Upload File to Google Cloud Storage via appengine


I am trying to upload a file to Google Cloud Storage. My Servlet code is

public class UploadFile extends HttpServlet {

    private final String BUCKET = "XXXXXXXXX";
       private boolean isMultipart;
       private String filePath;
       private int maxFileSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
       private int maxMemSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
       private File file ;

       public void init( ){
          // Get the file location where it would be stored.
          filePath = 
                 getServletContext().getInitParameter("file-upload"); 
       }
       public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, 
                   HttpServletResponse response)
                  throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
          // Check that we have a file upload request
          isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          java.io.PrintWriter out = response.getWriter( );
          if( !isMultipart ){
             out.println("<html>");
             out.println("<head>");
             out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");  
             out.println("</head>");
             out.println("<body>");
             out.println("<p>No file uploaded</p>"); 
             out.println("</body>");
             out.println("</html>");
             return;
          }
          DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
          // maximum size that will be stored in memory
          factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize);
          // Location to save data that is larger than maxMemSize.
          factory.setRepository(new File("/temp/image/"));

          // Create a new file upload handler
          ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
          // maximum file size to be uploaded.
          upload.setSizeMax( maxFileSize );

          try{ 
          // Parse the request to get file items.
          List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);

          // Process the uploaded file items
          Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();

          out.println("<html>");
          out.println("<head>");
          out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");  
          out.println("</head>");
          out.println("<body>");
          while ( i.hasNext () ) 
          {
             FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
             if ( !fi.isFormField () )  
             {
                // Get the uploaded file parameters
                String fieldName = fi.getFieldName();
                String fileName = fi.getName();
                String contentType = fi.getContentType();
                boolean isInMemory = fi.isInMemory();
                long sizeInBytes = fi.getSize();
                // Write the file
                if( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\") >= 0 ){
                   file = new File( filePath + 
                   fileName.substring( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\"))) ;
                }else{
                   file = new File( filePath + 
                   fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("\\")+1)) ;
                }

               String path = Events.uploadFile ( fileName, "image/*", file, BUCKET );

                // fi.write( file ) ;
                out.println("Uploaded Filename: " + fileName + "<br>"+ " File Path:"+ path);
             }
          }
          out.println("</body>");
          out.println("</html>");
       }catch(Exception ex) {
           System.out.println(ex);
       }
       }
       public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
                           HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {

            throw new ServletException("GET method used with " +
                    getClass( ).getName( )+": POST method required.");
       } 
    }

web.xml

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>UploadFile</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>XXXXXXXXXX.UploadFile</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>UploadFile</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/uploadManager/UploadFile</url-pattern>  //Based on your original URL
    </servlet-mapping>

fileUpload function to save file to GCS

public static String uploadFile ( String name, String contentType, File file, String bucketName )
            throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException
    {

        InputStreamContent contentStream = new InputStreamContent ( contentType, new FileInputStream ( file ) );

        // Setting the length improves upload performance
        contentStream.setLength ( file.length () );

        StorageObject objectMetadata = new StorageObject ()
                // Set the destination object name
                .setName ( name )
                // Set the access control list to publicly read-only
                .setAcl ( Arrays.asList ( new ObjectAccessControl ().setEntity ( "allUsers" ).setRole ( "READER" ) ) );

        // Do the insert
        Storage client = StorageFactory.getService ();
        Storage.Objects.Insert insertRequest = client.objects ().insert ( bucketName, objectMetadata, contentStream );

        insertRequest.execute ();
        return "https://storage.cloud.google.com/" + BUCKET + "/" + file.getName ();
    }

But when i try to test this with some API testing client it gives error

org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found

Further after integrating it with UI which is in Angular and testing it locally, i am facing this issue

Cross-Origin Request Blocked Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing

I tried to resolve this issue but found no solution corresponding to google appengine.


Initially i am trying to upload a image through this code but in near future same code is to be used to upload .pdf and .html files to GCS.

For reference: I am using Google Endpoints for my other data communication needs with client end. Client End is a webapp build in Angular but it will be extended to android and ios.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank You

UPDATE 1/8/2016

Now i am getting file on server but i don't know where i have to temporarily save the file before sending it to Google Cloud Storage. On storing file in

war\WEB-INI\

and exception i am facing is

 java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "\war\WEB-INI\profile.png" "read")

Solution

  • Finally I am able to uploading a file from client end to Google Cloud Storage via appengine.

    I assume that before executing these steps you have following things ready

    • JSON file from your service account.
    • Created a default bucket.

