Mostly wild guesses...

Hi everyone,

I really hate asking this because it seems like it has been asked frequently on the lists. I have been using Jonathan Rochkind's solution for the past year or two, but I am no longer streaming to a path on the file system, and it doesn't serve for uploading into the database.

This was the closest I found to a solution posted by David Teran:

"1) give each Fileupload an additional 'name' binding, for example 'mySpecialFileUpload' 2) use either outputstream or inputstream binding for each fileupload, use a subclass which keeps track how much was transferred already
3) get total of one upload with

com.webobjects.appserver._private.WOInputStreamData isd = (com.webobjects.appserver._private.WOInputStreamData)context ().request().formValueForKey("mySpecialFileUpload");

int length = isd.streamLength();

thats all, now with a little bit of javascript you can create a autorefreshing page which gets the current status from a nice directaction which 'knows' the input streams. This autorefreshing page is opened when the user clicked 'submit' to upload the files and is closed automatically when fileuploads are finished or cancelled."

I am using the outputStream binding for the WOFileUpload as he suggested, and I have assigned a name binding to the WOFileUpload.

1) He said to use a sub-class to keep track of the transfer (sub- class of what??).

Of the input or output stream that you bind to the WOFileUpload, I think. I don't really see why this would be needed if (3) above works.


2) Where do I call his code in order to get the total length of the WOInputStreamData?

In the page that the upload is submitted to. isd then gets passed to the status page.


3) I am using the size() method on the ByteArrayOutputStream to track the status for the WOLongResponsePage. Is this correct?

I am not sure.  It seems like it might be OK.
