Does anyone knows how to solve this bug?
java.io.IOException: Corrupt form data: premature ending
Im using Oreilly's cos.jar MultipartRequest

Sometimes it works meaning the file is uploaded in the directory without any exception, sometimes the file is uploaded but with exception on the log saying "MBBFileServlet Exception ---> Corrupt form data: Premature Ending". and sometimes the files is not uploaded at all and when i check the error is : "MBBFileServlet Exception ---> Corrupt form data: Premature Ending". Can anyone please help me on this matter. Thx!
Your response would be deeply appreciated.

Hi all!
Since I've spent some days now trying to figure out what was wrong with my file upload in Struts 1.1, I would like to share my solution with the rest of you in order to spare you for the same amout of wasted time I've spent :-)
My platform is Resin 3.0.8 and Struts 1.1. My problem was that JPEG's got corrupted when arriviving at the server. After a few days searching on the net, I tried with a plain servlet and the O'Reilly package, and the app worked perfect.
Here is my servlet:
package no.yourcompany.yourapp.servlet;

portraitImage = personRegistrationForm.getPortraitImage();
try {
MultipartParser parser = new MultipartParser(request, MAX_FILE_SIZE_IN_BYTES);
while ((currentPart = parser.readNextPart()) != null) {
if (currentPart.isFile()) {
currFilePart = (FilePart) currentPart;
outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
currFilePart.writeTo(outputStream);
// portraitImage is just a bean for encapsulating image data, not defined in this posting
portraitImage.setContentType(currFilePart.getContentType());
portraitImage.setImageAsByteArray(outputStream.toByteArray());
portraitImage.setOriginalFileName(currFilePart.getFileName());

Transformer.transform(xmlIn, new StreamResult(out)) throws java.io.IOExcept

Hi,
While doing xsl transformation of xml, I am getting IO Exception in windows alone.
The code looks like:
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Transformer.transform(xmlIn, new StreamResult(out));
where xmlIn is the source. source is right. It works fine in iSeries and Unix. However in Windows, it gives java.io.IOException stream closed.
Please let me know whether any changes must be done with out parameter or how can I resolve the problem. Is any modification done in jdk1.4 with regard to this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Nasrin.N

I have tried to replace code
transformer.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(output));and separate tasks and Used FileoutputStream (i was using FileWriter before)
with code
File outputFile = File.createTempFile("table_report_by_month_and_media", ".xml", SnapshotLookup.instance().getTemporaryFileDirectory());
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
StreamResult rs = new StreamResult(fout);
// Assamble and send the output to 'output'
transformer.transform(xmlSource, rs);but there is no progress in transformation time reduction. Now what to do?

New install of Vibe - where to get Java 6 ?

Do I install Java 7
if so what path do I enter for Java simply /usr (where Java is installed)
or /usr/java/j.xxxx ?

With my latest Vibe 3.4 installs I've used the Java 7 version without issues.
The rpm I last used is "jdk-7u65-linux-x64.rpm" (downloaded from the Oracle site). Just run that and it installs automatically.
And I've set the JAVA_HOME path in /etc/profile.local as follows:
Code:
vibe:/usr/install # cat /etc/profile.local
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_65

when you install the disc, do it with the machine powered off. Place the disc in the the slot, push it in while holding the power switch tp poer it up, while holding the "C" key down till the gear starts spinning. After the gear starts spinning you can release the C key and wait. This takes much longer than normal longer, then create a new account. Be ready to wait.
USE YOUR ORIGINAL INSTALL DISC!

Installing java on my new vista(this)

Hi
When i got this new computer (with vista) i installed java sdk.
I know java programming, i used to create some simple games on my old computer.
But when i try to compile something using javac in Command promt i get the error Javac is not recognized or something.
I had this on my XP too but i added a line to Autoexec.bat and it worked.
Now, i have tried to edit Autoexec, no succses.
Tried to set environment variables, no succses.
Any guesses?
Maybe its my antivirus Norton 360 that blocks me from changing in Autoexec?
Please if anyone have done this on vista respond with some few steps on how to do this.
I really want to program java on my vista without having to type the hole path to Javac when i want to compile.
Thanks in advance.
JavaGuy

But when i try to compile something using javac in Command promt i get the error Javac is not recognized or something.you need to set the PATH environment variable
I had this on my XP too but i added a line to Autoexec.bat and it worked. whoah! that brings back some memories
did MS go back to autoexec.bat?
i think we stopped using that around 8-10 years ago :)

New install from ftp and cd no sound SOLVED

Hi,
I've done everything I can find to get sound on this new ftp install but can't get sound to work with the 2.6.23 kernel.
I've updated a couple of other systems to the new kernel and it has kept sounds working fine but not this new install. I've unmuted everthing and raised levels etc.
modprobe .conf has this from running alsaconf
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.15 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
Please can you give me some tips. I've a feeling it's something silly I've not got quite checked off right in alsamixer.
/etc/rc.d/alsa start is done and alsa is in my rc.conf daemons.
Thanks
Regards
edit;
I've done another install from cd this time and said no to update to kernel 2.6.23 so now I've got 2.6.22 and sound still does not work. I've done many Arch installs before and never had this problem. what could I have overlooked? xmms with streamtuner is receiving signal but no sound. No system sounds either.

