Hi Rob,

assuming your imported files are text-based (not binary such as Excel), I think you would be better off with doing a stand-along teamwork:ImportPlugin instead of being restricted by the design decisions of the scriptBasedImporters. The SWP servlet will recognize file uploads and assign the file contents to normal string arguments. From there you can do whatever you like, including using the various sml:ExportToXY module (e.g. sml:ExportToTextFile) to save the contents to a local file in the workspace. Doing your own ImportPlugin would allow you to make arbitrary design choices, for example to support either file uploads or URL references.

To modify existing importers, the closest I could think of is to define teamwork:EditRules. These are executed at the end of each transaction and would enable you to make further changes to the RDF.

This relates to the original thread heading - as it has only been partially covered:

AFAICT teamwork:scriptBasedFileImport relies on an uploaded file via a multipart form encoding

it has a bunch of moving parts as an importer - a plugin, UI page, a service and finally the tag that does the work - all related by code inside prototypes. The code for this tag doesnt seem visible - does that mean there is an import needed - or is it picking up a java function by reflection?

I'd like to add the option of saving the input file and referencing it.  If it has a URI location I would rather save this and make the importer fetch it.  Maybe the EDG Corpora is an appropriate intermediatary data store for the raw data - it has load from URI importers.

So I guess I need two pieces of info I cannot find in docs (and maybe because these mode are not supported): 1) how best to save a file via the Corpus importers programattically - i'd rather not have to chain a second multi-part-form call to the service inside my custom importer
2) how to inject some pre- and post-processing into existing EDG importers

(at the moment, it seems like the only option is to clone and hack each of the moving parts  and then attach this via the ProjectType? )
