Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Some files uploaded using the Upload Component of the IBM JSF Widgets Library (JWL) from a Portlet application are corrupted and fail to be opened in the server. Specifically, extensions docx, pptx and xlsx are known to present this problem. The uploaded file size will be two bytes longer than the original one. This issue is only present on a Portlet application. Simple JSF applications using the JWL library won't corrupt the mentioned files.
Problem conclusion
The issue has been fixed, it was caused by a logic and encoding problem in earlier versions of JWL. The encoding and headers of the uploaded data can be different for a Dynamic web Project and a Portlet. The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application Developer v7.5.5.5 iFix1.
Temporary fix
