cfdocument NullPointerException with form field input type = file
We have an app that allows users to create a PDF of pages in the application. It uses cfdocument for this functionality. Today a user reported they couldn't PDF one of the pages. We get this error: coldfusion.document.spi.DocumentExportException: java.lang.NullPointerException. Other page PDF's are working fine in this application, so I removed various sections from the non-PDF-able page to see what specific part of the page might be causing the issue. The page contains an html form, and it turned out that if I removed one of the form controls -- a form input of type file (a file upload control) -- then the PDF is created successfully. I then made a small test page with just an html form and one input field, and get the same error. If the field is an input type file then cfdocument won't make the PDF. Any other type of form input control seems fine. We're not trying to create interactive pdf forms or anything, just a PDF image of a web page that happens to have a form with some controls. This is on CF 9.0.1 on Windows Server 2008. Has anyone seen a workaround or have any ideas? I tried setting the mime type and a few other things but nothing worked. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356365 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: cfdocument NullPointerException with form field input type = file
Not that it helps - but I can confirm it. Since you can't build interactive forms with cfdocument anyway, why not just replace type=file with type=text before you cfdocument it?

Re: JRun Servlet Error when submitting form input type = file
This error went away! I will try to get some more information about what happened and why... J I have the same problem, except that mine didn't go away. The simple upload script worked for a few weeks and then just stopped working and I got the same JRun error. It is failing on my GoDaddy shared Linux box, just like yours. It works on a similar Windows box. I noticed that in your example, the TestFile returns: /tmp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp40346.tmp. I read somewhere that it is better to use the following enctype: enctype=multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8 which is a slightly different from the normal (and what you used): enctype=multipart/form-data When I use the first one, the script doesn't get the JRun error, but my testFile returns: file.ext which is the actual file name, rather than the path to the .tmp file as in your example. I don't know the significance of this really. The JRun error is gone, but now I get a CF error on the cfftp... statement: âSecurity: The requested template has been denied access to file.ext.â This is understandable to me because CF doesn't know where to find file.ext (there is no path info). So I am still quite confused. Did you learn any more about this problem? Have you tried the optional enctype? Thanks for any help on this.

JRun Servlet Error when submitting form input type = file
I have run into an issue with a file uploader that was working since October. I am using shared hosting on Go Daddy, and the problem has to do with my sole Linux account. I have stripped out all the code that doesn't work, and I am making this as simple as possible - I have no idea what is happening... please help! Here's the code: - body cfif isdefined(FORM.btnSubmit) cfdump var=#FORM# /cfif form action=test.cfm method=post enctype=multipart/form-data input type=text name=TestText value=Test Text / input type=file name=TestFile / input type=submit name=btnSubmit value=Submit Text / /form /body When you submit this, the following appears (exactly as typed with HTML coding visible): headtitleJRun Servlet Error/title/headh1500 No such file or directory/h1body No such file or directory/body This can be seen at this link: www.ubcbike.net/test.cfm The really strange part is that the same code lives at: www.metraworks.com/test.cfm, and it works properly... the code is identical! I talked to GoDaddy support, and they said that they could not help me because it is a scripting error. I think there is something wrong on their end... I was using the function a little over a week ago with no issue... Sorry if I rambled. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: CF, Safari, and No Form Variable if Input Type='File'?
Another case of RTFM, I'm afraid...

Field validation for an input type file.

There are 2 things to keep in mind with Mac IE users: 1) mac IE will append a trailing space to *every* form field, so all form fields MUST be trimmed; 2) macs will create false binaries on uploads, so you have to check if something is really truly being uploaded; we do it (roughly) thusly: cfif Len(form.image) !--- now check for mac ie problems --- cflock name=#form.image# type=READONLY timeout=30 cffile action=ReadBinary file=#form.image# variable=aBinaryObj /cflock !--- now proceed only if this is not a mac tmp file --- cfif Len(variables.aBinaryObj) GT 2 [proceed with upload] /cfif /cfif -Original Message- From: David Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 2:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: MAC blank input type=file We have a simple web page that allows users to upload files to our web server via input type=file.

HOWEVER, all I am doing at the moment is Naming a file and trying to store the name... Later I will go get the file and Upload it. So I add enctype=text/plain to the form tag And it throws me to my login page... seems like it is blowing out all my client.variables which if the system sees takes the user straight to the LogIn page. What I'm trying to do is ... simply browse to a file name... and then use that in a subsequent cffile upload but first I am saving the filename to a database... I will be turning that around once I can save the filename properly. Any pointers... or point me to where I can find this explained in more detail than I can find. It seems that trial and error is required because I really don't understand what I am reading.

