annotationSaveServlet

This parameter specifies the location of the server object that implements the POST request to save annotations in a single stream of data.

You must supply the server object, which might be a CGI script, an EXE program, an Active Server Page (ASP), or a JSP page. This object must conform to the specification for save POST objects in ViewONE Annotations Module.

This parameter is the recommended approach for setting up the interface between the viewer and the back-end repository for saving and retrieval of annotation data.

You can add parameters to the URL. For example, you might add as user ID or document ID to send user-specific or document-specific annotations.

When a user clicks the annotations save button, the server object is called only if the document that is displayed was retrieved through a web server. The object is not called if the document was not retrieved through a web server, for example, if the document was retrieved through the file:/// protocol (which is not a supported protocol).
