Storing an image file into DB(Null pointer exception)

[mithcool]

I am facing problem in storing an image file into sql server. Following is my jsp page form tag which calls a servlet which has the storage code..

<form name="form" action="NewServlet" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-date">
            <input type="file" name="file" size="20">
        <input type="submit">
        </form>

here is my servelt code for the same

 response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try{
        String path= request.getParameter("file");
        Connection con= null;
        Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:SQL","sa","mith1234");
        File image = new File(path);
        PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into temp values(?)");
        FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream(image);
        ps.setBinaryStream(1, (InputStream)fis, (int)(image.length()));
        int s= ps.executeUpdate();
        if(s>0)
        {
            out.println("Successfull");
        }
        else
        {
            out.println("unsuccessful");
        }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            out.println(e);
        }
 
            out.close();
        }

I think there is some problem in finding the real path of the image because i can store an image file into db when it comes from my project folder.....am getting NullPointerException...

You need to be able to read the POST information of the file. Google for how to upload a file in a servlet...you'll find lots of tutorials such as the following:
Java servlet file Upload example, JSP file upload,file upload servlet tutorial

Yes friend thanks for the link but i want my code to be altered to get the desired output. If I only want to get the output i would have copied the tutorial code and got the output till now but i want to rectify my mistake so will you please provide a fix to my code

Um...if you read the above link provided by doWhile then you'd have your answer and be able to do this yourself.
We are not a code factory here.

I know you are not a code factory there.... But atleast you people can rectify my code and i know you are capable enough

And doWhile has pointed out how.
You need to use something like Apaches file upload utility...which is what is used in the example in that link.
