CvrK How to add upload document functionality on a VF page(webform) ?
Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement to display different fieldsets after rerender based on its respective picklist value selection by user in the field called Request Type.
After clicking save(saverequest custom method to save records) one record in Case Object and one in Custom Obj (Functional_Request__c) should be created along with an attached document(document should go into document object),now my records are saving in objects but i am unable to provide upload and download functionality to my webforms.
Note: The upload option shoud be enabled/available to users only for the 1st Select option and download option for the 3rd option out of 3 options and currently there are unused variable and methods in the cotroller, i left it in as they are,thought it gets easier for anyone of you to help me.
I have tried the steps from below links but no luck,i wonder it is because i have custom save method to save records and may not be close to my use case.

There are a few things you need to do in order to have that file upload capability, and a few things to watch out for. The mechanics of it are pretty straightforward. Just use an <apex:inputFile> tag on the visualForce page, and tie it to an Attachment variable in your controller. Something like:
<!-- VisualForce --> <apex:inputFile id="elementId" fileName="{!ControllerVariable.Name}" value="{!ControllerVariable.Body}" /> /* Controller */ Public without sharing class Provisional_Request_ctrl extends WSitesController public Attachment ControllerVariable { get { if(ControllerVariable == null) //Ensure that you don't try to dereference a null document { return new Attachment(); } else return ControllerVariable; } set; }That's all the code you need to get a document upload up and running in VF. In your case, you need to attach it to a case as well. Since the ControllerVariable is already an Attachment, at a minimum all you need to set is the parentId. You can set the other fields you need, description, owner, private, etc), and then insert.
A couple caveats though. File size can be a big issue when doing this. I see that you're not using an <apex:form> element, so I don't believe you'll have to worry about viewstate size. That said, I would make sure you test it out with an impossibly large file for the use case just to make sure nothing strange happens. If your files are over 5mb, you might need to use a different method.
Another thing to watch out for is the <apex:inputFile> tag does not disable when an upload is in progress. By default, there is nothing preventing your users from clicking the save button over and over and sending extra saveRequests. A quick solution to that is add a state variable. Something like:
/* Controller Variables */ boolean uploadInProgress = false; /* Start of save request function */ uploadInProgress = true; if(uploadInProgress) return; /* ... rest of the function .. */ uploadInProgress = false;That's maybe not the right solution for your needs, but it's a quick way to prevent multiple uploads. Unfortunately, you can't use certain components' reRender function if you're using an <apex:inputFile> element, so you can't actually grey out the button and prevent users from clicking on it without some extra work. Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Austin
