org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.UploadContentServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig

public class UploadContentServlet
extends BaseServlet

Servlet responsible for streaming content directly into the repository from the PUT request. The appropriate mimetype is calculated based on filename extension.

The URL to the servlet should be generated thus:

/alfresco/upload/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000/myfile.pdf

or

/alfresco/upload/myfile.pdf

If the store and node id are specified in the URL then the content provided will be streamed onto the node using an updating writer, updating the content property value accordingly.

If only the file name is specified the content will be streamed into the content store and the content data will be returned in the reposonse. This can then be used to update the value of a content property manually. Any used content will be cleared up in the usual manner.

By default, the download assumes that the content is on the content property.
To set the content of a specific model property, use a 'property' arg, providing the qualified name of the property.

Like most Alfresco servlets, the URL may be followed by a valid 'ticket' argument for authentication: ?ticket=1234567890

Guest access is currently disabled for this servlet.
