Some AJAX-based form submit scripts that support file upload expect the return

content-type

to be

text/html

(instead of

application/json

) because of the way scripts target iFrames. In these cases, you specify parameter

responseContentType=text/html

. If the

responseContentType

IS present, Process Server uses the value defined by the parameter as the response content-type instead of the default

application/json

A few AJAX file upload scripts such as the

jQuery Forms Plugin

(see

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/form/

) also require responses to

multipart/form-data

forms POSTs to be wrapped in a HTML element such as the

textarea

tag. Do this by using the

responseWrap

parameter. The value of this parameter should be the HTML element tag name.

The following shows HTML file upload form used by the jQuery Forms plugins, which requires the response to be returned wrapped in a HTML textarea tag with content-type head of

text/html


<form method='POST'
       enctype='multipart/form-data' 
       action='http://localhost:8080/active-bpel/services/JSON/humantaskProcessDemoService'>
   <!-- JSON message payload in a hidden field named '_json'  -->
   <input type="hidden" name="_json" 
        value='{
         "loanProcessRequest":
         {"xmlns"               :"http:\/\/schemas.active-endpoints.com\/sample\/LoanRequest\/2008\/02\/loanRequest.xsd",
          "loanType"            :{"$t":"Automobile"},
          "firstName"           :{"$t":"FileUploadJohn"},
          "lastName"            :{"$t":"Smith"},
          "dayPhone"            :{"$t":"2039299400"},
          "nightPhone"          :{"$t":"2035551212"},

          "responseEmail"       :{"$t":"john.smith@example.com"}}}' />
   <!-- Force response content-type to text/html -->
   <input type="hidden" name="responseContentType" value="text/html" />
   <!-- Return response wrapped in a textarea element -->
   <input type="hidden" name="responseWrap" value="textarea" />   
   File1: <input type="file" name="file_1" /> <br/>
   <input type="submit" value="Upload File"/>
</form>
