[CASE-OPENED] File Upload Via Maintain

This really is outside of Maintain's abilities. Remember, Maintain's purpose is to update databases.

You can accomplish this with a JSP procedure that can be kicked off from Maintain. Do a google search for a procedure (JSP) to do this. You should then be able to use JavaScript from inside the Maintain procedure to make it work.

Hi,
I tried your solution but I am stuck.
Here is what I did in details.
1- Created an HTML object on the form of the maintain file. The following is its content:

<form action="http://192.168.200.210:8080/approot/moataz_mro/fileupload.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" size="50" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

2- Created fileupload.jsp and it is as follows:

<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*, javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.*" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.*" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory.*" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.*" %>
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.io.output.*" %>

<%
   File file ;
   int maxFileSize = 5000 * 1024;
   int maxMemSize = 5000 * 1024;
   String filePath = "/pas/WF/apps/moataz_mro/";

   String contentType = request.getContentType();
   if ((contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {

      DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
      factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize);
      factory.setRepository(new File("/tmp"));
      ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
      upload.setSizeMax( maxFileSize );
      try{
         List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
         Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
         out.println("<html>");
         out.println("<body>");
         while ( i.hasNext () )
         {
            FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
            if ( !fi.isFormField () )  {
                String fieldName = fi.getFieldName();
                String fileName = fi.getName();
                boolean isInMemory = fi.isInMemory();
                long sizeInBytes = fi.getSize();
                file = new File( filePath + "yourFileName") ;
                fi.write( file ) ;
                out.println("Uploaded Filename: " + filePath + fileName + "<br>");
            }
         }
         out.println("</body>");
         out.println("</html>");
      }catch(Exception ex) {
         System.out.println(ex);
      }
   }else{
      out.println("<html>");
      out.println("<body>");
      out.println("<p>No file uploaded</p>");
      out.println("</body>");
      out.println("</html>");
   }
%>

3- Added the jar file commons-fileupload.jar and its dependency commons-io.jar under /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.3/webapps/ibi_apps/WEB-INF/lib
4- Tried it out as follows:
I ran the maintain file. Browsed a text file. Clicked upload file and then nothing happened.
How can I trace if an error occurred?
Also, did I add the jar files correctly? Because I think the problem is that the jars are not found by the jsp file.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

How can a user upload a pdf file, from his/her Windows PC to a Unix WebFOCUS Reporting Server, using a maintain program?

The user needs to browse for the pdf file on his/her Windows PC local drive and then select it. After that, he/she clicks on a button that uploads it to the Unix WebFOCUS Reporting Server.

Thank you for your time!
