attachment type field or you will not see the "Insert File" option.
Thanks,
Josh
