It would probably be easier and more reliable to upload your documents and then run a workflow on them.

Failing that if you still want to have a server side upload you would have to put your documents onto a filesystem accessable by the alfresco server and then run some code to read that file and load it into alfresco.

More details… On the server you would use NodeService.createNode to create the node and then get a content writer fpr that node and ContentWriter.putContent(File).

Could we override the manage-task-dialog.jsp and embed the r:upload tag into it to upload local file and load it into alfresco repository as an alternative way to overcome the restriction of server side only files?
