User file uploads

[Peter Flynn <pf...@ucc.ie>]

I have a requirement for some of my users to upload documents to a 
Cocoon server. The files need to be managed by Apache and Tomcat 
afterwards, so using FTP/sftp won't work because those files will be 
owned by the user's userid, and I'd prefer not to start messing with the 
groups.

There are a gazillion upload scripts in PHP, Java, Flash, Perl, etc, but 
before I reinvent any wheels, does anyone know of an upload facility 
written for a Cocoon server?

Cocoon does have upload handling facilities.  There are a couple, but last
time I needed to manage uploads, I used the *upload://formField* source,
which seemed to work well.  I believe that there's an example if you check
out the source and build the sample webapp.  Look in:
