File is not a normal file exception while using HttpClient()

[nobr]Hi All,

I would like to upload few files from the end user desktop machine to a unix server. This process will be done during the execution of a portal application (PAR). I was just trying my hands at the following code, but it gives me File is not a normal file exception.

****

publicvoid doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)

{

response.write("Hi Sandip.....");

/** reading file informations */

final String serverURL ="serverURL";

PostMethod mPost=null;

try{

HttpClient httpCl =new HttpClient();

mPost =new PostMethod(serverURL);

File file1 =new File("D:\\JavaScreen.jpeg");

response.write("<BR>you selected the file::"+file1.getAbsolutePath());

mPost.getParams().setBooleanParameter(HttpMethodParams.USE_EXPECT_CONTINUE,true);

response.write("<BR>Uploading file to server....");

//Part fileParts = new FilePart(file1.getName(),file1);

FilePart[] filePart ={

new FilePart(file1.getName(),file1)//add multiple files here

};

mPost.setRequestEntity(new MultipartRequestEntity(filePart,mPost.getParams()));

httpCl.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(5000);

int statusCode = httpCl.executeMethod(mPost);

if(statusCode==HttpStatus.SC_OK){

response.write("<BR>upload done:"+mPost.getResponseBodyAsString());

}else{

response.write("<BR>upload failed:"+HttpStatus.getStatusText(statusCode));

}

mPost.releaseConnection();

}catch (HttpException e){

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

//e.printStackTrace();

response.write("Excp1:"+e.getLocalizedMessage());

mPost.releaseConnection();

}catch (IOException e){

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

//e.printStackTrace()

response.write("Excp2:"+e.getLocalizedMessage());

response.write("Excp3::"+e.getCause());

mPost.releaseConnection();

}finally{

mPost.releaseConnection();

}

****

This is written inside a portal application. While running this code, it gives an output

Hi Sandip.....

you selected the file::D:\JavaScreen.jpeg

Uploading file to server....Excp2:File is not a normal file.Excp3::null

What could be the problem? I tried with 2-3 different files.

Would appreciate a reply.

Regards
