Hi,
it should be "doclib" (jpg thumbnail) & "webpreview" for the flash preview:

upload.createThumbnail("doclib", true);
upload.createThumbnail("webpreview", true);‍‍

cheers, jan

Thanks jan….

I found the problem i need to register thumbnail's definition in thumbnail-service-context.xml.
and yes i can also do as you propose as "doclib" and "webpreview" are predefined thumbnails.

Hi,
yub, you're right..you didn't mentioned that you#re trying to use a custom thumbnail definition. 🙂
