How to handle external POST data?

mikko_lehtinen May 14, 2008 3:10 PM

I'm trying to receive uploaded file coming from external page in my Seam app:

HttpServletRequest = request(HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();

log.info("req:" +request.getContentLength() + "," + request.getInputStream().read());

The problem is that request.getInputStream().read() always returns -1, parameters contentLength and such I can read fine from the request. Any ideas?

This is the form data:

<html>
<body>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="image_upload_form" action="http://myserver/myMethod">
<p><input type="file" name="image_file" size="20"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="action"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I got it working by using MultiPartRequest:

         MultipartRequest multipart = (MultipartRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
         filename = multipart.getParameter("Filename");
         log.info(filename);
         log.info(multipart.getFileBytes("Filedata").length);

Does anyone know how to do this with SEAM3?
