I am planning on having asynchronous file uploads. That is the file should be uploaded to a jsp or servlet and return something to the html/jsp page without reloading the original page. It should happen like an AJAX call. Is there any way to do it in AJAX or any other way to do it.
This question is related to
javascript
ajax
jsp
file-upload
forms
The two common approaches are to submit the form to an invisible iframe, or to use a Flash control such as YUI Uploader. You could also use Java instead of Flash, but this has a narrower install base.
(Shame about the layout table in the first example)
The latest dwr (http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/index.html) has ajax file uploads, complete with examples and nice stuff for users (like progress indicators and such).
It looks pretty nifty and dwr is fairly easy to use in general so this will be pretty good as well.
