Upload file using Connect Pro API in java

Hi,

I am struggling to upload a file to connect pro using Java. I pass in filename to the program using shell script as
./uploadFile.sh c:/test.jpg

this invokes my java main class called uploadFile where I create session and login to the server. I get the sco-id for the target folder and then call uploadSco(File file) where I pass in a file instance of that file. I am getting response as below.
<results>
<status code="invalid">
<invalid field="file" type="string" subcode="missing"/>
</status>
</results>

Can any one give me some hints or sample code to do this?

Thanks.

Re: Upload file using Connect Pro API in java

Looks like I am not making any sense with my question.

I am just not sure how to upload a file using the the API from java program. I do not have a form to upload a file. I am calling this program from a shell script as mentioned. I pass the file absolute path and then create a file object from that filename. But now, I need to do two things. I need to call the API with sco-upload action. I pass in the param as below
http://hostname/api/xml?action=sco-upload&sco-id=43348&file=C:\contents\com.jpg&session=breezipyugcyv6h9452ux

I open the connection as
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
int i;
while ((i = bis.read()) != -1 ) {
    bos.write(i);
}
Document doc = new SAXBuilder(false).build(conn.getInputStream()); // to get the response
Element element = doc.getRootElement();

Every time I get error message
<results>
     <status code="invalid">
          <invalid field="file" type="string" subcode="format"/>
      </status>
</results>

Am I doing this right? Am I missing something. Can anyone help? if you need more clarification please let me know. Thanks.
