[Paraview] loading state file ParaviewWeb

Tue Jul 12 11:36:15 EDT 2011

When you load your state inside the regular ParaView (Qt client), do
you see something ?

If your state use a file, and if that file do not have the same path
between the computer where the state has been generated and the
server, you will need to update the path and make sure that the file
is available on the server.

This "state update" is dynamically possible with the PWStates
application. If you edit your application, you are able to change the
path of the state file, although you still need to have that data file
on the server.
