Please follow the below steps before coding the upload script in jsp.
1. Download the commons-upload.jar from Apache’s website.
2. Put that jar file into the classpath, i.e in WEB-INF/lib/ directory.
3. Then create a jsp file with the following code and any static HTML page for initial page.
The code here goes:
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.*,
org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload,
org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory,
org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils,
java.util.*,
java.io.File,
java.lang.Exception,
java.io.*,
java.net.*,
org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.*" %>

<strong>Uploaded File[s] Info:</strong>

String optionalFileName = "";
FileItem fileItem = null;
String[] files = new String[2]; // file names
String dirName = "D:/Program Files/Tomcat 5.5/webapps/comp-tool/uploads/"; // upload directory path
int i=0;
if (ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request)) {
ServletFileUpload servletFileUpload = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory());
List fileItemsList = servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request);
Iterator it = fileItemsList.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
FileItem fileItemTemp = (FileItem)it.next();
if (fileItemTemp.isFormField()) {
%>
<strong>Name-value Pair Info:</strong>
Field name: <%= fileItemTemp.getFieldName() %>
Field value: <%= fileItemTemp.getString() %>
<%
if (fileItemTemp.getFieldName().equals("filename"))
optionalFileName = fileItemTemp.getString();
}
else
fileItem = fileItemTemp;
if (fileItem!=null) {
String fileName = fileItem.getName();
%>
<!-- Content type: <%= fileItem.getContentType() %> Field name: <%= fileItem.getFieldName() %> -->
File name: <font color="blue"> <%= fileName %></font>
File size: <font color="blue"> <%= fileItem.getSize() %> Bytes</font>
<%
/* Save the uploaded file if its size is greater than 0. */
if (fileItem.getSize() > 0 && fileItem.getSize() < 4000000) {
if (optionalFileName.trim().equals(""))
fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(fileName);
else
fileName = optionalFileName;
// added by Pavan recently
files[i++] = dirName + fileName;
File saveTo = new File(dirName + fileName);
try {
fileItem.write(saveTo);
%>
Upload Status: <font color="blue">Uploaded successfully...</font>
<%
} catch (Exception e){
%>
Error: <font color="red">An error occurred while saving the uploaded file.</font>
<%=e%>
<%
}
}
else {
%>

return;
}
}
}
}

You can find the HTML page code easily with a simple search on net.
where’s the code buddy?
Thanks for the ping. I modified some of html tags to > & < pair to get complete code.
Hello Sir, I want to ask about fileupload. If I use jsp, how to get the name of uploaded file in another file .jsp. Thank you sir.
Let me confirm the question you are asking.
You use one jsp script for file upload and want to send uploaded file name to another jsp script ?
If this is what you want – you can simply pass the filename as GET URL parameter to that new jsp file.
Another way is, let uploading action part done by another servlet with in this first jsp script and once uploading is finished, forward it to new.jsp?filename= or else you can directly print by servlet itself.
Let me know if this is not what you looking for ….
