In GWT, is it possible to redirect a file upload to another REST service?

I've been reading this question about

FileUpload

in GWT. I have a GWT web app and a Spring Boot service with a

REST

API. The GWT app needs to allow the user to post a file, along with some

URL

query string parameters to the Spring Boot service.

Is it possible to redirect the upload so the file is sent directly to the Spring Boot service or do I need to upload it to a GWT

Servlet

first, then forward it on to the Spring Boot service?

Yes, I figured it out. In the FormPanel you need to call FormPanel.setAction() and pass it the URL of the service you want to post to. The data will be posted once you call FormPanel.submit().
