Hello Nick,

I run webserver 3.0 on solaris and have being attempting the same thing with some success. Oracle provide a cartridge to do this in the documentation, which uses the content services API, called docserv. If you look at this code you can either write your own cartridge or compile it up as it stands as a good example of how to do it. The cartridge writes a form to the client browser with the

<form ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data

tags and uploads documents to a user account on your database called CONTENT. The upload part works fine, however, when downloading Word fails to open some files. Oracle have a bug logged against this at the moment.

Alternative is to use the Oracle Government replacement owa, as this has this enhancement as well as some others. It is designed for Webserver 2.1 I believe, but I think it will work with 3 as well with some tweaking.

More details on thier website. Received on Fri Dec 12 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