    Step 1: Make a Servlet like this

    package XXXXXXXXX;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.security.GeneralSecurityException;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    
    import com.google.api.client.http.InputStreamContent;
    import com.google.api.services.storage.Storage;
    import com.google.api.services.storage.model.ObjectAccessControl;
    import com.google.api.services.storage.model.StorageObject;
    
    import XXXXXXXXXXXXX.StorageFactory;
    
    //@author Umesh Chauhan
    
    /**
     * Save File to GCS
     *
     * @param fileName        File Name with format
     * @header Content-Type   "*/*"
     * @return file path
     * @throws Exception      Any Error during upload
     */
    public class UploadFile extends HttpServlet
    {
    
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
        private final String BUCKET = "YOUR BUCKET NAME";
        private int maxFileSize = 6 * 1024 * 1024;
    
        @Override
        protected void doOptions ( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp ) throws ServletException, IOException
        {
            // pre-flight request processing
            resp.setHeader ( "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*" );
            resp.setHeader ( "Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "*" );
            resp.setHeader ( "Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept" );
        }
    
        @Override
        public void doPost ( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response )
                throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
        {
    
            try
            {
                String path = uploadFile ( request.getParameter ( "fileName" ), request.getContentType (),
                        request.getInputStream (), BUCKET, request.getInputStream ().available () );
                // Sending Response
                response.setStatus ( HttpServletResponse.SC_OK );
                response.getWriter ().write ( path );
                response.getWriter ().flush ();
                response.getWriter ().close ();
    
            }
            catch ( GeneralSecurityException e )
            {
                e.printStackTrace ();
            }
        }
    
        public String uploadFile ( String name, String contentType, InputStream input, String bucketName,
                int contentLength ) throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException
        {
    
            InputStreamContent contentStream = new InputStreamContent ( contentType, input );
    
            if ( contentLength < maxFileSize )
            {
    
                // It is done Automatically.
                /*
                 * // Setting the length improves upload performance
                 * contentStream.setLength ( contentLength );
                 */
    
                StorageObject objectMetadata = new StorageObject ()
                        // Set the destination object name
                        .setName ( name )
                        // Set the access control list to publicly read-only
                        .setAcl ( Arrays.asList (
                                new ObjectAccessControl ().setEntity ( "allUsers" ).setRole ( "READER" ) ) );
    
                // Do the insert
                Storage client = StorageFactory.getService ();
    
                Storage.Objects.Insert insertRequest = client.objects ()
                        .insert ( bucketName, objectMetadata, contentStream );
    
                insertRequest.execute ();
    
                return "https://storage.cloud.google.com/" + BUCKET + "/" + name;
            }
            else
            {
                throw new GeneralSecurityException ( "File size canot be more then 6 MB !" );
            }
        }
    
        public void doGet ( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response )
                throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
        {
            throw new ServletException ( "GET method used with " + getClass ().getName () + ": POST method required." );
        }
    
    }
    

    Step 2: Your Storage Factory

    package XXXXXXXXXXXX;
    
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.security.GeneralSecurityException;
    import java.util.Collection;
    
    import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential;
    import com.google.api.client.googleapis.javanet.GoogleNetHttpTransport;
    import com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport;
    import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory;
    import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
    import com.google.api.services.storage.Storage;
    import com.google.api.services.storage.StorageScopes;
    
    //@author Umesh Chauhan 
    
    public class StorageFactory
    {
    
        private static Storage instance = null;
    
        public static synchronized Storage getService () throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException
        {
            if ( instance == null )
            {
                instance = buildService ();
            }
            return instance;
        }
    
        private static Storage buildService () throws IOException, GeneralSecurityException
        {
    
            HttpTransport transport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport ();
            JsonFactory jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory ();
    
            GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential.fromStream (
                    new URL ( "HERE GOES THE URL FOR YOUR SERVICE ACCOUNT JSON - I USED GOOGLE DRIVE DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK TO MY JSON FILE" )
                            .openStream () );
    
            // Depending on the environment that provides the default credentials
            // (for
            // example: Compute Engine, App Engine), the credentials may require us
            // to
            // specify the scopes we need explicitly. Check for this case, and
            // inject
            // the Cloud Storage scope if required.
            if ( credential.createScopedRequired () )
            {
                Collection<String> scopes = StorageScopes.all ();
                credential = credential.createScoped ( scopes );
            }
    
            return new Storage.Builder ( transport, jsonFactory, credential ).setApplicationName ( "YOUR PROJECT NAME" ).build ();
        }
    }
    

    Step 3: Update you web.xml

        <servlet>
            <servlet-name>UploadFile</servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>PACKAGE.UploadFile</servlet-class>
        </servlet>
    
        <servlet-mapping>
            <servlet-name>UploadFile</servlet-name>
            <url-pattern>/uploadManager/UploadFile</url-pattern>  //Based on your original URL
        </servlet-mapping>
