Class DiskFileItem

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.wicket.util.upload.DiskFileItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, IClusterable, FileItem

public class DiskFileItem
extends java.lang.Object
implements FileItem

The default implementation of the FileItem interface.

After retrieving an instance of this class, you may either request all contents of file at once using get() or request an InputStream with getInputStream() and process the file without attempting to load it into memory, which may come handy with large files.

Field Detail

DEFAULT_CHARSET

public static final java.lang.String DEFAULT_CHARSET

Default content charset to be used when no explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender. Media subtypes of the "text" type are defined to have a default charset value of "ISO-8859-1" when received via HTTP.

Constructor Detail

DiskFileItem

public DiskFileItem(java.lang.String fieldName,
                    java.lang.String contentType,
                    boolean isFormField,
                    java.lang.String fileName,
                    int sizeThreshold,
                    java.io.File repository)

Constructs a new DiskFileItem instance.

Parameters:

fieldName - The name of the form field.

contentType - The content type passed by the browser or null if not specified.

isFormField - Whether or not this item is a plain form field, as opposed to a file upload.

fileName - The original filename in the user's filesystem, or null if not specified.

sizeThreshold - The threshold, in bytes, below which items will be retained in memory and above which they will be stored as a file.

repository - The data repository, which is the directory in which files will be created, should the item size exceed the threshold.

Method Detail

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns an InputStream that can be used to retrieve the contents of the file.

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface FileItem

Returns:

An InputStream that can be used to retrieve the contents of the file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.

getContentType

public java.lang.String getContentType()

Returns the content type passed by the agent or null if not defined.

Specified by:

getContentType in interface FileItem

Returns:

The content type passed by the agent or null if not defined.

getCharSet

public java.lang.String getCharSet()

Returns the content charset passed by the agent or null if not defined.

Returns:

The content charset passed by the agent or null if not defined.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Returns the original filename in the client's filesystem.

Specified by:

getName in interface FileItem

Returns:

The original filename in the client's filesystem.

isInMemory

public boolean isInMemory()

Provides a hint as to whether or not the file contents will be read from memory.

Specified by:

isInMemory in interface FileItem

Returns:

true if the file contents will be read from memory; false otherwise.

getSize

public long getSize()

Returns the size of the file.

Specified by:

getSize in interface FileItem

Returns:

The size of the file, in bytes.

get

public byte[] get()

Returns the contents of the file as an array of bytes. If the contents of the file were not yet cached in memory, they will be loaded from the disk storage and cached.

Specified by:

get in interface FileItem

Returns:

The contents of the file as an array of bytes.

getString

public java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String charset)
                           throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Returns the contents of the file as a String, using the specified encoding. This method uses get() to retrieve the contents of the file.

Specified by:

getString in interface FileItem

Parameters:

charset - The charset to use.

Returns:

The contents of the file, as a string.

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if the requested character encoding is not available.

getString

public java.lang.String getString()

Returns the contents of the file as a String, using the default character encoding. This method uses get() to retrieve the contents of the file.

Specified by:

getString in interface FileItem

Returns:

The contents of the file, as a string.

write

public void write(java.io.File file)
           throws java.lang.Exception

A convenience method to write an uploaded item to disk. The client code is not concerned with whether or not the item is stored in memory, or on disk in a temporary location. They just want to write the uploaded item to a file.

This implementation first attempts to rename the uploaded item to the specified destination file, if the item was originally written to disk. Otherwise, the data will be copied to the specified file.

This method is only guaranteed to work once, the first time it is invoked for a particular item. This is because, in the event that the method renames a temporary file, that file will no longer be available to copy or rename again at a later time.

Specified by:

write in interface FileItem

Parameters:

file - The File into which the uploaded item should be stored.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs.

delete

public void delete()

Deletes the underlying storage for a file item, including deleting any associated temporary disk file. Although this storage will be deleted automatically when the FileItem instance is garbage collected, this method can be used to ensure that this is done at an earlier time, thus preserving system resources.

Specified by:

delete in interface FileItem

getFieldName

public java.lang.String getFieldName()

Returns the name of the field in the multipart form corresponding to this file item.

Specified by:

getFieldName in interface FileItem

Returns:

The name of the form field.

See Also:

setFieldName(java.lang.String)

setFieldName

public void setFieldName(java.lang.String fieldName)

Sets the field name used to reference this file item.

Specified by:

setFieldName in interface FileItem

Parameters:

fieldName - The name of the form field.

See Also:

getFieldName()

isFormField

public boolean isFormField()

Determines whether or not a FileItem instance represents a simple form field.

Specified by:

isFormField in interface FileItem

Returns:

true if the instance represents a simple form field; false if it represents an uploaded file.

See Also:

setFormField(boolean)

setFormField

public void setFormField(boolean state)

Specifies whether or not a FileItem instance represents a simple form field.

Specified by:

setFormField in interface FileItem

Parameters:

state - true if the instance represents a simple form field; false if it represents an uploaded file.

See Also:

isFormField()

getOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Returns an OutputStream that can be used for storing the contents of the file.

Specified by:

getOutputStream in interface FileItem

Returns:

An OutputStream that can be used for storing the contensts of the file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.

getStoreLocation

public java.io.File getStoreLocation()

Returns the File object for the FileItem's data's temporary location on the disk. Note that for FileItems that have their data stored in memory, this method will return null. When handling large files, you can use File.renameTo(java.io.File) to move the file to new location without copying the data, if the source and destination locations reside within the same logical volume.

Returns:

The data file, or null if the data is stored in memory.

finalize

protected void finalize()

Removes the file contents from the temporary storage.

Overrides:

finalize in class java.lang.Object

getTempFile

protected java.io.File getTempFile()

Creates and returns a File representing a uniquely named temporary file in the configured repository path. The lifetime of the file is tied to the lifetime of the FileItem instance; the file will be deleted when the instance is garbage collected.

Returns:

The File to be used for temporary storage.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.toString()
