So here is my situation. I have a HTML form that gets its fields added via DHTML.
There is no submit button on this form but rather I call _javascript that does the
from submit.
My form is doing a "POST" to a servlet which has the following code to parse the
multipart/form-data.
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
...
List item = upload.parseRequest(request);
I end up getting an exception of "Stream ended unexpectedly" tossed from
MultipartStream.java. By the looks of things in MultipartStream.java.
<stack>
9/2/04 12:39:33:919 EDT] 57b4a1e1 SystemErr R
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: Processing of multipart/form-data
request failed. Stream ended unexpectedly
</stack>
<code from MultipartStream.java>
bytesRead = input.read(buffer, pad, bufSize - pad);
</code from MultipartStream.java>
ends up returning -1.
So I'm really confused, here is what I've tried. Walking through the code the form
fields are parsed just fine when the _javascript submits the form data. However
adding a file we get this issue of "Stream ended unexpectedly", as expected by adding
an attachment. I've added an "input" field submit button, then pressing the button to
do the POST everything works. However I can't use this behaviour, the submit must be
executed via _javascript, without user interaction.
So this behavior works fine in IE 6.0+ but Netscape, FireFox, Mozilla all fail. They
all end up having the exception tossed.
I wonder if anyone else has come across this issue of having the data submit via
_javascript.
This behavior exists with the following application servers:
* Websphere 5.1
* JBoss 3.2.3
