Hi Ted,
With the caveat that I don’t use ERAttachment in a D2W setting...

I think you might be barking up the wrong tree. ERAttachment is really designed
to represent a single file. (For example, the ERAttachment EO itself has
attributes like size, thumbnail, width, height, mimeType.) You might be able to
beat it into your use case, but there’s probably a better way of doing it.

As a separate question, you can certainly do this. But you’d need to forget
about using a component that automatically creates an ERAttachment, and use one
of the regular upload components, like AjaxFlexibleFileUpload. You can then
grab the InputStream provided by that component and do whatever you like with
it. You can even later create ERAttachments from your post-processed files.
So, the summary is: I don’t think you’re going to win by trying to make an
ERAttachment point to a filesystem directory, but everything else you’re
talking about is completely possible.
