FileServer Template

Overview

A template for a file server backend built with Spring MVC, to be used in bigger projects.

The server handles file related requests asynchronously and for each upload it sends a notification to the user with Server Sent Events. No authentication mechanism is included and the UI is simple, since this is meant to be a minimal template.

The server supports :

• file upload
• getting the list of uploaded files
  • the current implementation disregards subdirectories, but can be changed by changing the FileSearching interface implementation.
• download a file
• delete a file

Notes

In fileserver.properties there are options for selecting a storage location as well as the size of the thread pool that will execute the file serving tasks.
