Hi,

To get a bigger picture let me explain what I would like to actually craft :

In a multipart POST request, I'd like to have form params and a file
attachement (like the example above). And I would like to handle myself the
inputstream of the file. In order do stuff like
 - checking some headers, for example Content-Length on one of the
Attachement, Content-Disposition etc
 - consuming the content of the given inputstream of this part to store it
in a temporary file

However in the MessageBodyReader, the entityStream looks like it's been
closed and already consumed. Debugging reveals that an
AttatchmentDeserializer already consumed the stream, and created an
Attachement collection, however my provider wasn't called at that time. If
the opportunity is available I would like to copy these bytes to another
outputstream.

Is it possible or should I use attachments ? I'd like as much as possible
avoid technical code in the resource, and have a reference to a
 TemporaryBinaryFile.




Here's my comment on Content-Disposition :

Yes I wrongly copied/ modified the code in the mail, however I tested both
setup separately.
Anyway, as you advised me I will inly use Multipart now.

Also I found part of the code that should check the Content-Disposition,
however I have found that the first letter 'C' disappeared and the key in
the attachment header is now 'ontent-Disposition' which can complicate
things further, and probably explains why, I needed a Content-ID header in
each part. Although the first part got his header Content-Disposition
always correctly decoded. Adding another new line after the boundary fixes
looks like a workaround though, but i'd rather not impose this on the API
users :/

I couldn't figure out yet where the code could is consuming the additional
char. I just know that at some point, the LazyAttachmentCollection has the
remaining attachment (AttachmentImpl), and the first header is wrong.


About Content-Disposition name, it is checked only if there is no
Content-ID, however it seems at some point the default Content-ID is added "
[email protected]", which defeats the purpose of the following
code.

    private static boolean matchAttachmentId(Attachment at, Multipart mid,
MediaType multipartType) {
        if (at.getContentId().equals(mid.value())) {
            return true;
        }
        ContentDisposition cd = at.getContentDisposition();
        if (cd != null && mid.value().equals(cd.getParameter("name"))) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

I have tested these behavior on CXF 2.6.3 and 2.7.0, I'm using JDK 7 also.

Nope, no change in behavior, although I only used the 8bit value, as my
shooter only uses ascii chars.
