SWFUpload library for GWT
Hello, I wanted to gauge interest in a GWT interface to using SWFUpload (http://www.swfupload.org/). While work continues on GWT support for file uploads using Gears, I need a more compatible and short term solution to a problem that's come up. I also feel that having more than one option is good practice to ensure compatibility with the most number of users. I'm currently putting this together for my own needs but I wanted to see if anyone else in the community would be interested in helping to complete this. The SWFUpload javascript library is around 30KB and and the associated flash control is 11KB. It's also recently had support added to work around the new security restrictions in flash player 10 (which is what has forced me to scrap my own implementation and move to this one). My goal is a nice GWT wrapper to make it very simple to drop into any existing GWT app. To my knowledge no such thing exists yet (please speak up if you know of one).

Re: SWFUpload library for GWT
While I appreciate your efforts: We recently were faced with a requirement with multiple file upload. After lot of research and trying out swfupload we concluded that the best approach(for now) is using gears Desktop api for this purpose. swfupload had huge problems with flash 10 release. Basically adobe decided to change the way multiple file upload is handled for security reasons. In my experience there is no silver bullet as far as multiple file upload functionality is concerned. Nothing against swfupload, it is a great library in its own rights. But flash in my experience is not reliable/credible enough for this specific purpose. People might vary in opinion and I totally respect it.

Re: SWFUpload library for GWT
Hi, I know the issue you are referring to. There is a beta release of SWFUpload which addresses the problem. I do agree that Gears is superior. In fact I have contributed to the Google API library support for uploads/blobs as a GWT library. =D It will hopefully be available soon (though the schedule is completely out of my hands). But in the mean time we need to keep a flash option working...

Re: SWFUpload library for GWT
Thanks for the tip... but this looks to me to be pretty tightly tied to GWT-Ext. I'm building a more one-to-one direct mapping of the SWFUpload library into Java equivelents. You could then use it to make more sophisticated tools but the idea is that it wouldn't be tied into any particular widget set.
