Class FileUploadInterceptor

java.lang.Object
  com.opensymphony.webwork.interceptor.FileUploadInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Interceptor, Serializable

public class FileUploadInterceptor
extends Object
implements Interceptor

Interceptor that is based off of MultiPartRequestWrapper, which is automatically applied for any request that includes a file. It adds the following parameters, where [File Name] is the name given to the file uploaded by the HTML form:

• [File Name] : File - the actual File
• [File Name]ContentType : String - the content type of the file
• [File Name]FileName : String - the actual name of the file uploaded (not the HTML name)

You can get access to these files by merely providing setters in your action that correspond to any of the three patterns above, such as setDocument(File document), setDocumentContentType(String contentType), etc.
See the example code section.

This interceptor will add several field errors, assuming that the action implements ValidationAware. These error messages are based on several i18n values stored in webwork-messages.properties, a default i18n file processed for all i18n requests. You can override the text of these messages by providing text for the following keys:

• webwork.messages.error.uploading - a general error that occurs when the file could not be uploaded
• webwork.messages.error.file.too.large - occurs when the uploaded file is too large
• webwork.messages.error.content.type.not.allowed - occurs when the uploaded file does not match the expected content types specified

Interceptor parameters:

• maximumSize (optional) - the maximum size (in bytes) that the interceptor will allow a file reference to be set on the action. Note, this is not related to the various properties found in webwork.properties. Default to approximately 2MB.
• allowedTypes (optional) - a comma separated list of content types (ie: text/html) that the interceptor will allow a file reference to be set on the action. If none is specified allow all types to be uploaded.

Extending the interceptor:

You can extend this interceptor and override the acceptFile(java.io.File, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, com.opensymphony.xwork.ValidationAware, java.util.Locale) method to provide more control over which files are supported and which are not.

Example code:

 
 <action name="doUpload" class="com.examples.UploadAction">
     <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>
     <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
 </action>
 

And then you need to set encoding multipart/form-data in the form where the user selects the file to upload.

   <ww:form action="doUpload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
       <ww:file name="upload" label="File"/>
       <ww:submit/>
   </ww:form>
 

And then in your action code you'll have access to the File object if you provide setters according to the naming convention documented in the start.

    public com.examples.UploadAction implemements Action {
       private File file;
       private String contentType;
       private String filename;

       public void setUpload(File file) {
          this.file = file;
       }

       public void setUploadContentType(String contentType) {
          this.contentType = contentType;
       }

       public void setUploadFileName(String filename) {
          this.filename = filename;
       }

       ...
  }

Description copied from interface: Interceptor

Called to let an interceptor clean up any resources it has allocated.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Interceptor

init

public void init()

Description copied from interface: Interceptor

Specified by:

init in interface Interceptor

intercept

public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation)
                 throws Exception

Description copied from interface: Interceptor

Allows the Interceptor to do some processing on the request before and/or after the rest of the processing of the request by the ActionInvocation or to short-circuit the processing and just return a String return code.

Specified by:

intercept in interface Interceptor

Returns:

the return code, either returned from ActionInvocation.invoke(), or from the interceptor itself.

Throws:

Exception - any system-level error, as defined in Action.execute().

acceptFile

protected boolean acceptFile(File file,
                             String contentType,
                             String inputName,

                             Locale locale)

Override for added functionality. Checks if the proposed file is acceptable based on contentType and size.

Parameters:

file - - proposed upload file.

contentType - - contentType of the file.

inputName - - inputName of the file.

validation - - Non-null ValidationAware if the action implements ValidationAware, allowing for better logging.

locale -

Returns:

true if the proposed file is acceptable by contentType and size.
