Step 6 – Respond Back to the Client
Creating the Script
Data Island
Automatic Upload
The XML data can be sent back by itself, or as part of a larger HTML page.
Normally, the bare-bones XML shown above is all that is returned, since it is all
the editor looks at.
But, if you are using a CMS that displays the resulting data, you may want to
return a complete HTML page. If you want to look sophisticated, include this data
island on a page with a table to display the data. See Also: ”Data Island” on
page 471
Here’s a practical example of how to create the script.
1. Implement a page that logs every receipt of an HTTP post (to a text file, for
example).
2. Configure WIFX to upload to this page. For example, if you create a page at
the path /postacceptor/WebForm1.aspx, set the following in the
ImageEditConfig.xml file.
3. Try to upload from WIFX.
4. Check the page’s log to confirm that WIFX hit it. Note that WIFX returns an
error even if this works properly because the page doesn’t yet return the
proper XML packet.
5. After confirming that WIFX is hitting the page, change it slightly to loop
through all posted form fields and log their values.This lets you see exactly
what information WIFX is posting.
6. Write the code needed to produce the XML packet. See Also: ”Step 5 – Build
the Return XML Data” on page 469
7. Set the page to return an XML packet with dummy values. These should take
care of the WIFX error message and display a message like Upload
Successful! after the form is posted.
8. Decode the MIME packet in the image files and save it to the server's hard
drive.
A data island is implemented as the repository for the return data. This is
generated by the server-side component and sent back in a standard Web page.
