Is there a way to handle a file in GWT without loading it to the server-side?

Question

I'm using a third-party library (GWT Uploader), Servlet and another third-party library (Apache Commons Fileupload) to upload and handle files in the server-side of my web-app. But I want to be able to handle file's content without sending it to the server. How can I accomplish that? Do I need another thrid-party library to do so?

Did you mean I/O operations with JavaScript? – Paul Vargas Sep 12 '13 at 22:09 — Paul Vargas, Sep 12 '13 at 22:09
@PaulVargas Yes, that's what I meant. – Clawdidr Sep 13 '13 at 12:47 — Clawdidr, Sep 13 '13 at 12:47

ClientIO as seen in this site, might be useful. I've never used it before, but check out the link.

You may also be able to use lib-gwt-file, which is an implementation of the HTML5 File API.
