Well, the code is protected, so I cannot give you that. But it can be
accomplished very simply in your action. We did things in a SAX way:
1. Get the file name that is stored in one of parameters of the your
Request object, originally set by the HTML form on the client. It should
point to a local file on the server into which the content of uploaded
file is now stored. With Cocoon it will point to a location under
<tomcat>/work. At least, in our case it does.
2. Define a Reader that reads from that file.
3. Define a Parser with a ContentHandler in the same way as you would do
for a SAX parser, but, of course, your Parser doesn't have to be a XML
parser. The ContentHandler could simply write everything it receives
into a local file at your choice. In this way, one can store the
uploaded non-XML file into a local XML file, but with the possibility to
use filters, as in SAX.
4. Start parsing: parse(reader).
This is just one very simple possibility. If your uploaded file is
already well-formed XML, you could use for instance Xindice to store it
immediately into a XML database without modification.
If you don't need filtering and checking the content of your file, step
2 to 4 can be done much simpler, but I found that solution for our
purposes more flexible, since we dealing with non-XML input files. We
will combine things with Xindice.
I am sure, others have better solutions.
Hopes this helps,
Andre.
