Class HTTPSaver

java.lang.Object
  com.qoppa.pdfNotes.HTTPSaver

All Implemented Interfaces:

IPDFSaver

public class HTTPSaver
extends Object
implements IPDFSaver

This class implements a custom IPDFSaver to save a file to a URL, using the standard HTTP POST file upload protocol. The intent is to use this class when running jPDFNotes in an applet within a browser. By setting the PDFNotesBean saver to use this class, the documents will be saved back to a web server, normally the web server from where the document was loaded.

To use the class, the host application must let the PDFNotesBean object to use an instance of this object as a custom saver by calling:

notesBean.setPDFSaver (new HTTPSaver (saveURL));

On the web server, there needs to be a script to receive the file. The script can be in any language, including PHP, Java Servlet, ASP or ASP.NET, as long as it supports receiving standard file upload HTTP POST messages. You can find sample scripts on our website.
