How to upload a text file in jsp

Question

I am trying to upload a text file from client machine to server. Below is the code I am using in jsp.

<tr>
             <td class="FORMLABEL" nowrap valign=middle>
              &nbsp;&nbsp;<%= fileLabel %>&nbsp;
             </td>
             <td class="FORMELEMENT" nowrap valign=middle>
              <input  size = "50" name="loadFile" type="FILE" >
             </td>
     </tr>

I have checked the content Type of the load file, it is application/x-www-form-urlencoded I need to read the file. How can I copy this file from client machine to the server using JSP?

Answer 1

You need to write a servlet for fileupload

Create a form there and submit to server

<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="text" name="description" />
    <input type="file" name="file" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

and in servlet

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