Uploading file in Forms 9i

Hello,
I am attempting to code a form to allow the user to select a file on their client machine to upload to the application server. I would like to provide a browsing mechanism for the user along the lines of that available with the WIN_API package in 6i. However, in 9i this package is unavailable because those actions would occur on the application server, not on the client.
Can anyone help me with examples and/or procedures you used to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Dan

You can do this with the webutil package. You can download it from OTN.

How to associate an uploaded file with form data

I have a "ticketing" app which stores a ticket no. as well as allows users to upload multiple files per ticket. The problem I am having is how to associate an uploaded file with a particular ticket no. As you can guess this becomes complicated when the same user can potentially update multiple tickets using the same file names. I am having difficulty trying to understand how to associate a ticket no with one or more uploaded files. I do have a custom table which I update with the attachments but I am unsure how to, or when to, update the ticket information on this custom table. I only want to retrieve attachments for a given ticket, not all attachments uploaded by a user.Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
My question is bit related to this topic.
I am having a requirement to upload the CSV files so that they will store in a database table and later on wards when they search on that table it needs to pull the information and display on the form. I am a new bee to application express. Could some body tell me how to start this process with??. Just give me an overvoew/hints so that I will try to carry on my own.
Cheers,

Help with uploading files through form

Hey,
I have a website for a sign business and I'm trying to make
it so people can upload custom artwork. I am using an ASP Formmail
script from I think it's www.brainjar.com. If I understood
correctly from the directions, I can't upload files through that
script and I tried it once and it did not work. If anyone has any
ideas then please help. Thanks

For security reasons many shared hosts don't permit file
uploads.
Try this in the interim

Upload files in form

Hey I have a form that uploads a file. I am having trouble with some of the code and hoping someone can help.
FORM FIELD
<tr>
                          <td><strong>Upload Submission</strong></td>
                    <td><input
                                                  type="file"
                                                  name="submission"
                                                  id="submission"
                                                  value="#FORM.submission#" class="submissionclass"
                                                  /></td>
                </tr>
on submission of the form this code runs
PROCESSING CODE:
<cfif FORM.submission EQ " ">
                  <cfset errors = Errors & "<li>Only PDF, DOC, and DOCX file formats are accepted</li>">
        </cfif>
                    <cfif FORM.submission NEQ " ">
                  <cfif #right(#FORM.submission#, 4)# NEQ "docx" OR #right(#FORM.submission#, 3)# NEQ "doc" OR #right(#FORM.submission#, 3)# NEQ "pdf">
                            <cfset errors = Errors & "<li>Only PDF, DOC, and DOCX file formats are accepted</li>">
                  </cfif>
        </cfif>
The questions is will this work or do I have to do it another way.

Why bother with the conditional if both cases result in errors being set to the warning of "only certain file formats are accepted"?
Also, <cfif #right(#form.submission#,4)# is slowing you down. The #'s are used inside strings or CFOUTPUTs. The line S/B <cfif right(form.submission,4)
Actually, instead of using right(), use listGetAt(form.submission,len(form.submission),"."), this will split the filename into a period-delimited list, getting the last list element (the file extension) for comparison.
Just my $0.02

Questions about OAS Portal Forms to upload files

Hello,
I have quetions, about uploading files, see I need to creat a form that will be used by other people to upload information that later will be presented as downloads in the portal...
so I created a form in my provider with a file (binary) field, and it mimes to my table in the DB, to the field "Archivo", then what I do is use a omniportlet and using HTML format I present like a link using the info in the field Archivo
and when I clic on it it takes me to this link
http://desarrollo06:7778/pls/portal/38173.PDF
but the file I uploaded does not appear
can aniyone help me to solve this?
thanks in advances for the suggestions and your time ^_^

The method you used to setup upload of file seems fine. I suppose you would have used a blob type to save the file in your db table.
basically, you can develop a report offering a link calling perhaps a procedure which would query from the table and download the file.
In that procedure, you would look for the file (vblob) and the mime_type from that table using a sql-query. then use them to setup the mime type for the http protocol, and download the file as follows.
owa_util.mime_header(mime_type);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.Download_File(vblob);
hope that helps!

