File Upload Client

The first draft of the upload client is done for now.

It uses the PhotoController exposed as webservice vie xfire. For now, there is no REST employed – so it’s old-fashioned SOAP. This can be changed any time i suppose.

The client is still very prototypish, especially since the gui has been created with a gui builder – it is not quite MVC-like.

Another important thing is the IImagePolicy interface, which will be used in order to have all the Images correspond to certain quality standards which can be format, filesize, type or even content. For this the ImageProcessor uses the checking functions along with the “countermeasures” as defined by the interface. Since this is not quite complete and only meant as a showcase for now it is still quite simple.

The important parameters for the application are to be set up in the ImageUploadClient instance (will be properties or program arguments in the final version).
