I've been trying for days to do this and got absolutely nowhere. I know it can be done, but I've been trawling SO for answers and got nothing working.
- Upload a picture using my REST client
- Insert that uploaded picture into the MySQL database.
What I have tried: Following Load_File doesn't work, I'm using OS X so I don't know how to change ownership of folders etc... how do I do this? I never got an answer in my last post about this. How do I do this?
I've also tried doing it another way: http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/enterprise-java/rest/jersey/jersey-file-upload-example/
This does not work at all. I keep getting the error described in this post: Jersey REST WS Error: "Missing dependency for method... at parameter at index X", but the answer doesn't help me as I still don't know what it should be...
Can anyone please guide me through it?
I'm using a Jersey REST client in Java. Many of the tutorials to do this mention a pom.xml file, I don't have one or know what it is.
Thank you, Omar
EDIT: This is the file upload:
package com.omar.rest.apimethods;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import com.sun.jersey.core.header.FormDataContentDisposition;
import com.sun.jersey.multipart.FormDataParam;
@Path("/files")
public class FileUpload {
private String uploadLocationFolder = "/Users/Omar/Pictures/";
@POST
@Path("/upload")
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(
@FormDataParam("file") InputStream fileInputStream,
@FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition contentDispositionHeader) {
String filePath = "/Users/Omar/Pictures/" + contentDispositionHeader.getFileName();
// save the file to the server
saveFile(fileInputStream, filePath);
String output = "File saved to server location : " + filePath;
return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
}
// save uploaded file to a defined location on the server
private void saveFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream,
String serverLocation) {
try {
OutputStream outpuStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(serverLocation));
int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
outpuStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(serverLocation));
while ((read = uploadedInputStream.read(bytes)) != -1) {
outpuStream.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
outpuStream.flush();
outpuStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Schema for the table (one I created for testing): image_id: int auto-incrementing PK, picture: BLOB. I could make it a file link and just load the image on my website but I can't even get that far yet.
