How to encode filename of FileUpload UI element

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I used FileUpload element to upload file to KM folder.<b> It works fine for the English filename, but fails to work for the non-English filename. (Chinese filename</b>). How do I encode the filename to be recognized by the FileUpload API. A piece of my code is as follows:

WDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.nodeFileUpload().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("FileResource");

IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();

String mineType = binaryType.getMimeType().toString();

byte[] fileData = wdContext.currentFileUploadElement().getFileResource();

File file = new File(binaryType.getFileName());

/Create an output stream for writing to the temperory location/

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);

out.write(fileData);

out.flush();

out.close();

/From the temporary location read the file using an input stream/

FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(".//"+file);

<b>binaryType.getFileName() gives me the wrong encoding characters.</b>

Please advice me how to solve this....thanks a lot.

I finally found a forum to solve this problem. Here is the link:

I followed Omer Shem-tov 's solution.

Hi Zita,

Try this...

String fileName = new String(binaryType.getFileName().getBytes(),"UTF-8");

File file = new File(fileName);

If charset <b>UTF-8</b> doesnt work then you can try <b>iso-2022-cn</b> which is for Chinese charset.

Hi Abhilash,

Thank you for your reply, but none of them is working....

I tried:

fileName = new String(binaryType.getFileName().getBytes((String)System.getProperties().get("file.encoding")), "Big5");

fileName = new String(binaryType.getFileName().getBytes(), "Big5");

fileName = new String(binaryType.getFileName().getBytes(), "iso-2022-cn");

fileName = new String(binaryType.getFileName().getBytes(), "UTF-8");

Any other method???

thanks,

Zita

Hi Zita,

I am not sure if binaryType.getFileName().getBytes() is returning the file name in proper format. I used same method in Java and it was working fine.

Hi,

binaryType.getFileName() return String. If the file name is English, it will return English filename correctly. If getBytes() is removed from this line, then it will have an error, saying that Constructor String(string,string) is undefined.

Any advice.

thanks,

Zita
