Servlet for converting documents
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Build preparation:
|
|
==================
|
|
In the file "ConverterServlet.html", search for the following line:
|
|
<form action="http://localhost:8080/conversion/servlet/ConverterServlet" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
|
|
Replace the existing IP address (localhost) with your intended IP address.
|
|
|
|
Installation instructions:
|
|
==========================
|
|
1. If no web server is available you should install your favourite web server.
|
|
The example was tested with a Tomcat 4.1 server (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/)
|
|
2. Download the servlet support Java archive (cos.jar) from
|
|
http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html and copy the file to the directory
|
|
<OFFICE_HOME>/program/classes. If you don't use the created WAR (WAR = simple web archive file, it
|
|
is similar to a normal Jar file) file, please make these classes also known to your web server.
|
|
3. You need also the Servlet API (servlet.jar). The Tomcat server comes with this Servlet API. Please
|
|
copy the file "servlet.jar" to the directory <OFFICE_HOME>/program/classes.
|
|
If you don't use the Tomcat server, make sure that the Servlet API is in the classpath of your web
|
|
server. You can download the Servlet API from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html .
|
|
4. Use your GNU make (http://www.gnu.org) to build the servlet class.
|
|
5. Make the servlet class known to your web server.
|
|
The example creates also a WAR file which can be easy deployed in a Tomcat server.
|
|
5.1 Browse the 'Tomcat Web Application Manager'
|
|
5.2 Navigate into the section 'Upload a WAR file to install'
|
|
5.3 Browse to your generated WAR file and select it
|
|
5.4 install it
|
|
|
|
|
|
Converting documents with the servlet:
|
|
======================================
|
|
1. Browse your web server "http://<your_ip>/conversion/ConverterServlet.html" or
|
|
open the file "ConverterServlet.html" in your web browser and select a file.
|
|
2. Select a type to convert the file to, and the extension for the converted file.
|
|
3. Press the button. The document will be uploaded to the server, converted and
|
|
pushed back to the client. Your browser will open a dialog for saving the
|
|
converted document.
