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
