Seaside Book, Chapter 17, File Library

I think I see your confusion. All the WAFileLibrary subs can be accessed via the dispatcher (under files? Can't quite remember). That's where the uploader / buttons are coming from.

Creating your own form, etc. isn't especially difficult either.

Sure, I hope that helped. I think the url would look something like (guessing):

localhost:8080/files/WAFileLibrary

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. I'm phone-bound for a few days so you may get better help from others.
