Re: JSF Tomahawk File upload file name and location

[Meghana]

My webapplication runs in JBoss environment and it uses file upload functionality with out any problem. One thing I am doing differently is writing to a new file after reading it from the uploaded file that way I can control the file name of the file and directory.

Hope that helps,

I am running the example
\src\org\apache\myfaces\examples\misc\FileUploadForm.java
with the following settings on WindowsXP (moving to JBoss Linux) and Java
1.5 and Tomcat-5.5.17
and want to move to JBoss and observed the following when using the Tomahawk
ext to upload files:
Tomahawk seems to have its own ideas about what to name the files when
uploaded.
I need access to the files to manipulate them after upload and need to know
what they are named
and where they are under Tomcat or JBoss Tomcat.

If I upload a file like abc.jpg it reports back fine in the return page as
the correct image and the right name,
but I need to fix two things and I can't seem to trap for them in the
debugger to help figure out where to make
the changes.

1. The file name is always changed to upload_A NUMBER.tmp like this
upload_00000007.tmp rather than the
real name of the file.

2. What ever directory name that I set in the web.xml for
uploadRepositoryPath ends up on the root
of my C drive rather than the root of the application?
I understand from reading that there may be some involvement with the
java.io.tmpdir but I am not sure.

It would be VERY helpful if some one can tell me how to make it write to a
relative directory in the application
context off the application root in JBoss / Tomcat, and how do I best make
it write the file name that I want the first time or at least re-copy it to
the correct directory with the right name.
I have tried to set the debugger to catch when the change is happening but I
have not been successful.

Set the size limit for uploaded files.

Set the threshold size - files
below this limit are stored in memory, files above
this limit are stored on disk.

Set the path where the intermediary files will be
stored.

Thank you very much in advance.
