Here is a Stackoverflow thread that talks about uploading folders:

Now to use with AEM - you will have to modify the Servlet code (shown in the above article) to handle folders.

I have not heard of anyone using Applets and AEM. I would use a FileUploader on the web page and code a Sling Servlet on the backend to place the files in the DAM.

Using a standard HTML form with a file input it is possible to upload a file directly into the DAM. Use a form something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <form method="post" action="http://localhost:4502/content/dam/geometrtixx.createasset.html" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" size="20" name="_charset_" value="utf-8">
    <input id="file" name="file" type="file">
    <input type="submit" value="upload">
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

Change the path in the form action from /content/dam/geometrixx to whatever DAM location you wish.

If you select a file named my.gif, it will create an asset in the DAM at /content/dam/geometrixx/my.gif

It will go through the normal workflows to give you the various asset renditions also.

Hi Smac /ahmed,

Thanks for the response.

But My requirement is to upload FOLDERS and NOT FILES.

Hence i thought of utilizing the applets. Please respond with a suitable solution for my implementation.

 

Thanks in advance
