R help - Aug 2009 - RServe - How to use 'createReference' method?

I need to input a txt, or xls, file from a client to R, using RServe.
>From what I've been reading, the best way to do this, is using the
'createReference' method, from REngine package.
But I couldn't find any documents exemplifying it's use. I got  to
upload a
file from java? And then? How do i refeer the file to this method?

Best Regards,

J. Daniel

Hi,

The Rserve implementation of REngine does not support references (yet?). 
Anyway, I don't think references are what you need here.

You probably want the methods createFile and openFile that create 
RFileInputStream and RFileOutputStream which you can use to transfer 
files through the R server wire.
