FileUploadException: IO Error Parsing Multipart Request

[ronsi]

I have upgraded to Seam 2.2.2.Final and using RichFaces 3.3.3 (runs on EAP 6.1.0). All of a sudden my FileUpload has stopped working. Below are the settings I have I get below WARNINGS. Any idea what it could be?

components.xml

<web:multipart-filter create-temp-files="true" max-request-size="1000000" url-pattern="*.seam"/>

web.xml

<filter>

        <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name>

So, on further debugging I found that the file gets downloaded into "tmp" directory but then I get the above mentioned error.

[bleathem]

Do you have the web.xml settings set as described at the bottom of the showcase sample?

http://showcase.richfaces.org/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=fileUpload&skin=blueSky

Do you have the server permissions set correctly for where the file is being uploaded to?

[ronsi]

Brian Yes those settings are available in the Custom Seam Filter I have in place. And BTW the file does get download in the tmp directory. But then a runtime exception is thrown in the middle when "readProlog()" method is run in MultipartRequest.java.

<filter>

        <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>

        <filter-class>org.company.util.RollSeamFilter</filter-class>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>createTempFiles</param-name>

            <param-value>true</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>maxRequestSize</param-name>

            <param-value>20000000</param-value>

        </init-param>

    </filter>

And server permission seem to be OK as well. The current permission on tmp directory is "drwxrwxrwt".

And if you downgrade Seam 2 does it work?  (IOW, is this error introduced by the newer Seam version?)

[ronsi]

I cannot downgrade as it will require a lot of changes. Everything else seems to work. In addition to Seam upgrade I have also done a JBOSS upgrade to EAP 6.1.0.Final.

[ronsi]

So, the problem occurs during the initialization stage while trying to read data from the input stream. To be specific the IOException is thrown inside MultipartRequest.java line 341 (throw new IOException("Request data cannot be read")). On further debug I found that no data could be read from InputStream which means it's already been read somewhere probably through HttpServletRequest.getParameter(..) method. This bug is already registered and available here: [RF-13061] r:fileUpload stops working: "Request prolog cannot be read" - JBoss Issue Tracker

My environment:

Seam 2.2.2.Final

JSF: 1.2

EAP 6.1.0.Final
