upload file question

[hesham katon]

Hello everybody,
I am trying to make simple upload file through html form
I used Jakarta Commons FileUpload
I have made the code typically like jakarta description :
====================upload.jsp=========================
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.fileupload.*,java.util.*,java.io.*" %>
<%
// Check that we have a file upload request
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);

// Create a new file upload handler
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();

// 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()) {
out.println("hi , this is form based item "+item.getFieldName()+" "+item.getString()+"<BR>");
} else {
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fileName = item.getName();
String contentType = item.getContentType();
boolean isInMemory = item.isInMemory();
long sizeInBytes = item.getSize();

InputStream uploadedStream = item.getInputStream();
uploadedStream.close();
out.println("hi , this is uploaded item "+item.getFieldName()+" "+item.getName()+" "+item.getName()+" "+item.getSize()+"<BR>");
}

}


%>
=========================================================

also this is the form i am using :
==============form.html=============
<form method="post" ACTION="upload.jsp" name="upform" ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data'>
<input type="file" name="uploadfile">
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="upload">

</form>
====================================

the upload.jsp works fine without errors , and generate some infromation about the file i want to upload , its name , its size ... but i don't know where this file is uploaded ???

i searched on the server just beside the upload.jsp page , but i didn't find any uploaded file !

can any one help me and tell me what i am missing in this code ?
or, if the file is really uploaded , where is it , and how i can define a specific place to upload it ?

thank you very much in advance

InputStream uploadedStream = item.getInputStream();
uploadedStream.close();

With these lines you are not reading the inputstream. Create a file object with this input stream and write it out to a place on disk the server has access to. The way it is now the file attributes are only pulled from the request and never written to disk.

thanks Jeremy , but can you help me with some code example ..
this is what i have tried to do , but still not workin

=============================================================
// creating File Object
InputStream uploadedFile = item.getInputStream();
File serverFile = new File("3.gif");
serverFile.createNewFile();

// then i must convert the file into bytes to write it
byte[] byteArray=new byte[uploadedFile.available()];

uploadedFile.read(byteArray);
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(serverFile);
os.write(byteArray);
os.close();
=============================================================
the code is work without exception
but still no result on the disk
wish you can help
