Convert an UploadedFile into a File


I'm using PrimeFaces 3.2 and I should store a file on filesystem. Now, I know that the class FileUploaded creates a temp file so I would convert it into a real file using java.io.File.

Here it is my code:

String fileName = "D:/upload/file.zip"; //--- this is an example, in my real code it is dynamic
UploadedFile uploadedFile;

//--- getters and setters
InputStream in = uploadedFile.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(fileName));

int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];

while ((read = in.read(bytes)) != -1) {
    out.write(bytes, 0, read);
}

in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();

The problem is that into the folder the application create a .tmp file but after it isn't "convert" to the file that I want! The log returns:

I tried also this solution:

How to get java.io.File from Apache's UploadedFile class?

But I received the same error. Thank you for your help!


Solution

  • I met the similar problem before, it is very simple, You just need to create a new File for it. But firstly, you should confirm the path you want to write is available. Here is the sample code

    //This is used for new file creation.
    File f = new File(ParentPath, FileName);
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
    

    Or you can just use java.nio.Files for it.

    Files.newOutputStream(path, options);
    

    Please check javadoc for it.
