Hi Folks,
After getting CKFinder working with apache httpd without any help from these forums I then tried to access ckfinder running in apache from ckeditor in my web site which is running in tomcat. Yes this is a B2B call and it should be permitted by telling apache httpd (localhost:80) to grant access to localhost:8088 (where my site is running using Tomcat). This did not work - I got a server response of 200 with the text listing of connector.php. So I checked the forums: Low and behold - the forums indicate that you can't do this - period. Is this really true? Don't servers make B2B calls every day. Why cant that be done here?
Anyway - after that I looked for a way to integrate CKFinder into Tomcat. And to my complete surprise I find that there is no such integration - at least for CKFinder 2.0. Seriously - did you actually exclude enterprise level Java integration from your product?
So - here I am in the enterprise Java world trying to use CKFinder and it can't be accessed from another web site, nor does it have Tomcat integration. And the docs on server side integration (http://docs.cksource.com/CKFinder_2.x/S ... ntegration) leave much to be desired. Are we supposed to write our own Java connector? Really? And we should pay for this? Is there any real documentation on how to do the things I am trying? They are everyday functionalities which CKFinder - strangely - does not seem to have.

Re: CKFinder - no cross domain calls and no Java Connector?!
Everything you wrote is correct. The cross domain environment and domain relaxation is something that is still targeted to 2.x and to be checked, we're still not sure what will actually be possible here.
Regarding the Java connector, I still cannot provide any ETA. I can only say that if you decide to purchase a license and write your own connector, I can answer any questions you ask related to this task (I cannot help in coding though).
