Hi,
I have just found what the problem is. It is to do with the handling of
the parameter values in the plugin code, so it's nothing to do with the
JSP page or the type of inputs as such.
In the getRequestInformation() method of the plugin you have to do the
following:
StringParameterType stringPT = new StringParameterType(255, null, true);
zipFile = new PluginParameter<String>("zipFile", " Zip file", "Contains
raw data files", stringPT);
...but I was trying to handle the parameter from the JSP page as a File
type (it came from a file chooser), and it doesn't like that:
FileParameterType filePT = new FileParameterType();
zipFile = new PluginParameter<File>("zipFile", " Zip file", "Contains
raw data files", filePT);
So as long as all parameters are handled as Strings, everyone is
happy.....
I just tried it with a select box and that worked too, so presumably all
the other input types are fine too.
Cheers
Micha
