Java servlet for upload image

Question

I would like to create a Java Servlet to allow an Android device to post photos. Where should I begin? Should I use the Apache common fileupload library?

I know how to create a servlet, basically like this right:

@WebServlet(name = "UploadServlet")
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    }

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    }
}

(I'm new to Java and web development.)

Tks for the question redirect. – EyeQ Tech Apr 14 '13 at 08:00 — EyeQ Tech, Apr 14 '13 at 08:00

It seems you're using Servlet API 3.0, so there is a dedicated annotation for tagging methods which manage file upload: javax.servlet.annotation.MultipartConfig.

A good tutorial / example is How to write upload file servlet with Servlet 3.0 API.
