I\'m studying websocket and have done chat program with websocket/json. But I\'m stuck at file uploading ATM. Any advice & answer would be thankful.
Serv
In My case its working to upload large files without any browser crash or socket close.
Please follow the following steps to work it.
You can through this article to get an idea about the complete work flow, its working with Websocket.
After some researches and tries, I found out that 'reader.readAsBinaryString(file);' was a cause of Question 1. Changing it into 'reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);' my first problem has been solved.
In addition, since websocket transfers a file as several partial data automatically, I changed source as below. This works! only when the file size is not so big. :/
Changed server side source:
package websocket;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import javax.websocket.CloseReason;
import javax.websocket.EndpointConfig;
import javax.websocket.OnClose;
import javax.websocket.OnError;
import javax.websocket.OnMessage;
import javax.websocket.OnOpen;
import javax.websocket.Session;
import javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint;
@ServerEndpoint("/receive/fileserver")
public class FileServer {
static File uploadedFile = null;
static String fileName = null;
static FileOutputStream fos = null;
final static String filePath="d:/download/";
@OnOpen
public void open(Session session, EndpointConfig conf) {
System.out.println("chat ws server open");
}
@OnMessage
public void processUpload(ByteBuffer msg, boolean last, Session session) {
System.out.println("Binary Data");
while(msg.hasRemaining()) {
try {
fos.write(msg.get());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
@OnMessage
public void message(Session session, String msg) {
System.out.println("got msg: " + msg);
if(!msg.equals("end")) {
fileName=msg.substring(msg.indexOf(':')+1);
uploadedFile = new File(filePath+fileName);
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(uploadedFile);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}else {
try {
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
@OnClose
public void close(Session session, CloseReason reason) {
System.out.println("socket closed: "+ reason.getReasonPhrase());
}
@OnError
public void error(Session session, Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
Browser(Client) side:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Chat</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/MyHomePage/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>File Upload</h2>
Select file
<input type="file" id="filename" />
<br>
<input type="button" value="Connect" onclick="connectChatServer()" />
<br>
<input type="button" value="Upload" onclick="sendFile()" />
<script>
var ws;
function connectChatServer() {
ws = new WebSocket(
"ws://localhost:8080/MyHomePage/receive/fileserver");
ws.binaryType = "arraybuffer";
ws.onopen = function() {
alert("Connected.")
};
ws.onmessage = function(evt) {
alert(evt.msg);
};
ws.onclose = function() {
alert("Connection is closed...");
};
ws.onerror = function(e) {
alert(e.msg);
}
}
function sendFile() {
var file = document.getElementById('filename').files[0];
ws.send('filename:'+file.name);
var reader = new FileReader();
var rawData = new ArrayBuffer();
//alert(file.name);
reader.loadend = function() {
}
reader.onload = function(e) {
rawData = e.target.result;
ws.send(rawData);
alert("the File has been transferred.")
ws.send('end');
}
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Still I cannot figure out how to transfer larger size file. (I'm suspecting auto-timeout and/or buffer size). Any advice plz?
