[JavaDreams]

I am making a very simple website as my minor project, in which i will ask user to upload photo and save it in the BLOB field of my database.
I have created a form.

  <form action="SavePic" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
           name="productForm" id="productForm">

         Please Upload Your Profile Picture

         <input type="file" name="file" id="file">

         <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

       </form>

Now please help me how to fetche the image in servlet and store in BLOB field of Database.
I am stuck, please Help!!

Are you doing this with JSP?

hi JavaDreams.

Use apache upload commons to fetch the file from the client side to the server. It comes with a pretty good documentation, and you won't have too much problem in writing the servlet (as u're signature suggests!). Rest inserting it into the database is a pretty easy! ..try it

good luck :)

With all your guidence i am able to getting a image file uploaded and save it in a folder on my disk.
Bust just a single error.
When i upload image, it doesn't come when i call it with the <Img> tag. But when i run the whole program again it comes.
So am i missing any thing??

Hi javadreams,

good to hear that!!... :o

if u have succeeded in uploading the image, displaying it with the image tag shouldn't be a problem after a refresh. image tag just displays the image as specified by its src attribute...that's the concept and that's how things work.
U must be missing something which is not clear to me....so please elaborate your problem a bit, specially when i run the whole program part or check your code once again...ok??

good luck!
