HOWTO: Upgrading from Image Uploader 1.x for Java

This topic discusses what actions should be carried out to upgrade Aurigma Image Uploader 1.1 for Java to Aurigma Image Uploader 4.0 Dual.

There are no breaking changes was done comparing to the Aurigma Image Uploader 1.1 for Java. That's why you should do a minimum number of steps:

1. Update Image Uploader as described in the Updating Image Uploader on the Client Side.
2. Make sure that codebase settings of ActiveX and Java versions are configured properly (i.e. they are pointing to the CAB file and the folder with JAR file).
3. Update the license key. Contact sales@aurigma.com for all license upgrade questions.
4. If you want to use some new features of Aurigma Image Uploader 4.0 Dual check out this documentation. In particular, it is recommended to examine the What's New? topic to see what new features are added and where to read about it more detailed.

Also, there were few members renamed. The list below contains obsolete and removed members of Java version of Image Uploader.

• EnableRotate was renamed to AllowRotate;
• PreviewThumbnailActiveColor was renamed to PreviewThumbnailBorderColor;
• PreviewThumbnailInactiveColor was renamed to PreviewThumbnailBorderHoverColor.

One more significant change is that Image Uploader now does not send full file path when sending a file name. It sends only the name of the file, but does not send folder structure. This behavior modification was caused by changes made in new browser (Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox, etc). Due security reasons they do not send the folder structure to the server. So does Image Uploader. The FileName_I cannot be used to retrieve full path anymore as well.
