Allowing users of web app to upload files
Well,
As Yaov said this list was ok for JSP development,
here I go.
I am having a great time using Tomcat on SuSE 9.1 with
SSL and all is working fine.
I would like users of my web applications to be able
to upload image files to directories that Tomcat is
serving files out of. This must happen THROUGH the
web application.
Therefore I have two questions:
1. How would I get a file off a remote users hard
drive (which they specify by typing the file name and
location into a text box in a form) to move to my
server and be renamed (using my own file naming
convention)?
2. How do you open a Browse File dialog box in a web
browser (I would guess this would be easily done using
Java Script. may not be an appropriate question here,
so only answer if you happen to have the answer on
hand) If possible, pointing me to a location on the
web where this is done and the script is readily
apparent, would be a fine answer.

Justin,
Client Side:
<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="newfile" value=""/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File"/>
</form>
This will present a broswe button and text box for the user to select
the file.
Server Side:
Look at FileUpload http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/. If
using Struts (http://struts.apache.org/) then you already have access to
FileUpload so look at the JavaDocs for it to find how to use it.
Hope this has helped.

what you are asking is not jsp specific.
all you need is the html element
<INPUT TYPE="file" ...>
set within a html form.
then you need to process the form accordingly when it is submitted.
you might want to check out jakarta commons's FileUpload utilities to
help with the processing.

No, in fact I didn't see it. Thank you. If I have
any specific questions after reading it, I will ask.
Thank you so much.

I take it, then, you didn't see this?
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/using.html
If you did read it, then what are your specific questions?

Re: Allowing users of web app to upload files
Posted by Justin Jaynes <ju...@yahoo.com>.
I just realized I misspelled Yoav's name in my earlier
question. My appologies Yoav.
So my question: How do I USE the fileupload Commons
package? I don't see any instructions with the
COMMONS packages.
Thanks for the quick directions in response to my
problem. However, I am not familiar with the COMMONS
project. I admit that I have a difficult time
understanding how to implement other peoples
programming in a way that it works with mine. I know
how to use my own, because I wrote it. So I am at the
stage in my programming 'carreer' that I need to learn
how to tie in other work with my own. If someone
could answer my fileupload Commons question directly,
that would be nice. Pointing me in the proper
direction to LEARN how to use it would be useful as
well.
