Upload file in jsp and save it to MYSQL

**juhiswt** · 04-20-2012, 12:49 PM

I am trying to upload file in jsp.
I used HTML file tag
<input type="file" name="resume" size="20" value="Upload Resume ">

then in second page I retrieved its value by String filepath=request.getParameter("resume");

But its only giving the file name not the file path.Please someone tell me how i can read file by this and how it can be stored in mysql.

Thanx in advance!!

You'll want something like Apache FileUpload.
That'll handle the multipart bit which gives you access to the file stream.

<html>
<head>
<title>File Uploading Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>File Upload:</h3>
Select a file to upload: <br />
<form action="UploadServlet" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="resume" size="50" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

-----------
Servlet part
------------

DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.
getInputStream());
//we are taking the length of Content type data
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
//this loop converting the uploaded file into byte code
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead,
formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}
String file = new String(dataBytes);
//for saving the file name

Hope then u ll find how to update in DB
