BlueImp jQuery File Upload Plugin Integration with Jersey

Installation

1. BlueImp File Uploading stores file data to a MySQL database, so create a MySQL database and configure the connection in /resources/bootique.yml.
2. Run the MySQL Setup Script located in /install/sql/setup.sql.
3. You'll notice a /install/config directory. This is your EXTERNAL CONFIGURATION directory which must be located under your /home/username directory. Copy the config folder's contents to a subdirectory in your home directory, then enter that subdirectory path in the/resources/fileuploader.properties file.

Here's a sample configuration: If your username was billy and you copied the /config folder to /home/billy/fileuploader then the properties in fileuploader.properties would read as follows. Notice the paths indicate the subdirectory path from your user home directory.

global.properties.file=/fileuploader/global.properties
config.path=/fileuploader

BE SURE TO MAKE THE SAME UPDATES TO /test/resources/test.properties FOR TESTS

4. Update the external global.properties file. If, as in our example, your username was billy and you copied the /config folder to /home/billy/fileuploader the properties in your external global.properties file would read as shown below, since we are entering the full filepath here.

file.upload.path=/home/billy/fileuploader/files/
thumbnail.upload.path=/home/billy/fileuploader/thumbnails/
downloads.path=/home/billy/fileuploader/downloads/
