Connector Servlet activation

The Connector Servlet is not mandatory. If you do not plan to provide file interaction, you can skip this section.

Hint:
The Connector Servlet has to be declared and will be disabled by default for security reasons!

It takes two steps to enable it:

  1. Declare the ConnectorServlet in your web.xml:
      <web-app version="2.4">
    ...
    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>ConnectorServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
          net.fckeditor.connector.ConnectorServlet
      </servlet-class>
      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    ...
    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>ConnectorServlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>
        /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/*
      </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    ...
  </web-app>

    Assuming you installed the editor in the /fckeditor folder in your webapp.
    The Connector Servlet is now declared but still disabled. The response is going to be a localized error message.

  2. Create a fckeditor.properties file in your classpath and add:
      connector.userActionImpl=net.fckeditor.requestcycle.impl.EnabledUserAction

The Connector Servlet is now enabled.
