With a standard html form isn't very practical to upload several files, because you cannot do a multiple selection.
This java applet overcome to this problem and offers additional benefits like progress monitoring and stop/resume of the multiple upload.
To define the target server for the upload, you have to implement your own URLConnectionHandler
. An example is provided by the class eu.kostia.multifileuploader.DemoFtpURLConnectionHandler
.
Note that the jar must be signed, because we perform file system operation. This is done by the ant target sign.jar
.
This is a screenshot of the applet:
The rationale for this component is to simplify the upload process of the files that will be processed on a server where the Text-Analysis application runs.
