Requirement: I want to Upload a File in the Absolute Server Path, and the details about the uploaded files will be stored in the Oracle Database Table.

Then in the user interface, we will be having the table displaying the file details and one of the columns in this table is the Download hyperlink on click of which it will download the corresponding file.

Solution: For the solution of the above requirement follow the steps as shown below.

Step 1: Create a file_upload_download table in the Oracle Database. The table creation script is as below:

CREATE TABLE file_upload_download (
    file_name     VARCHAR2(50),
    file_path     VARCHAR2(100),
    content_type  VARCHAR2(500)
);

Step 2: Create an ADF Fusion Web Application. Create a ADF Business Components from Tables for the file_upload_download table.

Step 3: Create an AppModuleImpl.java class and write the below setFileData method.

public void setFileData(String name, String path, String contTyp) {
    ViewObject fileVo = this.getFileUploadDownloadVO1();
    Row newRow = fileVo.createRow();
    newRow.setAttribute("FileName", name);
    newRow.setAttribute("FilePath", path);
    newRow.setAttribute("ContentType", contTyp);
    fileVo.insertRow(newRow);
    this.getDBTransaction().commit();
    fileVo.executeQuery();
}

Expose setFileData method as a Client Interface.

Step 4: Create a fileUploadDownloadDemo.jspx file in the VewController project.

Drag and drop af:panelCollection and set featuresOff=”viewMenu detach”

Drag and drop af:toolbar inside the toolbar facet of the af:panelCollection

Drag and drop af:inputFile inside the af:toolbar and set label=”Browse and Upload”, autoSubmit=”true”, and
valueChangeListener=”#{pageFlowScope.FileUploadDownloadBean.browseAndUploadFileVCE}”

Drag and drop FileUploadDownloadVO1 from the the AppModuleDataControl as an ADF Table. Please remove the ContentType column.

Add and af:column inside which add af:link and set text=”Download”

Inside the af:link drag and drop af:fileDownloadActionListener and set filename=”#{row.bindings.FileName.inputValue}” and method=”#{pageFlowScope.FileUploadDownloadBean.downloadFileListener}”

Just a note, please make sure that the af:form has usesUpload=”true”

Thus, the complete code for the fileUploadDownloadDemo.jspx is shown below:

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        outputStream.flush();
    }
}

Please add setFileData in the Bindings and Executables.

Save all and run the application. Thus, the ran application is shown below:

Once we Browse and Upload few of the files the screen will look like below:

Once we query the file_upload_download table in the Oracle Database, we can see the data as below:

And, the actual files are getting loaded in the Absolute Server Path that we have defined which is C:\Users\Susanto\Desktop\MyFolder as shown below.

Now to download the already uploaded file, we can click on the Download link in the table. And with that, the corresponding file will get downloaded against which we have clicked the Download link.

As we have click on the Download links of both the rows one after another, hence both the files got downloaded as shown below.

Hence, the solution to our requirement.
