AJAX FileUpload using Dojo and Apache Commons FileUpload Libraries...

This week I have been working on an asynchronous file upload JSF component. I will be writing an article on the process at a later date, but to help others sooner, rather than later, here is a little relevant info.

A good blog about the process is written by Alex Russel entitled File uploading with Dojo. Alex's blog talks about using a IFrameIO to transport the formNode asynchronously without a page refresh. We are using the Dojo method on our web client and using the Apache Commons FileUpload libraries on the server. These libraries will be encapsulated into a customer JSF component to facilitate reuse and distributed in a future release of the Java BluePrints JavaEE5 BPCatalog, deployable on the Glassfish AppServer.

The purpose for this blog is to publicize an example of the Dojo FileUpload methodology. It took me a little while to get a working prototype and I found this example shortly thereafter.

Hope this helps - Mark Posted by basler Jan 11 2006, 07:05:35 PM PST Permalink
