I am able to store the path into MySQL but the name image file is weird, example is in the link:SQL

I understand that the error is particular at lines:

Part part = request.getPart("file");
String fileName = part.toString();

Any help is greatly appreciated as i am now currently having my final year project.

Add only code relevant for the question. Try to make the code short. — Johny, Mar 19 '16 at 07:54

The fileName is weird because of toString() method in the Part class. This class uses default implementation from Object class which prints jvm-specific instance ID.

Probably your Part class implementation has public methods which return file name. Try this:

String fileName = part.getSubmittedFileName(();

Instead of:

String fileName = part.toString();

Optionally you can allways get human-readable fileName introducing additional attribute into request.

Also consider generating file names by yourself - getting random UUID as a fileName for example. UUID file name generation would help to prevent names clashes in the file system (what if user would submit two different files with identical names?)

I manage to solve the error by adding this code:

   private String extractFileName(Part part) {
    String contentDisp = part.getHeader("content-disposition");
    String[] items = contentDisp.split(";");
    for (String s : items) {
        if (s.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
            return s.substring(s.indexOf("=") + 2, s.length()-1);
        }
    }
    return "";
}

However if i want to host this webapplication how do i change the path so that it is store in the web-content folder in my Web Project.

I managed to store it in the web-content folder, however now i want to display the image on the browser, so what should i do? – James_the_97 Mar 24 '16 at 15:38
Read above link for why you shouldn't do that and the link therein how you can serve back it. – BalusC Mar 24 '16 at 15:39
