Get the response back from server as an object from file upload

[sreenivas]

Hi Geeks,

I am able upload the file to the server and construct the object that is required from file contents , but I am not getting how to send this object back to the client which invoked upload function. My service method is public void service(httpRequest, httpResponse). How can i send this object back to the client. Can somebody please help?

Thanks,
Sreenivas

File upload is a servlet, not an RPC call. As such all it can return is html/text.

In my applications, I store the File object or whatever object I parsed the file into in a session attribute. The servlet returns "OK" from a successful file upload or a text error message--maybe an Exception message--to my client. The SubmitComplete method reads the string. If it's "OK" I call an RPC method to retrieve the object.

So, You say it is not possible to return object to the same client in the same call where we are calling for file upload? you are saying after file successful submission, again i need to make another RPC call to get the object back constructed from file contents, is it? But the problem is i have several hosts as server. I submit form to one host and when i want to retrieve the file contents to create my object through an RPC call, I may hit other host, which returns file not found exception, as it is trying to do RPC call on other host. How to resolve this then?
