Hi. I’m trying to use your download component in a .xhmtl page. The EL expression in the data tag is invoked correctly in my bean, but when I go back to the page, it doesn’t show me the link where I have to click to get the dialog box. I’ve tried putting an image instead of text, but that doesn’t work either. Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong?? Thanks!

Marceli, it looks like there’s a permissions problem on the applet. It should have been signed when the library was built, but it appears that did not happen for some reason. I’ll try to get that fixed.

Jason, thanks for the answer. I’ve just tried to see the multi-file example at this link but if I click “Add Files” nothing happens (it’s supposed to open file chooser, right?).
I checked at firefox and IE.
Can you help me?

Marceli, what errors are you getting? If you'd like to see a sample of using the download and mult-file upload components, check out the demo app (source code).

Adriana, you can find info about downloading and demoing the Sandbox components here.

Hi. I’m interested in trying out your download component. I’ve read in this page that some people have tried it, but I can’t find where to download it from. Could someone please give me a hint? Thank you very much!!!

I downloaded your component but I’m getting some errors.. please I need a full example, including the beans for “download” and “multi-file-upload” tools.

Thanks a lot Jason, your component is now working like a charm.

Paul, I was almost right. It was in the right area of the code, but slightly different issue. You can check the CVS commit message if you’d like the details, but I should have that issue fixed for you. All you’ll need to do is update your tree and rebuild. I tested both prefix and suffix mapped just to make sure things are working, and, based on my simple test application, that appears to be the case. Let me know if you continue to have problems.

Well, that is a “fake” URL that should trigger the JSF lifecycle, allowing the PhaseListener to pick up the request. Are you using prefix mapping? I’m guessing that’s what the problem is. I haven’t done a good deal of testing using prefix mapping, as we always use suffix mapping (*.jsf). Let me take a look at that, and I’ll try to get a fix committed today.

Hello Jason,

I’m pretty much interested in your Download component. I checked it out from the sandbox and tried to use it (method=”download”). It generates the GetPdf link but then I got :

“Etat HTTP 404 – /secure/Sandbox___Download.jsp”

I saw a reference to /Sandbox___Download in FileDownload.java but I don’t understand where Sandbox___Download.jsp should come from.

Can you explain ?

Thanks

Luis,

Sorry for the slow response. I’ve been on vacation over the Christmas holiday, so I’ve been mostly away from things. Right now, there’s nowhere to download a binary, though we’re working on getting a nightly build set up for that. I’ll try to build a binary and upload here for you in the next day or two.

I’m very interested in the “Multi-file Uploads”. Can you tell me where can I find to download it ?

cool components. Are they dependent on apache.commons.fileupload?
Any news on the release?

I have considered the Tomahawk Sandbox, but decided against it for a number of reasons. One of the goals I hope to achieve with this donation/migration is to create a nice set of components to bundle with (and offer separate from) the 1.2 RI. While the impl association is a nice-to-have (for me), the JSF version is pretty important, as I’ve been using 1.2 APIs. To date, MyFaces has not released a 1.2 impl that I’m aware of, so Tomahawk is ruled out from the start. And, given the licensing of some of the code (CDDL and GPL), inclusion in Tomahawk would be diffficult, I would think, and I just don’t have time to chase that down. With Ryan Lubke’s opening of the sandbox and Ed’s offer of inclusion there, one of these two solutions just seemed a better fit.

I was going to suggest the Tomahawk Sandbox also.

Looks great! Have you considered Apache Tomahawk Sandbox as well?
