Resteasy multipart/data-form file upload on GAE


I'm trying to use resteasy 2.0.1.GA to upload a form with a file in it into GAE application, using the method advised at How do I do a multipart/form file upload with jax-rs?

Index.html

<form action="/rest/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="text" name="name" />
  <input type="file" name="file" />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

Rest.java

@Path("")
public class Rest {
    @POST
    @Path("/rest/upload")
    @Consumes("multipart/form-data")
    public String postContent(@MultipartForm UploadForm form) {
        System.out.println(form.getData().length);
        System.out.println(form.getName());
        return "Done";
    }
}

UploadForm.java

public class UploadForm {

    private String name;
    private byte[] data;

    @FormParam("name")
    public void setPath(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    @FormParam("file")
    public void setContentData(byte[] data) {
        this.data = data;
    }

    public byte[] getData() {
        return data;
    }
}

But I'm getting the following error message (probably due to the RESTEasy Provider's implmenetation that uses temporary files to handle the input stream):

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /files/service/upload. Reason:

    java.io.FileOutputStream is a restricted class. Please see the Google  App Engine developer's guide for more details.

Has anyone encountered this issue with GAE and RESTEasy? Has anyone solved it? I couldn't find any mentioning for this issue anywhere. Thanks!


Solution

  • Well, I've found a walk-around for it - I'm using apache commons-upload with RESTEasy, by injecting the HttpServletRequest into a RESTEasy method (and transforming the streams into byte array/string using commons-IO). All packages are app engine supported.

    @Path("")
    public class Rest {
        @POST
        @Path("/rest/upload")
        public String postContent(@Context HttpServletRequest request) {
            ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload();
            FileItemIterator fileIterator = upload.getItemIterator(request);
            while (fileIterator.hasNext()) {
                FileItemStream item = fileIterator.next();
                if ("file".equals(item.getFieldName())){
                    byte[] content = IOUtils.toByteArray(item.openStream())
                    // Save content into datastore
                    // ... 
                } else if ("name".equals(item.getFieldName())){
                    String name=IOUtils.toString(item.openStream());
                    // Do something with the name string
                    // ...
                }
            }
            return "Done";
        } 
    }
    

    I would still rather find a RESTEasy solution, to avoid the broil-up code around the fileIterator.
