I'll have another crack at this some time and update with results but will
keep these cookies fresh in case anyone has any ideas!

Hello all,
tl;dr - need to push a BeanEditContext before AjaxUpload's upload event
and pop just afterwards.
I've been playing around with this;
https://gist.github.com/xfyre/83f82f6e5145ee041217
It appears to be based on Tawus' AjaxUpload component here;
https://github.com/tawus/tawus/tree/master/tawus-ajaxupload
The difference being the client-side scripts use a different library and
have been updated for 5.4's Require.js stuff.
When you select a file to upload, a server-side event entitled 'upload' is
triggered via XHR.
Unfortunately this doesn't play nice with my custom property blocks that
rely on accessing BeanEditContext through the environment.
BeanEditContext is pushed using FormSupport in components like
BeanEditForm - both for the duration of a form action and during render.
I've been toying around trying to figure out a way that I could push/pop
BeanEditContext before and after the upload event but have been failing
(hard) so far.
I was just wondering if anyone else may already have tackled this - any
ideas?
I was thinking about trying to intercept the upload event (couldn't find
anything that would let me do this - i.e.: a more generic FormSupport sort
of 'doohickey').
(For some background; I set up a data type and custom property block to
catch uploads of files related to my database layer; this is lovely - it
lets me generically handle create/update/display pushing/deleting files on
Amazon S3 and storing/replacing their metadata in the database. I'm using
Apache Cayenne - so the delete side of things is handled nicely by a
pre-removal event listener on that end. This works nicely for the standard
Upload component but when zones come into play, not so much. Enter
AjaxUpload component. This is for an inline-editable grid-type component I
use (click cell - reveal form+field - change - persist to database).
Thanks a ton!
Peter
