[ome-users] Image Upload and Java API

[Nicholas Lahens]

Hi again,
I've been experimenting with these importers by attempting to call them from a java application using an XMLRpcCaller. To be able to make use of these importers through java (and at the command line), I see that the desired files must already have been assigned file ID's and therefore must have been uploaded to OME in some fashion. Is there a way I can use OME-Java to select a file while working on a client machine (from the client machine's hard-drive) and upload it to the OME server/machine so that I can then use the imageImporters on it? Basically I'm trying to create a little test client that will allow a user to select an image file from his/her machine and have that file be uploaded and imported into OME. I have taken a look at the way VisBio does this, but that is reliant upon the VisBio datasets and VisAD for the interpretation for various image formats. OME's strength lies in its ability to interpret and properly import a wide variety of image types and I would like t!
!
o be able to just send it an image from a client machine and have OME process the file. Ideally I would like to continue using OME-Java to do this, but I'll take anything really. Thanks for all the help everyone has provided.