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout).

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.

Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

thanks,

Hi,
First upload the file into an internal table. If you are using a file that is on application server. Use open dataset and close dataset.
Then :
Loop at it.
*insert or modify as per your requirement.
Endloop.

Problems with file uploading servlet, the form action doesnt capture url

Hi, i have one problem. I am working on a project , i have created a servlet that takes uploaded files and processses them and links them back to user to download. The servlet works perfectly from my computer, I am using apache-tomcat-6.0.16 and java 1.6 , I have two forms called encrypt.html and decrypt.html, I will post both of them, now the problem is when somebody access it on the internet while i am running apache, they get a connection was reset on a firefox browser and same stuff on Internet Explorer.
i have checked my server logs and saw nothing unusual there, So please if you can help me, it is my project.
I am pasting html file and error message that other users where getting remotely.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
<title>Stego Form</title>
<link rel='STYLESHEET' type='text/css' href='encrypt.css'>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<form name='encrypt' enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST' action='http://localhost:8080/examples/temp2
' accept-charset='UTF-8'>
<input type='hidden' name='sfm_form_submitted' value='yes'>
</input>
<input type='hidden' name='eord' value='e'>
<select name='encryption' size='1'>
         <option value='Select an encryption' selected>
         Select an encryption
         </option>
         <option value='DES'>
         DES
         </option>
         <option value='Tripple DES'>
         Tripple DES
         </option>
</select>
         <input type='file' name='overt' size='20'>
         <input type='file' name='covert' size='20'>
         <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>so it works for me even if i access the page with my ip , but for others it doesnt work,

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,
Mihir Pandya

I would like to know if i want to get back the parameters from the form ,
is that i must use Enumeration.
Because i have tried request.getParameter() to get the value of radio button, textbox, checkbox and select menu, but it get the null values.
Also, the function of Enumeration does not get the values of parameter in sequence as html form. e.g.In the html file, the first parameters should be textbox,but it displays the radio button's values first.
How to solve the problem .
Thanks

This sounds like a bug in the smart upload code. I have used this stuff before, but it's probably an older version, so maybe they broke something. Enumerations aren't usually guaranteed to keep things in any particular order. I would say for now, make a method to take the enumeration and a param name to find the value. And write to the JSPSmart people.

File Upload in a Form

I have a file upload in a form of mine.
I can't style the upload to match the rest of my form. I have tried to target the id="FileAttachment" to no avail. I have tried adding classes and nothing responds.
In Dreamweaver it shows as styled until it gets on the web.
Here is the site: http://ubhape2remodel.businesscatalyst.com/careers
Any Advice?
Thanks!

Thanks for the information.
I cannot get it to work and I am unsure why. I am not sure if I am not using the JS right or not adding something to the css. I am a bit confused.
I am not all that good at javascript so I assume something here is off and I am just missing it.
One other note: Is it possible to use my style of buttons and not an image (I would like the hover effect that I use on the buttons to apply to that one as well.) But not sure how this can be done or if it is possible.
Any help would be very very much appreciated.

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.

Thanks for u r reply Mr.Prasad.
Sorry for the delay for reply.
My scenario is in 2 phases
Phase 1. I am taking input from the front end using jsp and writing the contents in to a file and then downloading that file on to my desktop.(Now let us say this one as file downloading)
Phase 2. Now I had designed a page,which locates the downloaded file by using the following tag.
<td><input type ="file" name ="xmlFileName"></td>
In the downloaded xml file I am having applicationid. I am checking whether the application id already xists in the database (or)not.
If already exists in the database , the end user will get one confirmation msg,saying application already exists in the database.
If the user clicks ok again the request has to go to the servlet.
Now the actual problems are
1. When I locate the file on the desktop let us say c:\desktop\krish and click on submit button, it is locating to the file that is present in the server(this is the case for the first time means before checking the application id in the database).
2. when the end user clicks "ok" on the confirmation box , I am not getting the file name,that has to be submitted to the servlet.
Can u plz help me how to resolve this issue.
regards,
Krish
