B4J Question Multipart response

[narek adonts]

Hi,

With HttpJob I am able to send Multipart and receive it with B4J jServer getMultipartData.

I want to response also with MultiPartData.

How can I achieve this?

Why do you want to use this format for the server response?

You can manually implement it like done in the client size.

I am using jServer as a server for my social networking app instead of using TCP server.

In server side there is a Part object which is absent in Client side.

I don't recommend you to use this format unless you must (for example if you want to support file uploads from a browser).

There are many simpler and more efficient protocols. You can use JSON for example.

I am sending files from iOS to Jetty and versa with some parameters so its done easely with postmultipart.
Why you dont recomend? Is there a performance issue?

If the files are small then performance will be fine. Multipart requests are less efficient as the file is encoded as base 64 string.

I would instead create a simple handler that receives the file as the POST payload and sends any required parameters in the URL.
