Open file dialog for the server in Eclipse RAP

Question

I have been trying out the FileDialog and FileUpload in Eclipse RAP. They are awesome to get files from the client. However, in my RAP application I need to export and import files to/from the server's local disk.

Is there any file dialog widget in RAP that would allow me to select a file from a server folder?

Answer 1

There is no ready-to-use dialog in RAP to select files from the server's file system.

You will need to implement a custom file selection dialog.
