Question

This is the error i get:

14:06:00,355 ERROR [JsonFilter] java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: byte.<init>(java.lang.String)

I have a basic upload form with an input file:

<form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<table>
<input type='file' name='logo'>
</table>
</form>

When I submit, it calls a setter servlet, inside the servlet theres an extract() to get the data:

if (fileUp.getContent("compLogo") != null) 
        {
            record.compLogo = fileUp.getContent("compLogo").getData();
        } else
            System.out.println("logo was null!");

        return record;  

But the thing, it throws that error before it even got the extact function, i’ve put many sysouts before it so i will know how the functions are moving around.

this generates the html codes

EditSplashPageDOM.generate = function (value, callback)
{
    var elem, output = document.createElement('form');
    output.myValue = value;
    output.myCallback = callback;
    output.method = 'post';
    output.enctype = 'multipart/form-data';
    output.onsubmit = function(ev) { callback.handleSubmit(value, this); return false; };
    output.appendChild(InputField.genHidden ('id', value.id));
    output.appendChild(InputField.genHidden ('name', value.name));

    var div, p;
    output.appendChild(div = document.createElement('div'));
    div.appendChild(p = document.createElement('p'));
    p.innerHTML = 'The Splash Page list all the information for the current ad. You may update to change the Splash Page.<br /><span class="footnote">*The info shown are data of the latest ad and the proper format.*</span>';

    var table = document.createElement('table');
    output.appendChild(table);
    table.className = 'detail';

    this.createRow(table, 'Company Symbol', 'compSymbol', value.compSymbol, 100, 50);
    this.createRow(table, 'Company Sec Id', 'secId', value.secId, 100, 50);

    this.createFileRow(table, 'Company Logo', 'compLogo', 100, 47); //this is for input the file

    row = table.insertRow (table.rows.length);
    cell = row.insertCell(0);
    cell.colSpan = 2;
    cell.className = 'detailAction'
    cell.appendChild(elem = InputField.genSubmit('Submit', 'Insert New Ad'));

    return output;
}

this is the submit function

EditSplashPageSimple.prototype.handleSubmit = function(value, form)
{

    value.compLogo = form.compLogo.value;
    value.compPAL = form.compPAL.value;
    value.compUrl = form.compUrl.value;

    if(value.compLogo == null)
        window.alert("comp logo is null");
    else 
        window.alert("logo is " + value.compLogo);

    var me = this;
    me.caller.setSplashPage(value);
                    {
                        handleRequestData : function(status) {
                            window.alert('Splash Page is successfully updated with new company ' + value.compSymbol);
//                          me.callback.handleAddition(value);
                        },
                        handleRequestError : function(error) {
                            // Only deal with validation exceptions.
                        if (!error.isValidationException) {
                            window.alert('Sorry, there was an error while trying to add the new information. Please double check the data.');
                            throw error;
                        }

                        window.alert(error.message);
                        var e;
                        if (error.field && (e = form.elements[error.field])) {
                            window.alert('error.field error idk');
                            e.focus();
                        }
                    }
                    });
}

when submit itll call the servlet

System.out.println("now to extract the content of the file and set it to the logo var");
            SplashPage record = (new SplashPageLogoAdapter(request)).extract();

the extract() is the same as i posted

It looks like this com.pinksheets API is assuming a class that it encounters at some point is going to have a constructor that takes a String; when it finds that the class in question is byte (i.e., java.lang.Byte.TYPE, which has no such constructor) you’re getting an exception.

I’d want to have a look at the source for com.pinksheets.common.web.req.HttpExtractor.getObject(); that’s where you’re going to see what’s going on.
