WebClient - creating new documents without uploading file

[theorbix]

Hi,

I need to build a WebClient customization with a different behaviour of the wizard used to upload new documents.

Currently, the wizard starts by asking to select the file to be uploaded, then it shows a page that allows to enter the title and select the content type and then it shows the page with the full list of metadata.

In my customization, I should skip the first step (the file upload): basically, I need to create new documents that only have metadata and no content files attached.

Content files will be attached in a second step, with another Web Client customization.

Has someone already implemented something similar? What should be modified? Do you have some code snippets to share?

There is a wiki page explaining how to customise the create content wizard here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Customising_The_Create_Content_Wizard , this will probably be a good starting point.
