Downloading multipart file in AEM Sling filter - how?

Avatar

Level 1

Hi, I am uploading assets to AEM's servlet, but before the file reaches servlet, I want to intercept it with a filter and scan it.

All details aside, I am unable to extract file from ServletRequest.


Here is my filter:

   @Component

   @SlingServletFilter(scope = {SlingServletFilterScope.REQUEST},

                       pattern = ".*createasset.html",

                       methods = {"POST"})

   public class UploadFileFilter implements Filter {

       @Override

       public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {

       }

       @Override

       public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

           SlingHttpServletResponse slingResponse = (SlingHttpServletResponse) response;

          //try to download multipart file...

           chain.doFilter(request, slingResponse);

       }

       @Override

       public void destroy() {

       }

   }

I can't read input stream directly in filter, because it has already been read.

I have tried solution from this post:

Re: AEM File Upload

But request.getRequestParameterMap() always return empty map. Is it because I try to access parameters in a filter, not a servlet?

Do you know any working way to download multipart file in a filter?

As I stated in the other thread - Sling Has its own way in a Servlet to read the InputStream. That code works to read a file in a Sling Servlet. I have never tried to capture it within a filter. Lets see if other community members have.

Since you have the same request object in the filter servlet, you should be able to access the inputstream, download it to a local file and scan it.

Are you not able to find the input stream in your filter ? what is the error thrown ?

When I request.getInputStream() I get error saying that input data has already been read, which, as far as I know, is the expected behaviour in AEM servlets and filters.

Hi, thank you for answering!

Using the code you posted, I get and error inside CreateAssetServlet.java:

This is my code in my filter:

@Override

    FilterChain chain)

    throws IOException, ServletException {

    if (!(request instanceof SlingHttpServletRequest)

      || !(response instanceof SlingHttpServletResponse)) {

      chain.doFilter(request, response);

      return;

    }

    final SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest = (SlingHttpServletRequest) request;

    if (!StringUtils.equals("POST", slingRequest.getMethod())

      || !isCreateAssetRequest(slingRequest)) {

      chain.doFilter(request, response);

      return;

    }

    Iterator<Part> partsIter = (Iterator) request.getAttribute("request-parts-iterator");

    if ((partsIter == null) || !partsIter.hasNext()) {

      chain.doFilter(request, response);

      return;

    }

    List<Part> parts = new ArrayList<>();

    while (partsIter.hasNext()) {

      Part part = partsIter.next();

      String tmpDir = System.getProperty(TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY);

      File tmpFile = new File(tmpDir + "/temp-upload-asset.tmp");

      FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(tmpFile);

      ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

      IOUtils.copy(part.getInputStream(), baos);

      fileOutputStream.write(baos.toByteArray());

      fileOutputStream.close();

      parts.add(part);

    }

    request.setAttribute("request-parts-iterator", parts.iterator());

    chain.doFilter(request, response);

  }

FileItemStream$ItemSkippedException  would happen if you try to use the stream outside the context/block where it was initially read/opened.

I'll test the code later & revert..

Below is the code that worked for me. I've highlighted couple of changes that I did in DecryptAssetsFilter shared in that link:

  • Used slingRequest.getParts() to iterate rather than the custom request attribute
  • changed the method getSubmittedFileName() to getName()

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)

throws IOException, ServletException {

if (!(request instanceof SlingHttpServletRequest) || !(response instanceof SlingHttpServletResponse)) {

chain.doFilter(request, response);

return;

}

final SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest = (SlingHttpServletRequest) request;

if (!StringUtils.equals("POST", slingRequest.getMethod()) || !isCreateAssetRequest(slingRequest)) {

chain.doFilter(request, response);

return;

}

log.info("Decoding create asset request - " + slingRequest.getRequestURI());

List parts = (ArrayList) slingRequest.getParts();

if ((parts == null) || parts.size() == 0) {

chain.doFilter(request, response);

return;

}

List<Part> otherParts = new ArrayList<Part>();

Part part = null;

for (int i = 0; i < parts.size() - 1; i++) {

part = (Part) parts.get(i);

otherParts.add(new EAEMDecryptRequestPart(part));

}

chain.doFilter(request, response);

}

private boolean isCreateAssetRequest(SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest) {

String[] selectors = slingRequest.getRequestPathInfo().getSelectors();

if (ArrayUtils.isEmpty(selectors) || (selectors.length > 1)) {

return false;

}

return selectors[0].equals("createasset");

}

public void destroy() {

}

private static class EAEMDecryptRequestPart implements Part {

private final Part part;

private final InputStream inputStream;

private static final String TEMP_PREFIX = "eaem_decrypt_";

public EAEMDecryptRequestPart(Part part) throws IOException {

this.part = part;

if (!isFilePart(part)) {

this.inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(IOUtils.toByteArray(part.getInputStream()));

} else {

this.inputStream = this.getDecodedStream(part);

}

}

private InputStream getDecodedStream(Part part) throws IOException {

File tmpFile = File.createTempFile(TEMP_PREFIX, ".tmp");

// byte[] decoded =

// Base64.getDecoder().decode(IOUtils.toByteArray(part.getInputStream()));  //use decode, if the input file is encoded

byte[] decoded = IOUtils.toByteArray(part.getInputStream());

FileOutputStream decodedStream = new FileOutputStream(tmpFile);

decodedStream.write(decoded);

decodedStream.close();

return new FileInputStream(tmpFile);

}

private boolean isFilePart(Part part) {

return StringUtils.isNotEmpty(part.getName());

}

public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException {

return inputStream;

}

public String getContentType() {

return part.getContentType();

}

public String getName() {

return part.getName();

}

public long getSize() {

return 0;

}

public void write(String s) throws IOException {

throw new UnsupportedOperationException(

"Writing parts directly to disk is not supported by this implementation, use getInputStream instead");

}

public void delete() throws IOException {

}

public String getHeader(String headerName) {

return part.getHeader(headerName);

}

public Collection<String> getHeaders(String headerName) {

return part.getHeaders(headerName);

}

public Collection<String> getHeaderNames() {

return part.getHeaderNames();

}

public String getSubmittedFileName() {

return part.getName();

}

private <T> Collection<T> toCollection(Iterator<T> i) {

if (i == null) {

return Collections.emptyList();

} else {

List<T> c = new ArrayList<T>();

while (i.hasNext()) {

Hello, unfortunatelly my SlingHttpServletRequest does not have getParts() method. Mine comes from com.adobe.aem:uber-jar:apis:6.3.3

Anyway, I have tried the code that you previously posted from:

https://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2018/11/aem-6420-file-de…

And it seems to work now, except I cant extract code from getDecodedStream method, or else it will throw, the exception I have described above, inside CreateAsserServlet​.
