Hi Mirjam
Yes, this should be possible.
When you look at the interface IRemoteFileService, you will notice the method declaration
@RemoteServiceAccessDenied
void putRemoteFile(RemoteFile spec) throws ProcessingException;
and indeed, this method will allow you to store a RemoteFile on the server. Well, at least if you call this service method on the server itself. It is not allowed to call this method directly from the client -- note the RemoteServiceAccessDenied annotation. (You will get a SecurityException, if you try to do so.)
The reason for this restriction probably are security and/or performance considerations. Before you upload any file to your server from the client, you should do a thorough input validation on the file content and restrict the file size, etc.
That said, you can easily expose the method to the client by defining your own service and simply delegate to the existing implementation of the RemoteFileService to do the work.
Sample Code
Service interface in shared bundle. Register it as a proxy service on client side.
public interface IUploadService extends IService {
void storeFile(RemoteFile file) throws ProcessingException;
}
Service implementation in server bundle.
public class UploadService extends AbstractService implements IUploadService {
@Override
public void storeFile(RemoteFile file) throws ProcessingException {
SERVICES.getService(IRemoteFileService.class).putRemoteFile(file);
}
}
You can now use this service on client side, e.g. to upload a file chosen by the user.
public class UploadForm extends AbstractForm {
// GUI code omitted
public class ModifyHandler extends AbstractFormHandler {
@Override
public void execLoad() throws ProcessingException {
getFileField().setTypeLoad(true); // FileField extends AbstractFileChooserField
}
@Override
public void execStore() throws ProcessingException {
File file = getFileField().getValueAsFile();
if (file != null) {
// TODO thorough input validation (file size, content etc.)
// all files are stored in subfolder "fileStore", relative to the root folder of the RemoteFileService
RemoteFile remoteFile = new RemoteFile("fileStore", file.getName(), file.lastModified());
try {
remoteFile.readData(file); // read actual file content
}
catch (IOException e) {
throw new ProcessingException("Error while reading file.", e);
}
IUploadService uploadService = SERVICES.getService(IUploadService.class);
uploadService.storeFile(remoteFile);
}
}
}
}
