Help: File upload failed with "No such type 'binary'" warning

[Yared]

Hi,

when I call getUploadedFile("uploadfile") in my DMI, it returns null and in the log (see blow), there is a warning with "No such type 'binary'".

Log

I use the power version: SC_SNAPSHOT-2011-03-28/PowerEdition Deployment 2011-03-28

My Datasource looks as follows:

<DataSource 
	ID="FILE_UPLOAD" 
	serverType="generic">
	
	<fields>
		<field name="uploadfile" title="File" type="binary" required="false" showFileInline="true"></field>
		<field name="message" type="enum" required="false" hidden="true"></field>
	</fields>

	<serverObject lookupStyle="new" className="cpce.server.tmobviplist.FileUploadDMI" />
	
</DataSource>

My DMI looks as follows:

public class FileUploadDMI {
...
public DSResponse add(DSRequest record, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws Exception { 

		ISCFileItem file = record.getUploadedFile("uploadfile");
		if(file == null){
			
			appendErrorMessage("You must speciffy a valid file!");
			
		}
...

And my Client Code looks as follows:

uploadForm = new DynamicForm();
uploadForm.setTop(5);
uploadForm.setAutoHeight();
uploadForm.setNumCols(3);
uploadForm.setDataSource(DataSource.get("FILE_UPLOAD"));
...
UploadItem fileItem = new UploadItem("uploadfile");
fileItem.setWidth(500);
uploadForm.setFields(fileItem );

You can ignore the (spurious) warning, it's not the cause of the problem.

Most likely, you have a FilterServlet that is interfering with request parsing before the SmartGWT server classes receive the servletRequest.

First verify using Firebug that a file is actually uploaded from the browser. If you see an intact upload, remove any FilterServlets you've installed.

Thank you for the reply.

I've now solved the problem. I used the field item "UploadItem" instead of "FileItem" for the upload DynamicForm. The last 3 client code lines look now as follows:

FileItem fileItem = new FileItem("uploadfile");
fileItem.setWidth(500);
uploadForm.setFields(fileItem);
