I've been asked this time to also create a test script for file upload in a JSF application using JMeter. The generated script from blazemeter is as follows:
generated script for input form
The encircled value is the file name. I have noticed that the parameter was not created under "Files Upload" tab, so I have also tried to move the parameter to File Upload tab, using the generated content type in our application logs when uploading as Mime Type in JMeter:
Jmeter file upload tab
Generated content type
But it has the same result when I first tried the script where the file name parameter was still under "Parameters" tab (file name is null according to localhost application logs):
Application log indicating that file name is null
The UI of the file upload is this. The user clicks browse button, picks a file then the name of the file is displayed in the input field (Import File). The user would then click the Import button to submit the form:
File upload UI
Am I missing a step or doing something incorrectly?
Thank you in advance! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your way of building a file upload request might be wrong, if you want to continue manual experiments I would recommend comparing requests which are being sent by JMeter and the real browser using a sniffer tool like Wireshark. Apart from ${VIEWSTATE} the requests should be exactly the same.
An easier option would be just re-recording the request (you can record only one single request) using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.
Prepare JMeter for recording. The easiest way of doing this is using JMeter Templates feature
from JMeter main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create"
expand HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"
Prepare your browser for recording, refer your browser documentation in order to set up proxy using localhost as the proxy host and 8888 as the proxy port, the proxy needs to be set for all protocols with no exclusions. The relevant configuration for Mozilla Firefox (the only free and open source popular browser, moreover it has separate proxy configuration which does not derive from the operating system) would be:
Copy the file you will be recording to the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation. If you omit this step JMeter will not be able to properly record the request. See Recording File Uploads with JMeter article for more details if needed
Execute the request in browser - the relevant HTTP Request sampler will be generated under the Recording Controller

There is a get request which is filtering through + while trying to access from the browser and its working.
But when trying to do the same in case of Jmeter or postman its not working.
The request which is working from the browser is in below format.
/jon/doe/foo/baar/Number+123456789
How can I achieve the same in Jmeter?
If you can successfully execute the request in browser you should be able to record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Prepare JMeter for recording. The easiest way of doing this is using JMeter Templates Feature
From JMeter's main menu choose File -> Templates -> Recording and click "Create"
Select HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click "Start"
Prepare your browser for recording. Refer its documentation with regards to how to configure it to use proxy. I would recommend going for Mozilla Firefox, just like JMeter it's free and open source, moreover it has separate proxy configuration which is not derived from the operating system.
From ☰ menu choose `Preferences -> General -> Network Proxy -> Settings
Use localhost as the proxy host and 8888 as the proxy port. Use the proxy for all protocols with no exceptions like
Execute your request in browser
JMeter will save the relevant HTTP Request under the Recording Controller
Inspect request and response details using View Results Tree listener
'+' is a special symbol and you need to encode it: /jon/doe/foo/baar/Number%2B123456789
Jemeter has a function to do it in runtime, documentation:
__urlencode : Function to encode a string to a application/x-www-form-urlencoded
string.
For example, the string ${__urlencode(Word "school" is "école" in french)}
returns Word+%22school%22+is+%22%C3%A9cole%22+in+french.
I am performing a task in Java Struts2 Framework. Task is uploading a file and view the file when click on a specific link.
Problem is I am able to upload the file in desired folder. But when click on link It is giving 404 error, although file is uploaded in correct location as in link.
If I refresh project, then I am able to see the file on same link.
Without refreshing project, Can we see the file in browser in STRUTS2 framework?
Thanks
If you are running a server in eclipse then it may be resolved when you deploy it on the Apache Tomcat Server because when you run on internally all data stored in the cache memory which is temporary while the server is running once you stop the server you will lose your data.
You just create the method to open the uploaded file, and use () tag to instead of anchor tag for Link and call the action mapped with file opening method. In method you just write the code to open the file on client computer.
EDIT: how to upload file zip through restful api in jmeterstrong text
I have upload Zip file but result show failure message
{"result":"failure","message":"File not found"}
i have used Mime type:application/octet-stream
but I have run through **fiddler** it show
{"result":"success","message":"File saved successfully"}
please can any one find the sloutions for it
what can do for jmeter
I don't see any Parameter name in your HTTP Request. Put a parameter name in your Request.
The Parameter name must be carefully specified. Otherwise, your file will be going nowhere. In order to determine the correct value do one of the following:
Inspect page source and get “name” attribute of “file” type input.
Or let JMeter do it for you via the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder.

I have a BIRT report that I've created in GWT and I'd like to save it to the server and then open it back up. I feel like hardcoding the url is the wrong route to go (ie C:/files/foo/foo.html) but I'm not having much luck figuring out another way of doing it. I tried using GWT.getModuleBaseForStaticFiles() but if i use that I get an unsatisfied link error in BIRT. What can I use to save/open a file, what is considered the best practice? Thanks.
edit: bad wording, the BIRT report is generated server-side. I'd like to be able to save it server side and then open it up in a new browser window (using window.open I'd imagine?). Nothing is uploaded from the client side.
If your BIRT report is a static file (Not generated during the runtime of your application) You can create a simple Servlet that read the file and copy the data to the OutputStream of the response. If it's generated at the runtime, the client will request it to the server, the server will generate it and return the URL location of the report. The client can open the report with that URL.
Example:
If your BIRT is located under foo/foo.bar you can map a servlet as /foo/*. After mapping it the user will request the url www.yourselver.com/foo/foo.bar The servlet at the doGet method can read the file and stream the content back to the client.
I develop a web application using JDeveloper. Then, my scenario is I want to get a file from client directory (e.g. C://Image.jpg). What I want to achieve is the client's directory defined programmatically. So, I used InputStream, but it will search a file in server directory. if I used UploadedFile, I don't know how to define it. Note that I don't want to use InputFile.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Search for HTTP File Upload. You need an <input type='file'> control on your webpage, and form encoding set as enctype='multipart/form-data'.
Generally, you can't control the default directory where the browser is going to open a file chooser -- it normally starts from the "user home" directory, but other dirs can be navigated to.
