How to: Magic with SharePoint 2003, uploading files using a Web service

  • Článek

Some time ago I blogged about my intentions of uploading files to a SharePoint Document Library site from a local folder using some kind of Web service. After doing some research and some tests, I found a very easy way to do that and now I want to share with you the approach I followed since you might find it useful as well.

Prerequisites

To build this solution, you need to install Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and follow the next steps:

  • Create a Document Library
  • Grant access to the users that will upload files to the Document Library:

To install the Web service:

  1. Download ODC_WritingCustomWebServicesSampleSPPT.EXE.
  2. Extract the download contents to your hard drive and Run build.bat.
    • Note: This will install the Web service on the _vti_bin virtual directory inside the Default Web Site.
  3. Open the IIS Management Console (INETMGR) and navigate to the the _vti_bin virtual directory (inside the Default Web Site).
  4. Find SPFiles.asmx, right click, and Browse.
  5. Navigate to https://localhost/_vti_bin/SPFiles.asmx to validate if you have installed successfully the Web Service.

To consume the Web Service:

  1. From your managed application, add a reference to the https://localhost/_vti_bin/SPFiles.asmx Web Service.

  2. Call the Web service DocumentLoader. 

  3. Create a helper class to upload files. You can use the helper class I created.
    using System;
    using System.Net;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Configuration;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Security;
    using System.Web.Security;
    using System.Web.UI;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
    using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
    using DocumentLoader;

    /// <summary>
    /// A sample SharePointHelper class to upload files
    /// </summary>
    public class SharePointUploadHelper {
       private string _sharepointDocumentLibrary;

    public SharePointUploadHelper() {
    _sharepointDocumentLibrary = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SharePointDocLibrary"];
       }

       public string UploadDocumentsToSharePoint(string fileName) {

    DocumentLoader.SPFiles svcDocLoader = new DocumentLoader.SPFiles();
          svcDocLoader.PreAuthenticate = true;
          svcDocLoader.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    string strPath = fileName;
    string strFile = strPath.Substring(strPath.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
    string strDestination = _sharepointDocumentLibrary;

          FileStream fStream = new FileStream(strPath, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
    byte[] binFile = new byte[(int)fStream.Length];
          fStream.Read(binFile, 0, (int)fStream.Length);
          fStream.Close();
    string result = svcDocLoader.UploadDocument(strFile, binFile, strDestination);

    return (result);
       }
    }

  4. Create a Web Form, Win Form, or console application that will require a user to upload files.
     

  5. Call the UploadDocumentsToSharePoint method of the SharePointUploadHelper class, for example:
    protected void btnLoadFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    SharePointUploadHelper fh = new SharePointUploadHelper();
    string serverTempFilePath = Server.MapPath(@"/yourApplication");
            contentFileUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(serverTempFilePath);
            lblUploadResults.Text = fh.UploadDocumentsToSharePoint(serverTempFilePath);
        }

  6. Open the configuration file (i.e. Web.config) and turn on impersonation.
    <identity impersonate="true" />

  7. Add a configuration key that points to the SharePoint Document Library where you will upload files.
    <add key="SharePointDocLibrary" value="https://myServerName/myDocumentLibrary"/>

  8. Build your application

  9. Run and test the application, and there, a great web service.

I can tell you it works, just keep in mind the download is a code sample.

Enjoy!

-Erika

    Is this method appropriate for uploading large files (>20MB) into a Sharepoint DL?  I have tried this but do not think a web service is appropriate for large file uploads.  I think FTP would be better (but obviously you cannot use it to upload to a Sharepoint DL).

    The non-technical people may find WISDOM Explorer part of WISDOM Document Management Framework works well with the larger files.
    It also prompts for meta tags etc

    Thanks Erika.  Great hint.

    And in VP.net, that would be:

      Public Function UploadDocumentsToSharePoint(ByVal fileName As String) As String

         Dim svcDocLoader As DocumentLoader.SPFiles =  New DocumentLoader.SPFiles()
         svcDocLoader.PreAuthenticate = True
         svcDocLoader.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

         Dim strPath As String =  fileName
         Dim strFile As String =  strPath.Substring(strPath.LastIndexOf("&quot;) + 1)
         Dim strDestination As String =  _sharepointDocumentLibrary

         Dim fStream As FileStream =  New FileStream(strPath,System.IO.FileMode.Open)
         Dim binFile() As Byte =  New Byte(CType(fStream.Length) {}, 0)
         fStream.Read(binFile, 0, CType(fStream.Length, Integer))
         fStream.Close()
         Dim result As String =  svcDocLoader.UploadDocument(strFile,binFile,strDestination)

         Return (result)
      End Function

    Erika,

    I've tried to modify the code to use a string instead of a file.  I'm getting
    "Value does not fall within the expected range.Microsoft.SharePoint"

    Any ideas, or info on getting more about the error that's occuring?

