GWT Blobstore error calling createUploadUrl()

Question

I am attempt to use the Blobstore api for appengine using GWT... I promise you! I had it working for months and suddenly I started get the following errors.. arfter executing the following line from a servelet.

public class ImageServiceImpl extends RemoteServiceServlet implements ImageService {

    /**
 * 
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

  // init the blog store service
private BlobstoreService blobService = BlobstoreServiceFactory.getBlobstoreService();
    //private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ImageServiceImpl.class);
    public static final String PATH_TO_DEFAULT_IMAGE = "images/no_photo.jpg";

. . . . . // omitted for brevity }

    @Override
    public String getUpLoadPath() {
        String url = blobService.createUploadUrl("/n5/doimage");
        return url;
    }

}

Answer 1

I found my own error! as it turn out the reason this was suddenly failing was because the FORM post thought it was cross domain posting. I was testing the web site by calling 127.0.0.1:8888..etc but when the when my Image RPC was called to establish the upload path, it returned to the form setAction the my machine name kmoore-PC:8888..etc instead of the 127.0.0.1:8888... and hence it returned null because it thought it was crossing domains.

To fix, click on the google box in url bar and add your computer name and then test you app using the computer name instead of 127