Re: File Browse buttons with input type=file
Yes, but it's such a pain that I usually write it off as not worth it.
A file input object in IE (only IE, there is an RFE for Mozilla
support) has a click method that will simulate a user click and bring up the file
browser.
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/fileupload.html
What you have to do is set the file upload objects visibility to
hidden, and then use a normal button and input tags as replacements,
which of course you can style however you want.
Then add an onclick event handler to the new browse button that fires the hidden file
upload
objects click method, this brings up the file browser.
Finally add an onchange handler to the hidden file upload field which copy's
the file field's value to your custom input field.
Something like this:
function showFile(fText) {
document.getElementById('fTextField').value = fText;
}
function browseFiles() {
document.getElementById('fileField').click();
}
input type=file id=fileField style=display:none onchange=showFile(this.value)
input type=text id=fTextField
input type=button onclick=browseFiles() value=browse
Beware, I just typed that out so it probably wont work. :)

Yes, in your style or CSS file, define the style for INPUT {} and that

Re: CF and Input Type=file
Mike, I have a layout issue here. Is there a way when you use input type=file that you can get the browse button to appear below the form element as apposed to the right hand side? Kind of an odd question, but it would save me a ton of layout work. I'm afraid you can't change the word on the button or the position of the button. The best you can do is assign a class to the tag, so that it at least looks pretty. ;o) Regards Stephen __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Getting file name form input type=file
Hi, I am working on some forms that will be used for inseting/editng data in my database. On one of the forms I need to upload a file and provide the INSERT statement with a filename for my database. I have it working using 2 fields; 1 for the file I wish to upload and 1 for the file name I wish to insert into my database. I currently have to copy and paste the file name from the file path to the file name field. I was wondering how I might be able to do this more efficiently. Is there a way the get the file name from the input type=file so I can use it in my SQL statement? I know that once the form is submitted a cfoutput#form.file#/cfoutput would yield something like C:\WINNT\TEMP\ACF12D.tmp. If it's not possible, am I going about it in the same manner as most folks?

No; it would be a bit of a security issue if you could. (Your page could select any file from a user's machine and intiate an upload.)

Re: input type='file'
I had the same problem, it's ain't possible.
What I used is to open a window indicating
only .jpeg or .gif is allowed and then used a javascript
to check what file was inserted in the formfield (before
uploading, not after): take a look:
script
extensions = new Array(".JPG",".GIF",".gif",".jpg")
function allowedExt(fileType){
var extension = fileType.substring(fileType.length-4, fileType.length)
for (var i = 0; i extensions.length; i++) {
if (extension == extensions[i]) {
return true
break
}
}alert(errorMsg()); return false
}
function errorMsg(){
alertTxt = "Please select one of the following file types: \n\r"
for (var i = 2; i extensions.length; i++){
alertTxt += extensions[i] + " "
{
}
}return alertTxt
}

I had the same problem, it's ain't possible.
What I used is to open a window indicating
only .jpeg or .gif is allowed and then used a javascript
to check what file was inserted in the formfield (before
uploading, not after): take a look:
script
extensions = new Array(".JPG",".GIF",".gif",".jpg")
function allowedExt(fileType){
var extension = fileType.substring(fileType.length-4,
fileType.length)
for (var i = 0; i extensions.length; i++) {

I've never gotten that to work for me. It always complains about object
required or access denied when I refer to a client side file upload. It
is
my understanding that JavaScript can not access the content of the input
type due to security issues.
I will have to try your method.

input type="file" name="bar"
/form
does your script refer to the input as document.foo.bar.value;

RE: input type=file
If you want to capture the name of the file in an input type="file", you
have to write a javascript event that fires on the input field... copying
the filename to a hidden field. This *can* happen before you perform the
upload.
I do not know if you will ultimately be able to do the cfmail mime-attach,
though. You might have to do the upload first.
Here's an example:
function copy2hidden(filefield) { //filefield parameter is the
file html element
if (filefield.value.length != 0) { //
filefiled must have content
//alert(filefield.value)
document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value = filefield.value;
// set hidden field with name of file
//alert(document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value)
}
}
form name="uploadfile_pickfile" action="..." method="post"
input type="file" name="file" value=""
onClick="loadfilelist(destination.value)" readonly="1"
/form

RE: Input type=File
Here's a script I got to change the file button to an image. It might give you some ideas at least. form name="form" input type="Text" name="textField" action="beautyFileUpload.htm" input type="image" src="whatever.gif" name="button" value="File Upload" onclick="document.form.fileField.click(); return false;"br span id="fileField" style="display:none;"input type="File" name="fileField" onchange="document.form.textField.value=document.form.fileField.value;"/sp an input type="Submit" /form Looking over it again it looks like it just uses a button image type and then uses javascript to invoke the file functionality when clicked. So, I'm sure you could do the same thing with a regurlar button type and give it the text you would like instead of using an image. I've tested it with an image and it works in IE anyway.

RE: Input type=File
Rick, In IE 4 and UP you can control the font properties (size, face, color, weight). I imagine that in NS 4 and up you could also control the same properties, but I have found NS to be quirky when applying styles to form elements. I do not believe that you can control the text on the button. If I had to guess this is a security restriction so that users can always tell when they are about to upload a file.