    Thanks in advance...

    Bob and Karthik,

    I remember getting this error too. I am using a document library on the default site:

    <add key="SharePointDocLibrary" value="http://myserver/myDocLibrary"/>

    I have not tried using the service with document libraries inside sites, let me run some tests and I will let you know if I was able to make this work.

    Thanks Erika,

    Yes, I created a form lib off the default site and it works, but not off sub site doc libs.

    Also,  Any idea as to wether this will work with V3?

    And as CNatra asked, How can we handle versions?  I'll experiment with check out/in, but if you (Erika) know better.

    Or, can we get the source to the .dll and extend it?

    Turned out that adding the ability to support overwrite/versioning was as simple as modifying the spfiles.asmx.cs and changing the add method to use the override parameter.

    Still working on the issue of using a doc lib in a sub-site.

    Hi

    I installed the Web Service and could browse it. The service will be called by Metastorm e-Work. How can I authenticate the user from within the WebService and send the credentials to SharePoint if Metastorm e-Work only sends me the DomainNameUserName?

    Your help is highly appreciated.

    So,
    When this code executes, what do you see for the svcDocLoader?  

    Your app should have a web reference to the class, so make sure you read the instructions...

    DocumentLoader.SPFiles svcDocLoader = new DocumentLoader.SPFiles();

  • Anonymous
    July 14, 2006
    Thanks for your response. Im running pretty much your code inside a main method of a console app:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    DocumentLoader.SPFiles svcDocLoader = new DocumentLoader.SPFiles();
    svcDocLoader.PreAuthenticate = true;
    svcDocLoader.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    string strPath = "test.doc";
    string strFile = strPath.Substring(strPath.LastIndexOf("&quot;) + 1);
    string strDestination = "http://localhost/Shared Documents";

    FileStream fStream = new FileStream(strPath, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
    byte[] binFile = new byte[(int)fStream.Length];
    fStream.Read(binFile, 0, (int)fStream.Length);
    fStream.Close();
    string result = svcDocLoader.UploadDocument(strFile, binFile, strDestination);
    Console.WriteLine(result);
    }

    I have the web ref alright and when i access it through a browser i can see all the methods

    CheckIn
    CheckOut
    etc

    However, if i try to invoke any of them i get that error message:

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    at WSCheckOut.SPFiles.GetFile(string fileUrl)
    at WSCheckout.SPFiles.Checkout(String fileUrl)

    any ideas?

    Cheers again,

    Did you run the bat file to build/deploy the object from the MS site?  Perhaps you can send a screen shot of your solution explorer with the web reference expanded...  Just for giggles.

  • Anonymous
    July 14, 2006
    Also, are you able to debug?  If so, you can check to see if it's the WSCheckOut.SPFiles that is null, or the fileURL.

    July 14, 2006
    Yep i ran the bat file. However(here is the point where u start to say "ahha" i hear:) i changed:

    set CSC="%WINDIR%Microsoft.NetFrameworkv1.1.4322csc.exe"

    to

    set CSC="%WINDIR%Microsoft.NetFrameworkv2.0.50727csc.exe"

    and(drum roll)..

    set WSEDIR="%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%Microsoft SharedWeb Server Extensions60ISAPI"

    to

    set WSEDIR="%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%Microsoft SharedWeb Server Extensions12ISAPI"

    because im trying to implement this on wss v3.. which also has no bin directory by defualt in _vti_bin

    ill post a screen shot of my web refrence though when i can get into my webspace probably a few hours time.

    i really would love to be able to get this working in 3 if its possible

    Thanks again(and i hope ur not too mad that i was kind holding back on the v3 part;) thought it might make u runaway;)

    We're looking into a switch from our current document M system to wss and we're using the beta as a sandbox to bascially familirse are selves with wss and get some testing on document migration and customisation done.


    cheers yet again,
    Kevin

    No worries.  

    I will also be working on the v3 implementation of this...  I think it should work, as the wssv3 sdk indicates the methods used are available.

    Keep me posted as to your progress.

    July 14, 2006
    It looks like the Sharepoint_app_bin folder is where this should now go, as the STSSOAP.DLL has moved there.

