1. Download last version of the library: gwtupload-x.x.x.jar and include it in your classpath.
2. Add these libraries to your application: commons-fileupload-1.2.jar, commons-io-1.3.1.jar and log4j.jar
3. Edit your module file: Xxx.gwt.xml.
<module>
<!-- Include GWTUpload library -->
<inherits name="gwtupload.GWTUpload"/>
<!-- Load dinamically predefined styles in the library when the application starts -->
<stylesheet src="Upload.css"/>
<!-- Change this line with your project's entry-point -->
<entry-point class="package.Xxx"/>
</module>
4. Edit your web.xml and include your customized servlet (extending ActionUpload and overriding executeAction). Be aware that the servlet provided depends on these libraries: commons-fileupload, commons-io and log4j, so include them in your package.
<context-param>
<!-- max size of the upload request -->
<param-name>maxSize</param-name>
<param-value>3145728</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<!-- Useful in development mode to slow down the uploads in fast networks.
Put the number of milliseconds to sleep in each block received in the server.
false or 0, means don't use slow uploads -->
<param-name>slowUploads</param-name>
<param-value>200</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>uploadServlet</servlet-name>
<!-- This is the default servlet, it puts files in session -->
<servlet-class>xxxxx.server.servlet.UploadServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>uploadServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/xxx/upload</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
5. Create your client application
public class MultipleUploadSample implements EntryPoint {
// A panel where the thumbnails of uploaded images will be shown
private FlowPanel panelImages = new FlowPanel();
public void onModuleLoad() {
// Attach the image viewer to the document
RootPanel.get("thumbnails").add(panelImages);
// Create a new uploader panel and attach it to the document
MultiUploader defaultUploader = new MultiUploader();
RootPanel.get("default").add(defaultUploader);
// Add a finish handler which will load the image once the upload finishes
defaultUploader.addOnFinishUploadHandler(onFinishUploaderHandler);
}
// Load the image in the document and in the case of success attach it to the viewer
private IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler onFinishUploaderHandler = new IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler() {
public void onFinish(IUploader uploader) {
if (uploader.getStatus() == Status.SUCCESS) {
new PreloadedImage(uploader.fileUrl(), showImage);
// The server sends useful information to the client by default
UploadedInfo info = uploader.getServerInfo();
System.out.println("File name " + info.name);
System.out.println("File content-type " + info.ctype);
System.out.println("File size " + info.size);
// You can send any customized message and parse it
System.out.println("Server message " + info.message);
}
}
};
// Attach an image to the pictures viewer
private OnLoadPreloadedImageHandler showImage = new OnLoadPreloadedImageHandler() {
public void onLoad(PreloadedImage image) {
image.setWidth("75px");
panelImages.add(image);
}
};
}
6. create your customized servlet
