Random-ness-ish-ness: You could potentially toss in the Apache FileUpload project. I was talking with someone about this over the weekend.
It looks like you could just stick the needed code in a CFML page, CFML-ized from Java, and post the upload form to that CFML page and let it handle the upload. I suggested using the servlet approach-- you'd post your form to /uploads and then have CF check the uploads directory for file completion, or hack up the servlet to ping a CFM page when the state of the upload changes. Theoretically, you could test the basic premise out pretty easy by just using a JSP example of FileUpload, as CF can run JSP pages without much fuss, IIRC. It appears that Railo uses FileUpload under the hood, I haven't checked but I think Adobe uses something else. Could be wrong tho. http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/ Here's an example JSP that might get you going (using the servlet is probably easiest tho): http://www.developershome.com/wap/wapUpload/wap_upload.asp?page=jsp3 It looks like the FileUpload library can tell you how much has been uploaded, as it's uploading, potentially allowing for an accurate progress bar, too! Just a thought. :Den -- We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
