[harsha.udupa2008]

Hi all,

I have requirement that i have to upload a file from the local system to database. I got the technique to save the file data to the database. i am using eclipse for development. i have a jsp page where i have file upload option. when i select a file from the local system , i am passing this file path to the sevlet to read from the file and save it in the database. when i read from the path specified it is telling file not found. when i came to that the default path is set to the eclipse home directory. if i select the file from eclipse home directory my servlet is reading the file , when i select file from some other location it is not reading. what i have to do to solve this problem. please help me on this.

i am passing this file path to the sevlet to read from the file

Is all the code executing on the same PC?
Is the path a full path including the drive letter?

hi ,

The code is in the remote server. yes i am passing full path(including the driver letter).

Um.
Pass the file to the servlet, not the path.

You upload a file to a servlet, you don't pass the path and then hope the server the servlet is sitting on can see it.
