Fellow Magnolia Users, Has anyone had any success using the Jakarta Commons FileUpload library with Magnolia. I am using Magnolia 2.1 with the standard version of Tomcat that came with it. I can get a file to successfully upload when I put my uploadForm.jsp and upload.jsp in the ROOT webapps folder, but when I put it anywhere inside the magnolia author area the files in the multipart request are not found when it has been parsed. It almost seem like it is getting a different type of request alltogether when displaying magnolia pages than it is when the JSP is running as a basic tomcat one.
What I am trying to do is add a file upload tab to admincentral in order to give my authors a place to upload pdfs, docs, ppts, etc to a centralized place. Basically, so that they can change their files in one place and have those changes reflected in all the pages that link to these documents. I have modified the adminCentral menu to incorporate the button and it basically just sticks a JSP of my choosing in that right iframe. Here is uploadForm.jsp: <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp = "http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> ]]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>File Upload</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h1>File Upload</h1> <h2>Upload files to a centralized location</h2> <hr/> <form method="post" action="upload.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Name: <input type="text" name="uname"/> File: <input type="file" name="upfile"/> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> </jsp:root> Here is upload.jsp: <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp = "http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";> <jsp:directive.page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.*"/> <jsp:directive.page import="java.io.File" /> <jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*" /> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> ]]> <html> <head><title>Upload Result</title></head> <body> <jsp:scriptlet> <![CDATA[ try { out.println("<p>request = " + request.getClass().toString() + "</p>"); FileUpload fup=new FileUpload(); boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request); out.println("<p>request has multipart = " + isMultipart + "</p>"); // Create a new file upload handler DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload(); // Parse the request List items = upload.parseRequest(request); Iterator iter = items.iterator(); if (!iter.hasNext()) { out.println("<p>no request info found!</p>"); } while (iter.hasNext()) { FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next(); if (item.isFormField()) { out.println("<p>found a field: " + item.getString() + "</p>"); } else { out.print("<p>found a file: " + item.getName()); File cfile = new File(item.getName()); File tosave = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/") + "fileupload/dumpage/",cfile.getName()); item.write(tosave); } } out.println("<p><strong>done.</strong></p>"); } catch (Exception e){ System.out.println(e); } ]]> </jsp:scriptlet> </body> </html> </jsp:root> Here is the output when I view the JSP in %tomcat_dir%/webapps/ROOT/fileupload/ request = class org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteRequestFacade request has multipart = true found a field: meh found a file: ATM_POS_Map.jpg done. As you can see it parses the request fine and finds the file. It gets it and everything is absolutely lovey dovey. Here is the output when I view the JSP in %tomcat_dir%/webapps/author/admintemplates/fileupload/ (note: I have a virtualuri mapper pointing from /.magnolia/fileupload/uploadForm.html to /admintemplates/fileupload/uploadForm.jsp and from /.magnolia/fileupload/uploadForm.html to /admintemplates/fileupload/upload.jsp) request = class org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest pageContext.request = class org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest request has multipart = true no request info found! done. No such luck here. Can anyone enlighten me as to why the class types for the two HttpRequests are different and if there is any way to get hold of the original request? I profusely apologize for the longwinded email. Thanks in advance to any help you guys can offer. If you don't have a copy of the Jarkarta Commons FileUpload library and would like to take a crack at this, it can be obtained here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/ Regards, Adam Cooper Talisen Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
