I am currently working on file uploading through servlets and I am getting a 404 error. Here is my code
FileUpload.html
<html>
<head>
<title>File Uploading Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>File Upload:</h3>
Select a file to upload:
<br />
<!-- form tag is genraly used for user input-->
<!-- action attr defines action to be performed when form is submitted -->
<!-- method attr defines the HTTP method to be used when submitting forms -->
<!-- enctype attr specifies the encoding of the submitted data -->
<form action="UploadServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- size attr specifies the visible width in chars of an <input> element -->
<input type="file" name="file" size="50" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have updated my web.xml file also as follows
<context-param>
<description>Location to store uploaded file</description>
<param-name>file-upload</param-name>
<param-value>c:\apache-tomcat-5.5.29\webapps\data\</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>UploadServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>UploadServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>UploadServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/UploadServlet</url-pattern>
