how to uploade a file in servlet

Hello Friend,
Try this:
1)page.jsp:
<%@ page language="java" %> <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Display file upload form to the user</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="../UploadServlet" METHOD=POST> <br><br><br> <center> <table border="0" bgcolor=#ccFDDEE> <tr><center><td colspan="2" align="center"><B>UPLOAD THE FILE</B><center></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> </td></tr> <tr><td><b>Choose the file To Upload:</b></td><td><INPUT NAME="file" TYPE="file"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Send File"> </td></tr> <table> </center> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML>
2)UploadServlet.java:
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead,formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}
String file = new String(dataBytes);
String saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
int lastIndex = contentType.lastIndexOf("=");
String boundary = contentType.substring(lastIndex + 1,contentType.length());
int pos;
pos = file.indexOf("filename=\"");
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
int boundaryLocation = file.indexOf(boundary, pos) - 4;
int startPos = ((file.substring(0, pos)).getBytes()).length;
int endPos = ((file.substring(0, boundaryLocation)).getBytes()).length;
saveFile="C:/UploadedFiles/"+saveFile;
File ff = new File(saveFile);
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(ff);
fileOut.write(dataBytes, startPos, (endPos - startPos));
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
Connection connection = null;
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test";
ResultSet rs = null;
PreparedStatement psmnt = null;
FileInputStream fis;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "root");
File f = new File(saveFile);
psmnt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into file(file_data) values(?)");
fis = new FileInputStream(f);
psmnt.setBinaryStream(1, (InputStream)fis, (int)(f.length()));
int s = psmnt.executeUpdate();
if(s>0) {
out.println("Uploaded successfully !");
}
else{
out.println("unsucessfull to upload file.");
}
}
catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
}
Thanks

Hi,
If you don't want the file to be saved into database. You can remove the JDBC code. Please check in code file is being saved into C:/UploadedFiles/ folder.
saveFile="C:/UploadedFiles/"+saveFile; File ff = new File(saveFile);
Thanks

Hello Friend,
Try this:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead,formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}
String file = new String(dataBytes);
String saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
int lastIndex = contentType.lastIndexOf("=");
String boundary = contentType.substring(lastIndex + 1,contentType.length());
int pos;
pos = file.indexOf("filename=\"");
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
int boundaryLocation = file.indexOf(boundary, pos) - 4;
int startPos = ((file.substring(0, pos)).getBytes()).length;
int endPos = ((file.substring(0, boundaryLocation)).getBytes()).length;
saveFile="C:/UploadedFiles/"+saveFile;
File ff = new File(saveFile);
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(ff);
fileOut.write(dataBytes, startPos, (endPos - startPos));
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
out.println("Uploaded successfully !");
}
}
}
Through the above code, your file will get uploaded and saved into the C:/UploadedFiles/.
