Read input from ../API/formFileUpload
Hello,
I am using upload Widget to upload a CSV File.
The URL is the default : "../API/formFileUpload"
I am using a JS script to getting the uploaded document value (inside my Form) .
When the file is uploaded. I can access to theses information :
filename: "my_test.csv"
tempPath: "tmp_14768815780437769952.csv"
contentType: "text/csv"
However I am not able to READ the uploaded file.
I have no clue how to do it ( and how to do it the best way possible )
So far I am just able to see the 3 informations above ( filename / tempPath & contentType )
Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated, I have been struggling for more than one week with this issue.
Hi,
That service /API/FormFIleUpload, is pushing the file on server side, and you are client side. By definition you will not be able to access it.
I see 2 different scenarios to have this need :
* Validate the content of the file (or similar) before allowing submission of the task and be handle (the file) by the process
* Use the file only on frontend to extract data or similar
For first use case, (assuming it is a different validation by form/process...) I will go for a new Servlet (tomcat) that will validate the content and then do a redirect to the FormFIleUpload servlet, your form will call this new servlet.
In front end, I will do that in a customWidget, see this angularjs example: https://jsfiddle.net/alexsuch/6aG4x/

Thank you very much,
Will try this way
You got a point, I actually don't need to upload my file ( just be able to read it )
I will wait until the end of the week to validate your answer
Do you have more practicail example how can I implement this code inside my custom widget? I don't have much in experience in Bonita nor Angular, thank you in advance
