[Xsltforms-support] applet-based local save/load using file://

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Alain,

Using RC3 from 2011-02-27, I tried getting the applet-based saving and 
loading but I must have missed something as I am getting this message 
when I either try to load or save:

XSLTForms Submission
---------------------------

file://

file:// is not supported for security reasons.

Contents copied instead in clipboard if possible
and displayed by the browser.

In the model, I used

<xf:submission id="save" method="put" replace="none" action="file://">
<xf:message level="modeless" ev:event="xforms-submit-error">Submit
error.</xf:message>
</xf:submission>
<xf:submission id="load" method="get" serialization="none"
replace="instance" action="file://">
<xf:message level="modeless" ev:event="xforms-submit-error">Submit
error.</xf:message>
</xf:submission>

and in the form I have:

<xf:submit submission="save">
<xf:label>Save to local disk</xf:label>
</xf:submit>
<xf:submit submission="load">
<xf:label>Restore from local disk</xf:label>
</xf:submit>

What must I be doing wrong this time :)?

Thank you.

Rgards,
Andre

Hello,

I have added"file://"  support in submission allowing users to save and
restore data instances on local disk with regular files.

This is based on a Java applet. There are some integrated security
restrictions such as forbidden file extensions (.exe,...) and maximum
size (100 Mo). BOM is not yet supported.

Each time, a Java file dialog is displayed to allow the user to select
the folder and to enter the file shortname. This dialog is initialized
with the path after"file://", if any.

I have tested this successfully on Windows with FireFox, IE and Chrome
(there were some errors before accepting the applet, maybe wait
instructions (1 or 2 seconds) might help...) but it doesn't work yet
with Opera. Please find my test case below.

Thank you for your feedbacks!

-Alain
