Hi all... I am working on a file sharing project .. Here users can upload / download files .. As in some file sharing sites i have seen when an user uploads a file (say an image file ) , he can view the thumbnail view of that file(image or video , whatever..) in his account.. So i want to achieve this..

the following is the jsp page where the user can upload a file by clicking on button..




The Upload file servlet code is shown below--->>



after doing this the file gets uploaded to the users account ( on the disc and the file path and file name is saved in database)... Now what i want to achieve is a thumbnail image to get created as soon as the file is uploaded and when the user opens his account , he views the thumbnail image of that file.. Please help me with detailed explainations and codes..

You'll ned to write some code to resize the image to create the thumbnail.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with JSP, so this post has moved to a more appropriate location.

In your Upload servlet, put some code that will resize an image and save it in another file. In your JSP, provide a link to the resized image

Code never goes in a JSP. Never. Ever.

Ever.

So while uploading the file ( say an image file )from the jsp page , when i pass it to a servlet , is that the servlet where that code will appear ?? Please ignore my dumbness if it is so..
