First you want to edit the definition of Product in entitymodel.xml to
include string column that points to the path of the uploaded file
and then restart
Then you want to create a service definition in a service.xml file
like the following example
<service name="myServiceName" invoke="myJavaService" engine="java"
location="org.ofbiz.product.feature.ProductFeatureServices">
<attribute name="filedata" type="java.nio.HeapByteBuffer" mode="IN"
optional="false"/>
</service>
Then have a .ftl file with a form like this - notice the encoding.
<form name="serviceName" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"
action="<@ofbizUrl>serviceNameControllerRequest</@ofbizUrl>">
<input type="file" name="filedata" size="50"
onchange="document.getElementById('hidden_filename').value =
this.value;"/>
</form
Now you program myJavaService in java, and you grab filedata from
context, and then you use basic file writing functions to write your
file.
You also need to have a controller.xml file that can handle
serviceNameControllerRequest and invoke myServiceName
public static Map<String, Object> myJavaService(DispatchContext ctx,
Map<String, ? extends Object> context)
{
java.nio.HeapByteBuffer buffer = context.get("filedata") ;
//now write buffer to filesystem
}
there might be other ways to do it.
