Hi Appa,

I have also installed SNIA CDMI RI although i have hte version 1.0.2. I am able to PUT text file son my CDMI server but i want to put images, etc. in my CDMI server. If you could get this functionality working for you can you please help me by letting me know how exactly to upload an image in CDMI server. I tried out putting image paths for the "value" filed and changed the mimetype as "image/JPEG" but it is throwing the following error:

ETag: "Object PUT Error : org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unrecognized character escape 'U'

Also if anyone has tried to PUT objects (text files, images, etc.) using curl command then please do let me know the syntax for the same.

Thanks & Regards,

Nikhil

Hi appa,
You can upload the image files by encoding them to base64.
Try the following code in the client program. Also you have got
to decode it in the server before the value is written to the file.
            byte arr[] = Files.toByteArray(new File(
                    "/home/cloudibm2/Desktop/s1_ObjectCreate.png"));
            byte encoded1[] = Base64.encodeBase64(arr);
            String b64 = new String(encoded1);
            String value = org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONObject.quote(b64);
            ...
            ...
            String respStr = "{\n";
            respStr = respStr + "\"mimetype\" : \"" + "text/plain" + "\",\n";
            respStr = respStr + "\"value\" : " + value + "\n";
            respStr = respStr + "}\n";
