After headaches, 7 coffee, 1 Cheese Burger and 7 hours of sleep. I finally got Apache Commons FileUpload to work! : )
My working environment: JDeveloper 10g, Tomcat 5.x and Oracle DB 10g, Apache Commons Lib
The working code:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {// Check that we have a file upload request
boolean isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);// Create a factory for disk-based file items
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);try {
// Parse the request
List items = upload.parseRequest(request);// Process the uploaded items
Iterator iter = items.iterator();while (iter.hasNext()) {
FileItem item = (FileItem)iter.next();
if (item.isFormField()) {String name = item.getFieldName();
String value = item.getString();
if(name.equals(“username”)) { username= value; }
if(name.equals(“pass”)) { passwd=value;}
if(name.equals(“email”)) { email=value;}} else {
//Process the file upload
// *************************************************
// This is where you would process the uploaded file
// *************************************************
File uploadedFile = null;
String myFullFileName = fileItem.getName(), myFileName =
“”, slashType =
(myFullFileName.lastIndexOf(“\\”) > 0) ? “\\” : “/”;
int startIndex = myFullFileName.lastIndexOf(slashType);
myFileName =
myFullFileName.substring(startIndex + 1, myFullFileName.length());uploadedFile =
new File(“/home/gulshanbeejan/uploads”,
myFileName);
fileItem.write(uploadedFile);
//fileItem.delete();}
}
//Do stuff with fields collected here.. like save in a db?
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
enctype=”multipart/form-data” will only work that way, you cannot use a multipart/form-data and use request.getParameter(“username”); it will never work.
I hope this helps other souls!
