Testupload.java with FileUtils example

Jason Pell — Thu, 22 May 2003 03:44:03 -0000

A request for assistance from a user of
MultipartRequest, resulted in a cleanup of a FileUtils
class I wrote a while ago for a different project.

I have included it here, along with a modified
testupload.java servlet class demonstrating the use of
this class.

Java 2 may already have this functionality, in which
case you should use that.

But I put it here as an example only.

Enjoy or not.

Cheers

Prefix & Ignoring files

Pavol Zibrita — Sun, 17 Nov 2002 01:57:02 -0000

Hi there.

Seems like the project is death for a while, as the
prefix had been fixed in here, but no new release added.

So I upload here a file where the prefix is fixed
too, and also there was a bug, when uploading with
ignoring the files (when strSaveDir is null) a
NullPointerException occured in readAndWriteFile
method, as the outFile param was not checked for null
(the original comment there is funny, as it is not true..).

You can use these file to patch the projects,
althgout there are maybe more bugs. As our compaby
began use these lib, there maybe more fixes from our
side in a short time..

TempFile prefix

Christos Karras — Tue, 05 Nov 2002 16:40:48 -0000

TempFile.createTempFile expects to get a prefix of at
least 3 characters, however MultipartRequest generates
a prefix using the part of the uploaded file name before
the extension, which means it will fail if the file name
has only 1 or 2 characters before its extension.

This patch fixes it by padding the prefix with "x" when
necessary before calling TempFile.createTempFile

Insert this code at line 700 of MultipartRequest.java:
// Make sure prefix is long enough, otherwise a
// file name with only 1 or 2 characters before the
//extension will trigger an exception in TempFile
while (prefix.length() < 3) {
prefix += "x";
}

Request encoding

Jacek Bator — Mon, 15 Apr 2002 08:48:37 -0000

Prevoiusly I was complaining about encoding problem.
I've lost email to Admin so I post my changes here.

Basis is: files and parameters parsing is delayed till
first call to functions which reads them (names or
content). Encoding is no more static so you can have
different encodings on the same server for different
requests. According to prevoius change encoding can be
set after constructor (before call to nay function
which accesses files or parameters).

Upload request format debug servlet

Jason Pell — Mon, 03 Dec 2001 22:29:28 -0000

The ability to show what a multipartrequest actually
looks like is a useful tool for identifying problems
with multipart request.

The following attached servlet source should be
compiled and your upload html changed to call this
instead of your production MultipartRequest upload servlet.
