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
