Exception uploading from read-only media

[ajassal]

When we upload files from a read-only media we are getting an IO exception. This could be because the applet is trying to write chunks / zip file locally directly onto the read-only media.

Any work-arounds for this? We could possibly specify the default java tmp folder for this purpose?


Here is the exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: E:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.VOB.zip (Access is

Try:
<PARAM NAME="chunkmode" VALUE="onfly">

It won't generate chunks on disk and it will be quite faster.

Does it help ?

[ajassal]

Well the documentation of that parameter says "...This parameter isn't allowed when resume support is enabled. "

We do need resume support as well as compression.

I see. A workaround could be to setup tmpfolder parameter. It should generate the files in the local tmp dir. Try: <PARAM NAME="tmpfolder" VALUE="javatmpdir">

Does it help ?

[ajassal]

So this parameter does modify the location where the .zip compressed file is created.

But there is a new issue. For some files I am getting a NPE in the console and the applet hangs.

Exception in thread "Thread-36" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -9

Not sure what the pattern is. Maybe files that are in the root folder are ok.

I also noticed that the file name coming to the server now has the temp folder name in it. For example, C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\excel_save.txt.zip. Can we avoid that?

Are you using the overall progress bar ?

[ajassal]

Well the only progress bar related parameter I see that we are using is "resetprogressbar". Which is set to true.

Is that what you meant?

[support]

No, JFileUpload can provide two progress bars. One for individual upload (each file one by one) and another for all files (it's the overall progressbar). Overall progress bar is setup in i18n.properties.

Also, you could post here you JavaScript with applet parameters declaration ?

Here is the applet tag:

Here is the fragment from i18n_bar.properties for the progress bar.

Ok, I will try to reproduce the problem. Another question: Does it occur when you try to upload a file which is not on a read-only device ?
