I need help with a Jira plugin that accepts user file uploads. Files aren’t received using common file upload libraries. Sample code:
FileProcessor fp = new FileProcessor();
List<UploadedFile> fileList = fp.processRequest(request);
for (UploadedFile file : fileList) {
System.out.println("File saved: " + file.getName());
}
Any fixes?
Considering similar issues I’ve faced integrating file uploads, I would check if the request is properly configured to handle multipart form data. The current implementation might be missing steps commonly required by the framework to parse file streams. Look into ensuring that your server or plugin configuration properly sets up a multipart resolver. Additionally, verify that all necessary request parameters are correctly forwarded for file processing. In my experience, proper configuration on both the client and server sides resolved similar problems where files were technically transmitted but not captured correctly by the process.
In my experience with file uploads in plugins, the problem often lies in how the request is handled before it reaches the file processing function. I once encountered a similar issue where the backend did not read the request’s input stream correctly because the uploaded file data was not properly bound to the expected parts. Adjusting the initialization of the multipart parser to explicitly target the file segments sorted things out. I also found it beneficial to add detailed logging to trace the flow of data through the request.
hey bob, try checking if u have the correct multipart boundary info. i’ve seen cases where a misconfigured content-type causes the plugin to miss file parts. a quick config fix might do the trick!
Reviewing my experience with similar issues, I recommend verifying that all server-side configurations are aligned with your request processing. There might be subtle configuration mismatches affecting how multipart content is handled. In one case, aligning the servlet filter initialization with the correct parsing logic resolved unexpected losses in file data. It is essential to ensure that the file content is not just received but appropriately buffered and mapped before processing to avoid null or incomplete file objects during runtime.
In my experience, one subtle issue that can cause similar problems is the way the file stream and encoding are handled in the request. I encountered a situation where the file wasn’t read properly because the encoding setup in the server was misconfigured. After some extensive testing and reviewing of the server logs, I found that ensuring the input stream was correctly interpreted by explicitly setting the character encoding resolved the issue. I recommend carefully checking how the server parses streams, especially when dealing with different content types and legacy settings.
