Simple upload servlet

[Gary20]

Hi

I haven't been writing servlets for very long. I tried using the "org.apache.commons.fileupload" package but couldn't really get it to work. It would bomb at run-time. But at the same time, I think it is overkill for a simple file upload.

Is there a simpler way to upload a file to spot on my web server? I am trying to upload PDFs. Just a simple one file upload. Or should I just go back and figure out why "fileupload" is not working?

If curious the error is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException

Thanks!

Hi

Apparently, **AGAIN**, it does not work in Eclipse. But had to add commons-io.jar to Tomcat which they should have included in the download.

Now my problem is that I took the code from Apache and it is uploading the files but the printout shows that it is looping only once in the iteration:

			while(itr.hasNext()) {
				
				out.println( "Pass into loop"    );

				FileItem item = (FileItem) itr.next();
				/*
				 * Handle Form Fields.
				 */
				if(item.isFormField()) {
					out.println("Form field" );
					out.println("File Name = "+item.getFieldName()+", Value = "+item.getString());
				} else {
					//Handle Uploaded files.
					out.println("upload the files" );

					out.println("Field Name   = "+item.getFieldName()   );
					out.println("File Name    = "+item.getName()   );
					out.println("Content type = "+item.getContentType()   );
					out.println("File Size    = "+item.getSize()   );
					out.println(     );
					
					/*
					 * Write file to the ultimate location.
					 */
					File file = new File(destinationDir,item.getName());
					item.write(file);
				} //end if else
				out.close();
			} //end while

And my output looks like this:

<h1>Servlet File Upload Example using Commons File Upload</h1>

Pass into loop
upload the files
Field Name   = fileggg1
File Name    = g.jpg
Content type = image/jpeg
File Size    = 2548

So, it uploads 3 files but will only show the first filename. How can I get it to show all the uploaded files?

Thanks!

Figured it out. The Apache code is a little off:
out.close();
should be outside the while loop.