Nope no errors from VLC or Rhythmbox.
Though i noticed in the volume mixer, i now have 2 devices, which i don't think i had before...
Usually i'd have my webcam or usb headset plugged in, but they're not atm, just my soundcard.

Well not sure if you meant to, but the loaded rules are technically identical to your rules file. You forgot to change:
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
to
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
Could just be that netfilter is being smart and leaves out "extra" rules.

[Solved] Grub Error 15 at boot on new install.

So I was trying to avoid asking for help, but I honestly can't see what's wrong with my new install of arch. I followed the beginner's guide all the way up to the part where you reboot and remove the liveCD. It all went swimmingly until I rebooted and got:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB Loading, please wait...
Error 15
I don't know what's going on. Error 15 is supposedly "file not found," but I don't know what file it's looking for since I have a grub.cfg that I created from the steps posted on the guide. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT:
Just to be clear I followed the BIOS motherboard steps for GRUB.

Wat your disk en partition lay-out?
-One or more harddisks?
-Partitions? Everything on / or separate /home /boot (/var)?
I'm following the beginner's guide instructions for a BIOS install. After chroot I used the following:
# pacman -S grub-bios
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force --debug /dev/sdb
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Aside from the warnings (that I think most people ignored) of a few files not existing during the installation of grub-bios, it all went fine. The harddrive is definitely sdb (fdisk -l shows sda as my windows drive, not to mention I just formatted and partitioned sdb). My partitions are laid out exactly as the guide tells me to (/ on /dev/sdb1 and /home on /dev/sdb2). They are the only partitions on sdb.

I don't appreciate your condescension. These forums have (up to this point) always been really helpful and friendly to me; just because I'm posting in the newbie corner doesn't mean I'm not familiar with linux, and even if I were unfamiliar with linux I would hope that you could show more respect and compassion for someone who needs help than to ostracize them and laugh about their problem. I posted here because I figured I didn't need to waste the time of the mods and users who offer help in the installation subforum with something that I assumed would be a trivial fix. I expected courteous, thoughtful responses. I was apparently wrong to assume.
I reinstalled because I didn't know what else to do, and figured that there might have been a chance that I made a mistake. Since your previous advice was literally getting me nowhere I figured the 10 minutes of my time reinstalling took up would be worth the potential of fixing my problem.
To answer your questions that are actually helpful:
I don't have grub installed on another drive and my drive and partition layout is detailed above. As for boot priority, it hasn't changed since I first installed linux in 2006 and it's worked ever since; I'm performing this operation to clear what was once a drive cluttered with a few other distros that I've abandoned since 2007 when I found Arch (yes I am actually that lazy).
Is it possible that my old installation of grub might have stayed on the drive even after I rid it of the old partitions (since it's stored in MBR)? If so does the installation of grub2 I'm performing not get rid of it?
Hope this helps,

New Install -- X Won't Work [SOLVED]

I have to migrate to a new hard drive, and am doing a new install of Arch. I installed from net to have up-to-date packages...
I installed X and what I think are the necessary packages, namely:
ati-dri, libgl, mesa, xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-synaptics, xf86-video-ati, xorg, hal, and dbus
I start hal with /etc/rc.d/hal start and do a startx but it replies:
error setting MTRR (base = 0xc0000000, size = 0x04000000, type = 1) Inappopriate ioctl for device (25)
I am really stressing out because I need this new hard drive up and running like the old one, so I may be missing something major. Please, please help me get the bottom of this! Configuring xorg in my previous two installs for this computer have been a breeze but this time is killing me.
EDIT:
Okay so the culprit was really stupid and quite annoying! Apparently a default .xinitrc was placed in my home directory. Removing it allowed me to test xorg by having twm load. For some reason I wasn't expecting a default file to placed by Arch of all distros. GRR... got a bit frantic for no reason. I will probably add a note to the wiki so no one else hits this snag.
Last edited by egan (2010-01-07 03:58:32)

Perhaps I do not understand what you are doing but I would expect that if you want to use X in a graphical mode you need xorg.conf be it that you use hal to create it for you or you create it by other means.
I know that if I use KDE I can run it without an X configuration file these days but I'm not sure if that is the same for plain old X.
R.
Edit: This is what I was able to find:
Starting with version 7.4, Xorg can use HAL to autodetect keyboards and mice. The sysutils/hal and devel/dbus ports are installed as dependencies of x11/xorg, but must be enabled by the following entries in the /etc/rc.conf file:
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
Edit 2: Also notice this:
The automatic configuration may fail to work with some hardware, or may not set things up quite as desired. In these cases, manual configuration will be necessary.
