[Glass] Saving "large" documents in GemStone

[Gerhard Obermann via Glass]

Hi,

We store all such files (attachments) on the filesystem.
After the upload (using Dropzone) we create for every fiile a file object
in GemStone which holds some
informations like: file name, file size, file type, relative url ...
