Subject: [xwiki-devs] Integrating Java Swing components with Xwiki

Hello Devs,
This is regarding the capability to upload Multiple files at a time to
Xwiki.
I understand that currently the attach functionality is rendered using
HTML.
The HTML file upload control does not allow mutliple files to be
selected/uploaded at one time.
Hence, I looked the JFileChooser component of Java Swing. I can write a
Class that brings up a JFileChooser object and allow multiple selections
at
once.
But, I am not sure how to integrate this functionality with Xwiki ,
Velocity is a scripting language to render web pages where as swing
component is a desktop based application, unless swing components are
embedded inside an applet
especially with the Velocity templates (which are used to render the
pages).
Few Questions:
1) in order to achieve this, do I need to create a velocity template that
will render the fileChooser on the XWiki page ?
No I don't think velocity can render JFileChooser
2) If yes, how do I accomplish this? create a new
"action" and then write
the render and action methods for that?
3) If no, what are my other options to achieve this?
Try to look for ajax components which achieve the the same functionality as
JFileChooser
Please guide me.
Thanks
