upload files 1

[yama]

Hi,
I want to save some form details and a certain picture file to the server and store the picture pathname to the database on the server using JSP codes. For example, I have this upload.jsp that contain this html code --> <input type=file name=upload size=20>.
I will be able to choose any file from my client computer, then i will have a save button, when i press it, all the form details on upload.jsp will be send to save.jsp. How do i save the picture file that i have choosen at the form to the server? anyone has any idea???
thanks!!!

Here a link for using the O'Reilly Java Package:

http://www.servlets.com/jservlet2/examples/ch04/UploadTest.java

. This is an example from Jason Hunter's excellent Servlet Programming book. This package makes uploading a file extremely easy. Back in the day we had to do this all by hand. You should feel lucky.

BTW, the correct HTML to send an file upload to a Servlet or JSP is:

<FORM ACTION=&quot;upload.jsp&quot; ENCTYPE=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot; METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=file>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>

The important parts are the ACTION tag (obviously), the ENCTYPE needs to be &quot;multipart/form-data&quot; and the <INPUT TYPE=FILE> tag will allow the user to actually select the file for upload.
