Required: Information on the Last Modification Time Stamp at the Client Side machine

[ji...@polaris.co.in]

Hi,

I used commons FileUpload [version FileUpload 1.1.1] for file upload
feature in servlet.Using API i am able to get all the required information
except the last modified time stamp of the file in the client side machine.

Code Snippet that i am using::
==============================
                        // Create a factory for disk-based file items
                        DiskFileItemFactory factory = new
DiskFileItemFactory(
                                    yourMaxMemorySize, yourTempDirectory);

                        // Create a new file upload handler
                        ServletFileUpload upload = new
ServletFileUpload(factory);

                        // Parse the request
                        List /* FileItem */items =
upload.parseRequest(request);

                        // Process the uploaded items
                        Iterator iter = items.iterator();
                        while (iter.hasNext()) {
                              FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();

                              if (!item.isFormField()) {
                                    clientFileName = item.getName();
                                    sizeInBytes = item.getSize();
                                    ....
                              }
                        }


Example,to expain my requirement:

      Consider a file SampleFile001.txt, Last Modified on the Client
Machine at :-- Tuesday, November 21,            2006, 3:12:11 PM

      Say the file was uploaded/written on to the Server file system using
the Commons API call on                   Wednesday,November 22, 2006,
3:12:11 PM.

      Then at the server side i can only retrieve the Creation TimeStamp of
the file on the server file         system(Wednesday,November 22,
2006,3:12:11 PM), where as i need the Time Stamp when the file was
last modified on the client machine(i.e,Tuesday, November 21,2006, 3:12:11
PM).

Plz suggest me solution

Thanks!

If your client is a browser, there is no solution. The browser simply does
not send this information when it submits a multipart request. To obtain
that information, you would have to use or write a custom upload client.
