Insert exisisting pdf from presentation server to webdynpro in background.

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I have to integrate an existing pdf from presentation server to webdynpro. I 've already create a view with only an element like interactive form and binding from context an attribute type xstring. Using FileUpload I can pass the attribute to context that contain the xstring.The question is that I have to do like a fileupload in background, is it possible?

Thank's a lot

No it is not possible to do a file upload in the background. In the background there is no connection to the client machine, so no way to read the file from the user's desktop. Only way background upload would be possible is if the file is on some sort of public file share that is also accessible to the application server. Then you could read the file as though it were on the application server file system with the ABAP DATASET commands.
