I started testing with other browsers and noticed a problem. All of the current crop of browsers seems to work fine on my upload using a standard looking GWT form but IE8 uploads, the onSubmitComplete fires and regardless of what I do IE hangs up. Since IE8 has around 12% of the browser market

I finally got back to the upload function and started trying to get it to work... I'm using VB.Net WebClient to try to talk to my upload server to get an upload URL and I keep getting a 'null' return. Do I need to make that call using XMLRPC or something similar? It works just fine from my

I used a servlet to spit out an upload URL in plain text. If its unsecure, you could just type a get request into the url and it should render a url in a format that you could grab. It could be any content type you like. I used a plain text (unsecure) servlet to render the url in plain text (for

I think I'm going to end up going to the Datastore after the file is uploaded. I need to store the whole file as a unit under the user id and the file name. I don't want to break it down because that will make it more difficult to read for my purposes. -- You received this message because you

Thanks for that link... I took a look but I don't think that model really applies to my case here. I'm wondering if just uploading the files and pushing them into the Datastore as a piece of text with the key being the user id and file type may be simpler? Anyone have any thoughts on the

There is a 1MB limit for entities in the datastore so if your data fits within that limit than the datastore is a good option. My app stores all its data in the datastore including videos, audio files, images, pdf's, etc. I started it before the blobstore existed. So, if your data is greater than

Stephen, thanks for the information! I had started to put the text into a Datastore but somehow the Blobstore looked easier to deal with. I'll revisit the datastore idea. I don't have to worry about breaking the data up since these files are never more than 32K in size and that is an extreme

If your data is never more than 32K in size then the datastore is definitely the way to go. Way easier and simpler IMHO. On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 10:30 AM, GeorgeS sxoutt...@gmail.com wrote: Stephen, thanks for the information! I had started to put the text into a Datastore but somehow the

What I do with files is upload, then I redirect the new blobkey to a servlet, which then does the things I need it to. I've used the mapper lib, but if I'm going to be processing anything, I'll stick it in a task which gives up to 10 minutes per task I'll poll a from GWT client and see when the
