Here is my code please help figure out what is wrong...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;


public class fileuploadcommon extends HttpServlet { 

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, 
                       HttpServletResponse res)
       throws ServletException, IOException

    {
        DiskFileUpload fu = new DiskFileUpload();

        // maximum size before a FileUploadException will be thrown

        fu.setSizeMax(1000000);

        // maximum size that will be stored in memory

        fu.setSizeThreshold(4096);

        // the location for saving data that is larger than 
getSizeThreshold()

        fu.setRepositoryPath("/tmp");

        List fileItems = fu.parseRequest(req);

        // assume we know there are two files. The first file is a small
        // text file, the second is unknown and is written to a file on
        // the server

        Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
        String comment = ((FileItem)i.next()).getString();
        FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();

        // filename on the client

        String fileName = fi.getName();

        // save comment and filename to database

        // write the file

        fi.write("/uploads/" + fileName);

    }
}

Here is the error that I get...

fi.write("/uploads/" + fileName);
