http post request - parsing problem inside Element with commonsFileUpload library

[michaelCH]

Hi Garet!

I have one issue with Rife regarding POST http request.
I was trying to resolve it by myself but now I haven't succeeded.

The problem I have is related to file uploading.
I use commonsFileUpload lib to retrive the conent in the POST request
and write it to a file.
(http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/)

When I pass the post request inside process() method in a Rife's
Element to the commonsFileUpload method it looks like the content in
the request is 'lost''. I mean the request is parssed but it's
handled as post with the content items inside. Of course I set:
setProhibitRawAccess(false).

It doesn't happen when I do it in a native servlet passing post
request in the same way.

Here is how I call the methods inside Rife Element:

processElement() {

setProhibitRawAccess(false);
request = getHttpServletRequest();

// Create a new file upload handler - commonsFileUpload method
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload();

// Parse the request - here it return EMPTY FileItemIterator
unfortunately :(
FileItemIterator iter = upload.getItemIterator(request);
}

It would be very helpfull to get your opinion, cause we are developing
some commercial
service and we got stuck with that problem.

Why do you use commonsFileUpload? RIFE support multipart requests out
of the box.

Basically commonsFileUpload provides stream api to retrive items from
the request directly
to a destination file - not to an object or a temp file. It allows to
safe a lot of resources

Is it possible to do it with Rife too?
