Here is my summary after series of trials
1. I can't use the Blobstore api because I'm using GWT for the view
2. From my understanding of the Fileservice API, it requires that I need to
have gotten the bytes
of the data before it can be written to the FileWriteChannel. One option is
through the Blobstore
API, but like I said, I'm unable to use Blobstore with GWT. Though it is
possible via RPC, but its
implementation will allow a refresh to another url such as /serve?blob-key.
This will break my
design design pattern as all I want is that after the upload, the user
remains on the same GWT Place.
I don't know how to do this. I need help.
3. I tried to the following code, but i wasn't able to persist the bytes in
the buffer:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
log.info(request.toString());
try {
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload();
response.setContentType("multipart/form-data");
FileItemIterator iterator = upload.getItemIterator(request);
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
FileItemStream item = iterator.next();
InputStream stream = item.openStream();
log.info("logging stream " + stream.toString());
if (item.isFormField()) {
log.warning("Got a form field: " + item.getFieldName());
} else {
log.warning("Got an uploaded file: " + item.getFieldName() +
", name = " + item.getName());
int len;
byte[] buffer = new byte[100000];
len = stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
ListingFile listingfile = new ListingFile();
listingfile.setTitle(item.getName());
listingfile.setImageType(item.getContentType());
listingfile.setImage(buffer); // setImage holds byte[] in the
Entity. Couldn't be persisted
PersistenceManager pm = PMF.get().getPersistenceManager();
try {
pm.makePersistent(listingfile);
}
finally {
pm.close();
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}
