problem uploading files using commons fileupload

[Jag Bains]

Hi,

I am trying to use the file upload that comes with commons-fileupload-1.0.jar

I can't seem to get the file in my servlet.

The html snippet of my code is :

  
  <form name="jagform" method="post" action="/petards_maint/genericRequest.do" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" >
        <table width=100% border="0">
      <tr>
        <td class="labelHeading"><bean:message key="image_location"/></td>
          <td>
          <input type="file" name="IMAGE_LOCATION" size="100" maxlength="200" >
          </td>
      </tr>

In my servlet i have the following:

  
 
   private void checkForFileUpload(HttpServletRequest request){
 
     boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
     cat.debug("\n\n isMultipart = "+isMultipart+"\n\n");
 
     if (isMultipart) {
       cat.debug("I know its a file upload");
       // Create a new file upload handler
       DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
 
       // Set upload parameters
       //upload.setSizeThreshold(yourMaxMemorySize);
       //upload.setSizeMax(yourMaxRequestSize);
       upload.setRepositoryPath("c:/temp");
       cat.debug("just set RespoitoryPath to "+upload.getRepositoryPath());
       try{
 
         // Parse the request
         java.util.List items = upload.parseRequest(request);
         cat.debug("just get a list of items from parsing request "+items.toString());
         // Process the uploaded items
         Iterator iter = items.iterator();
         while (iter.hasNext()) {
           FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
           cat.debug(" item = " + item.isFormField());
           if (!item.isFormField()) {
             processUploadedFile(item);
           }
         }
       }catch (org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException e){
         cat.error ("caught exception while uploading file "+ e.toString());
       }
     }
   }
 

On the

java.util.List items = upload.parseRequest(request);
cat.debug("just get a list of items from parsing request "+items.toString());

I only get the following response in my log output which makes me think I am doing something wrong in the HTML section.:

2005-07-03 18:23:02,806 DEBUG com.jag.petardscmsservlet.CMSGenericRequestAction
- just get a list of items from parsing request []

Any ideas?

Commons is not Struts. I have adjusted the subject for you accordingly.

sorry, my mistake... but any ideas that can point my in the correct direction?