    You may want to post to the Sharepoint v3 beta newsgroup to verify this...

    Brian, You can CALL this web service from a windows app.  In Visual Studio 2005 you create a web reference, initialize a variable of the type, set your credentials, and go. You cannot insert the code from the sample in a winform, because it needs to run in the context of SharePoint. Start by getting the service working as described and build out from there.

    Dear Damage, Yes, this does work for sub-sites.   Are you running on WSSv2 or v3?  The approach is a bit different for each.  Check out this link for details. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices.development/browse_frm/thread/37a2a5ef6d5dd86c/?hl=en# Here is some sample v3 code: fileUrl = fileUrl.ToLower();                if (fileUrl.Length > 0)                {                    ls_fileURL = fileUrl.Replace("http://", "").Replace("localhost/", "").Replace("my.wsssitename.com/", "");                    ls_fileURLParts = ls_fileURL.Split(new Char[] { '/' }); //, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries                    for (int i = 0; i < (ls_fileURLParts.Length - 2); i++)                    {                        // all but the last two elements ie "sites/EntContacts"                        if (ls_fileURLParts[i] == "") continue;                        ls_SourceSiteName = ls_SourceSiteName + "/" + ls_fileURLParts[i];                    }                    SPSite siteCollection = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context);                    SPWeb srcSite = siteCollection.AllWebs[ls_SourceSiteName];//"Source_Site_Name"];                    // Determine the Folder and File name                    //eg "EnterpriseContacts/Form5.xml";                    // The folder and file are the last two sections of the url.                    ls_SourceFolder = ls_fileURLParts[ls_fileURLParts.Length - 2] + "/" + ls_fileURLParts[ls_fileURLParts.Length - 1];                    SPFile srcFile = srcSite.GetFile(ls_SourceFolder);//"Source_Folder_Name/Source_File");

    Is there any way to debug a webservice, deployed on SharePoint V3 deployed on win 2003 machine, using .Net 2005? -> Generated the dll & pdb for the webservice. -> Copied the dll n the pdb to app_bin folder of my sharepoint site. Proj Settings": -> In PropertyPages - StartOptions -selected- "Dont Open a page. Wait for request from external application" -> In PropertyPages - StartOptions -selected- "UseCustomServer" and specified the site address that would be given in browser to get the site. While running the debugger I get following error - "Unable to start debugging on the web server. The web server is not configured correctly. see help for...." I see that in the web.config there is an element "<compilation batch="false" debug="false">". I am reluctant to change debug to "true" as it had led to site crash earlier. Would appreciate any pointers given to get me start debugging the webservice..

    You need to pursue the debugging.  If this is a production site, set up another stand-alone dev server for testing.

    Hello I am encountering a problem finding .asmx file. Here the SharePoint was installed recently but this server is in use by other departments. This is the 1st web application I'm trying out here. In IIS, Default website is set to Stop and a Test website contains all my projects although I don't remember creating one. There are 2 other websites

  1. SharePoint - 80(runs on port 80),
  2. SharePoint - 24184(runs on port 24184) Both these contain _vti_bin folders. I ran a setup that installed .asmx file in _vti_bin folder. Now I try to find that file but it is not in these _vti_bin folders. Could you please help me figure out what's wrong here? Struggling for the past half a day doing various permutations and combinations copying and pasting files.... Any help will be highly helpful Thanks Thamizh

    Gopala, I'm trying your code and cannot seem to get it working.                SPSite site = new SPSite("http://ussrm-wsf:25594/Docs/default.aspx");                SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();                //string col1 = "cheeseburger";                SPFolder objFolder = myWeb.GetFolder("IBM Reports");                string fileURL = fileName;                byte[] myFile = new byte[1000];                FileStream mystream = new System.IO.FileStream(strFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);                mystream.Read(myFile, 0, 1000);                mystream.Close();                SPFile file = folder.Files.Add(fileURL, fileContents, true);                SPListItem myitem = file.Item;                myitem["WSF2_ID"] = "xyz";                myitem.Update(); It uploads fine, but the custom fields are always blank. Did you have to do anything on the document library side for this to work?

    Hi everyone, I've been struggling for some days now trying to get this working on a secured SharePoint Server 2003. Here's the solution that worked for me.

  1. Change the credentials in the helperclass:   service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
  2. In the web.config file on the server change the trustlevel to:   <trust level="WSS_Medium" originUrl=".*" /> Just wanting to share this with you guys, might help you out.
