    Tomahawk File Upload

    angelo.dangelo

      Hi all, I have to create a jsf portlet for file uploading, but I am not able to use inputFileUpload (Apache Tomahawk). It seems that it does not work inside a portlet. Do you know if there is a workaround for this issue, or if there are other JSF extensions that provide this kind of feature? Thanks.

          Angelo-

          You are right. The JSF approach does not work in the portal environment. Try the org.apache.commons.fileupload.portlet.PortletFileUpload approach in your portlet. Here is some sample code to get you started

          import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem;
          import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;
          import org.apache.commons.fileupload.portlet.PortletFileUpload;
          
          
          /**
           *
           *
           */
           private void processAttachments(ActionRequest req) throws Exception
           {
           DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
           PortletFileUpload upload = new PortletFileUpload(factory);
          
           //Merge with upload fields
           for (Iterator i = upload.parseRequest(req).iterator(); i.hasNext();)
           {
           FileItem item = (FileItem)i.next();
           if (item.isFormField())
           {
           //if it's form field just add it to request params map
           //TODO:Be aware that this adds single value as we won't have multiply values in new topic form for now...
           req.getParameterMap().put(item.getFieldName(), new String[]{item.getString()});
           }
           else
           {
           //process the FileItem here....this is your attachment
           //data
           }
           }
           }
          


          Thanks
