Hi Friend,

Try the following code:

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=
"uploadandstore.jsp" 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">&nbsp;</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">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Send File"> </td>
</tr>
<table>
</center>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

2)uploadandstore.jsp:

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.zip.*"%>
<%
String saveFile="";
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);
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:/"+saveFile;
File ff = new File(saveFile);
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(ff);
fileOut.write(dataBytes, startPos, (endPos - startPos));
