Thanks. I'd looked at the DevGuide document before and been none the wiser, but it's just dawned on me that the example code is JavaScript (I'd assumed Groovy or Velocity), so XWiki.File Upload must be a JS library function. Sometimes it's hard to know what things are XWiki magic and what's basic website programming. Thanks for the single origin link. Looks like I can set the origin to the common suffix of my two servers. ----- Reply message ----- From: "Marius Dumitru Florea" <[email protected]> To: "XWiki Users" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Using HTML5 File Upload Widget for non-XWiki files Date: Thu, Nov 13, 2014 20:56 See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/HTML5Upload for how to use the file upload widget inside XWiki. Note that if you want to submit the file to a different server you will hit the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy problem. Also note that the file upload widget uses the native File Upload API provided by the browser. Read more about it here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_files_from_web_applications .

I'd like to upload files through a custom File Upload servlet that runs from the same Tomcat server but is not part of XWiki. This servlet does some file processing and stores the file in a separate area away from the XWiki attachments, and it's possible that eventually this servlet might be moved to another server as processing demands change.

Is it possible to make use of the supplied XWiki UI widgets to upload to this servlet? Any guidance on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
