I try "createNode" and "upload.properties.content.content = content" without success.

      var props = new Array();
      props["my:typeExam"] = typeExam;
      props["my:dateExam"] = dateExam;
      props["my:correspondant"] = correspondant;

      upload = model.folder.createNode(filename,"my:compterendu",props);
      upload.properties.content.encoding = "UTF-8";
      upload.properties.content.content = content;
      upload.properties.title = title;
      upload.save(); 
      upload.addAspect("cm:titled"); ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is the method which read the file content and give it to the post method.

private String readFileAsString(String filePath)
   throws java.io.IOException{

      StringBuffer fileData = new StringBuffer(1000);
      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
            new FileReader(filePath));
      while (reader.ready()) {
         String s = reader.readLine();
         fileData.append(s);
      }

      reader.close();
      return fileData.toString();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now, in the response provided by the server, I've got the alfresco "loginform", there is a problem of authentication, however, I pass the ticket in the outputstream …

Re: Upload error

risenhoover — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:20:34 GMT

Here's an interesting post on the AlfrescoForge FlexSpaces+AIR forum. It's the same "cannot upload" issue…

http://forge.alfresco.com/forum/message.php?msg_id=1486

Hi all,

The issue had to do with the "args" object being used to retrieve the destination folder path and mimetype. An example post is found below. In the uploadNew.post.js script, model.folder would end up null because this code would not execute:

else if ((args.path) && (args.path != ""))
{
// get folder to upload into with doc mgt path
model.folder = roothome.childByNamePath(args.path);
}

The solution was to get all parameters from the formdata and not use args:

——–
else if (field.name == "path")
{
path = field.value;
}
else if (field.name == "mimetype")
{
mimetype = field.value;
}
}
model.folder = roothome.childByNamePath(path);
———-

I am guessing that this is due to API changes, as the FlexSpaces 0.5 build was giving the same error out-of-box.

Thanks,
John

I solved the problem of authentication, I had to pass the ticket directly in the url and not in the ouputstream. Now I've got a new error to the end of the webscript in the instruction: upload.save():
Caught exception & redirecting to status template:jdbc exception on Hibernate data access; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Could not execute JDBC batch update

I can upload text and binary files to alfresco with a simple html form, I can upload text files with the method of the first post on this topic. But impossible to upload a binary file with the 2nd method because the content is null, obviously it can not find the field.content … I don't know what to do!

Re: Upload error

lakshya — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 12:12:49 GMT

Did u get the solution to upload binary files in Alfresco through REStful API.

I am using webscript upload.post.desc.xml

<webscript>
  <shortname>File Upload</shortname>
  <description>Upload file content and meta-data into Repository</description>
  <url>/api/upload</url>
  <format default="json"/>
  <authentication>user</authentication>
  <transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and

upload.post.js

    // get folder to upload into with nodeid

Hi

I uploaded binary data but somehow the content is corrupted, even the size is different (almost double of original size), however text content is ok. Here is my code:


…
 for each (field in formdata.fields)

  {

      if (field.isFile){         
         node.properties.content.encoding="UTF-8";
         node.properties.content.guessMimetype(field.value);

         node.content=field.content.getContent();         
     }

  }
…
node.save();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I guess I have some problems with the encoding or decoding of the binary file. The write() method never works for me.

Thanks

Hi,

for each (field in formdata.fields)

      {

          if (field.isFile){
             node.properties.content.encoding="UTF-8";
             node.properties.content.guessMimetype(field.value);
             node.properties.content.write(field.content.getInputStream());
         }

      }

I tried uploading a file through jscript using the guessMimetype(field.value) but the result am getting is undefined

My upload.js is as



var fileMimeType = docNode.properties.content.guessMimetype(filename);
 logger.log(" fileMimeType  is ::: "+fileMimeType);
‍‍‍‍‍

The output on enabling the log is :


fileMimeType  is :::  undefined
‍‍‍

Can u tell me where i am going wrong because only the mimetype is undefined though the filename comes perfect.
Please help !!!!

krithika123 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:27:13 GMT

The above requirement is a bit urgent.An add on to this is the same works in java api but not in js.It would be very kind if someone could revert back asap.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

We haven't seen this error - on any files binary or otherwise. Do you always get it, is it a specific file?
