iframe and saveState
Hi users,
I'm trying to do file upload functionality kind of similar to gmail one.
I thought that it could be done using iframe and saveState from tomahawk
but I'm facing some problems.
In my page main page I have nested iframe component:
...
<h:form>
.. some input fields etc.
<div id="attachments">
<iframe src="attachments.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"
width="90%" height="60" ></iframe>
</div>
<h:commandLink action="#{someMBean.save} value="save" />
</h:form>
...
page nested in the iframe:
...
<t:saveState id="uploadedFiles" value="#{someBean.uploadedAttachements}"/>
...some data table to display uploaded files
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<t:inputFileUpload value="#{someMBean.attachment}"
storage="file" accept="*/*" required="true" size="30"/>
<h:commandButton value="upload" action="#{
someMBean.uploadAttachement}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
....
Now the issue is that when I upload the files, with the iframe nested page,
they are stored between request with "saveState" tag as they should,
I can see them listed in the data table.
The problem is that when I try to save the whole item (some input fields and
uploaded attachment files), with previously uploaded attachments,
using the form in my main page (the one in which iframe is nested) the
uploaded attachments collection is empty.
Placing <t:saveState id="uploadedFiles" value="#{
someBean.uploadedAttachements}"/> in the main page doesn't change situation.
Is there a way to keep state of some variable between requests generated
from iframe and my main page?
Maybe I'm following wrong way to do this upload, do you have any other
proposals?
Please note that I don't want to store anything in session scope.
Thanks in advance.
Piotr

Hi,
I just got answer from Martin, regarding Orchestra clustering, who asked me
to post it here.
So here it goes:
"this is only true if you use the JPA-support of Orchestra - if you do
not use JPA, you can certainly run Orchestra in a clustered
environment as well."

Hi Piotr,
if you do not want session scope, how about some
dialog/conversation-scope, like Orchestra?

Re: iframe and saveState
Posted by Ernst Fastl <er...@gmail.com>.
Be aware that t:saveState also does no "magic" to not use memory for
things you store there. Generally you
have 2 types of state saving in JSF: server-side and client-side.
server-side saves the state in the HTTP Session
of the user, client-side serializes and encodes the state and sends it
back to the client in an hidden input field.
For a list of uploaded file data I would NOT recommend client side
state saving because it would always sent the
complete list of files to the client and back again (lots of bandwith
and cpu power required). If you have that much memory concerns
on your server that you cannot use the HTTP Session to store the
uploaded files temporarily then do not use t:saveState
for the file data (because it likely does exactly that - check your web.xml).
In this case you maybe want to save the files directly to disk in a
temporary folder and store only
the file-names and size in the backing bean (to still be able to show
the list of attachments before they are saved).
A nightly cron job could delete all files in the temporary folder
which are older than a day or so.
hope this helps
Ernst

Hi,
any suggestions please. I'm really facing a big problem with this.
I thought that maybe while being in the "mainPage" view
I could try to retrieve value of "t:saveState" component from "iframe" view
but can't figure out how to implement this exactly.
Any help would be appreciated.
