Re: Uploaded file disappears on Tomcat restart

[Gertjan Assies]

Paul,
I believe the location in the setting will be cleaned and only that 
location, if you move it with the code below, Cocoon/Tomcat _should_ be 
unaware of the new location.
Perhaps it has to do with your deploy method, I believe when deploying 
using the manager webapp in Tomcat, it recreates the webapp every time 
you restart Tomcat somewhere under the work directory, but i'm not sure 
about the precise mechanism

cheers,
Gertjan

Actually Gertjan,
I can move it directly to any directory I choose by
changing the upload setting in the Cocoon conf. file.
If I use the approach below and keep it in a directory
that is still under the Tomcat heirarchy, I presume it
will still be deleted - no?
thx
Paul

Thank you very much Gertjan.  Your solution is much
simpler than what I was planning to do, and so I
will
use it instead of mine!

Hi,
I use the following simple code to move uploaded
files
It's called from the action which handles the
submitted form
the _sName here is extracted from the submitted
field value which 
contains the local path and the filename

private boolean moveFile(String _sName) {
      boolean bResult = false;
      File aInFile = new File(TEMP_PATH +
     

_sName);
   

       if (aInFile.exists()) {
           File aOutFile = new File(DEST_PATH +
_sName);
           bResult = aInFile.renameTo(aOutFile);
       }
       return bResult;
}

Thank you Grzegorz.
I would like to save it under the Tomcat
hierarchy....so that Tomcat can serve the
         

uploaded
     

file to other users in the company.
That being the case, the other option that you
         

suggest
     

is to disable autoupload.
If I do this, will the upload widget continue
         

to
   

work?
     

(that is all I care about in terms of
         

uploading)
   

First I think there is no such thing as
       

autoupload. However if the 
     

upload is being enabled in web.xml file then if
       

multipart request 
     

comes the request is automatically properly
       

decoded and made available 
     

to the user. Query cocoon wiki for the  way to
       

obtain the access to 
     

FilePart. You should copy the data into some
       

storage (filesystem, 
     

database). I do not really remember the details
       

of
   

this mechanism. If 
     

it persists temporary data to disk it will be
       

deleted after the 
     

request has been processed.
