[MarkLogic Dev General] External file upload into marklogic database

[Jason Hunter]

Hi Venkatesh,

If you simply need to load a file from a client machine and can put 
software on the client machine, then the XCC library is your best bet. 
It lets you stream a file across the net into MarkLogic.  It is to 
MarkLogic what JDBC is for a relational database.  There are Java and 
.NET versions available at developer.marklogic.com.

If you're wanting to handle a web browser file upload (RFC 1867) then 
you'll need something on the server that understands the special file 
format with which a browser uploads the file.  If you have a Java front 
end (aka JBoss), there are lots of Java libraries that can do this 
(Apache has one, and I wrote one myself at http://servlets.com/cos). 
Tthe Java layer can catch the file(s) and use XCC to insert them into 
MarkLogic (or you could just save them on the filesystem and do an 
xdmp:load() for a dirt simple approach).

Or if your server is pure XQuery you could write an RFC 1867 parser in 
XQuery or maybe someone on the list has already written one in XQuery 
and would be willing to share.

If you have another kind of situation, let us know more.
