Have you checked out the possiblitity to use Job agents? They can be used to execute any plug-in on a different server. See http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/trunk/html/admindoc/plugin_installation/plugins.jobagents.html for more information. > In order to download the files (cel and cdf) over http, i need the to > retrieve the URL's. > Can somebody tell me how to get this? The file URL depends on the sesssion ID of the logged in user. Plug-ins are executed in a different session with a different ID, so I am not sure it will work since the web server may know about the session ID used by the plug-in. It is not possible for the plug-in to get the session ID for the user. In fact, the user may already have logged out before the plug-in is executed. I think it is better if your plug-in call File.getDownloadStream() and copies the file to the machine where you are going to run the analysis program. > In the documentation i found that all files have method "getLocation". > But it is not mentioned what kind of location this is. > Also the code of this method did not tell me more. This method can return 3 different values: OFFLINE, PRIMARY and SECONDARY. If it returns OFFLINE the file is not stored at all on the BASE server. The SECONDARY location is a backup location and the file can't be accessed. You should check that the getLocation() method returns PRIMARY or you can't use the file. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
