Hi Experts!
I’m developing an add-on for JIRA that needs a file to be uploaded. The file contains rules in JSON format that defines the behaviour of the add-on.
I’ve defined a multipart-config servlet and a multipart/form-data form in admin page. But I can’t retrieve any part with getPart method at servlet side, it seems to arrive “empty”, like no form was defined.
These are some pieces of my code:
upload rules template (vm):
...
<form id="upload-rules" class="aui" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" id="uploading" name="uploading" value="y">
<input type="hidden" id="test" name="test" value="y">
<div class="field-group">
<label for="file">Rules config file<span class="aui-icon icon-required">(required)</span></label>
<input type="file" id="file" name="file" class="file">
</div>
<div class="field-group">
<input type="submit" value="Upload" class="button" name="upload" id="upload">
<a href="$baseURL/plugins/servlet/upm">Cancel</a>
</div>
</form>
...
RulesServlet.java
...
@Named("RulesServlet")
@MultipartConfig
public class RulesServlet extends HttpServlet
{
...
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
{
LOG.debug("doGet method called.");
//Only admin users are admitted
if (!isAdminUser(request)) {
redirectToLogin(request, response);
return;
}
AutoEscalateConfig autoEscalateConfig = null;
...stuff for getting configs...
if ("preupload".equals(request.getParameter("op"))) {
Map<String, Object> context = getContextWithCommonParams(autoEscalateConfig);
// Render the template with the issue inside the context
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
renderer.render(UPLOAD_TEMPLATE, context, response.getWriter());
}
}
@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException {
LOG.debug("doPost method called.");
//Only admin users are admitted
if (!isAdminUser(request)) {
redirectToLogin(request, response);
return;
}
try {
LOG.debug("Updating rules...");
LOG.debug("Request content type: " + request.getContentType());
LOG.debug("Request parameterMap size: " + request.getParameterMap().size());
LOG.debug("Request parts size: " + request.getParts().size());
Part filePart = request.getPart("file"); // Retrieves <input type="file" name="file">
String fileName = Paths.get(getSubmittedFileName(filePart)).getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
...stuff to get rules from file...
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
renderer.render(UPLOAD_TEMPLATE, context, response.getWriter());
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Error creating escalate rules.", e);
throw new ServletException(e);
}
}
private static String getSubmittedFileName(Part part) {
for (String cd : part.getHeader("content-disposition").split(";")) {
if (cd.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
String fileName = cd.substring(cd.indexOf('=') + 1).trim().replace("\"", "");
return fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1); // MSIE fix.
}
}
return null;
}
}

After picking up a file and press upload button, following messages from servlet debug appear in log:

ParameterMap contains only “op” parameter from link ("…/plugins/servlet/mimautoescalateplugin/rules?op=preupload").
request.getParts().size() is 0, so request.getPart(“file”) returns null and no file is uploaded. Seems like no form was defined.
Does anyone has any idea about what’s going on or where error is?
Thanks in advance!!
