Which version of Roller do you want to do this with? There are a
couple of ways you can do this: you can write a servlet or a Struts
action to handle posting of an entry from external app. Either way,
you can use static factory methods in RollerRequest and RollerContext
to obtain references to those objects. Use RollerFactory.getRoller()
to get at Roller object which is the main entry point into business
logic tier. SInce Roller 2.0 there is RollerConfig object. You can
call RollerConfig.getProperty("uploads.dir") to get the path where
images are stored.
Look in org.roller.xmlrpc for example on creating entry from request
params. Look in UploadFileFormAction and/or FileManagerImpl for
example of how file uploads are handled. Roller uses commons-
fileupload library to parse multipart form data which is what you
should use as well.
Hope this helps,

* Retrieve context variables so I can place the uploaded images or

I assume that document.weblogEntryFormEx.getCategory() will return
the category of the blog being edited.
* Parse multipart mime and save attached files (I wish...). Does
Roller have a feature by which non-html parts of a multipart editor
output can be saved to the upload directory and the body saved
normally? Or, do I need to write a script that will accept the
content, parse it out, pass the html part to
document.weblogEntryFormEx.text.value and decode/save the non-html
parts to the upload directory?
* Does the /resources context include the blog category
(~tomcat_user/roller_data/uploads/sandbox for the "sandbox" blog) ,
or is it the "top-level" resources directory ~tomcat_user/
roller_data/uploads ? The BlogJet client had a fully qualified url
when posting a local image to the rollertech blog: http://
blogs.tribley.us/roller/resources/rollertech/BlogJet_account.jpg
What is a little painful about this is that BlogJet has a local
upload feature, just like the Sferyx editor. BlogJet uses the
blogger api to seamlessly upload the message and put the files in
an upload directory. All the urls are properly rewritten. I am
looking for some similar way to use this editor. If I have to call
the blogger api (don't know if I can from the jsp page that handles
the editor...) it will mean parsing out the multipart mime,
restating it in xml and sending it to the api, which seems a bit
backward.
If I crack this one I will post it, others may need a slick editor.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bill
Current jsp to fire up the editor:
