Thanks - that looks great.
I think maybe a system like this to upload to a local filestore and
then something like Jets3t ( http://jets3t.s3.amazonaws.com/
index.html ) to synchronise the local file store with S3 would be
perfect. The only remaining thing would be some way to generate the
correct URL depending on whether or not the file had been deployed to
S3 yet or not. And possibly some way to only publish the file to S3
when the node was published to a public magnolia instance. hmmm.
If I end up doing this I'll post any results back on the wiki.
thanks again for the help.

the second one - magnolia has a nice file upload infrastructure
already handling multipart forms
the following code gets rthe file and puts it somewhere else
MultipartForm form = (MultipartForm)
(request.getAttribute("multipartform"));
if(form != null)
{
InputStream is =
form.getDocument("files").getStream();
fileName = System.currentTimeMillis()
+"_"+form.getDocument("files").getFileNameWithExtension();
file = path+"/"+fileName;
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len = is.read(buffer);
while(len > 0)
{
os.write(buffer, 0, len);
len = is.read(buffer);
}
os.close();
}

Do you mean that the file upload has to be done separately (outside
magnolia) and then you create a node that references the file from
within magnolia? If so, that's pretty much what we used to do
before we started using S3+Cloudfront (which we now use instead of
straight apache because it makes for a very cost effective content
delivery network).
Or do you mean that you've written a page that allows users to
upload directly to the file system from within magnolia, then
automatically creates the reference node?

We go a different route for that - we just use a regular page
where one can upload a file and just create a node with a
reference to the file but store the file somewhere on the file
system where it can be directly served from apache.

Has anyone tried to set up a system whereby the DMS uses Amazon
S3 to store and serve files?
I have a site that currently uses Magnolia for managing most of
it, but has quite a lot of movie content - the movie files are up
to 600mb in size, and need to stream smoothly, hence I currently
use Amazon S3 storage + Cloudfront content delivery network. The
solution works pretty well, but the problem is that there's no
way to manage the movie files from within Magnolia, which makes
uploading and changing movies complex, time consuming and error
prone.
Is there any way to change the back end file system used by the
DMS to use S3 (or something similar)?
My idea would be that the DMS would keep metadata about files in
the database, but actually store the files on S3 (perhaps with a
local master copy too, just so that everything is in one place
for migrations etc). When a file was requested it would return
the S3 URL for the file so it would be served directly from
Amazon through their content delivery network.
