Now wasn't that easy? Running an internet search before asking questions is highly useful, as you can be more specific in your query and sound more knowledgable in the description of your predicament. BTW, the link to the jGuru question is most helpful. If you have further questions after your research, don't hesitate to ask them - we'll be here ready and waiting.

Unless you are referring to a particular implementation of a file upload servlet, once you've read the file it's up to you what happens from there. It's hard to tell from your question because you don't give much detail. In the version I used a while back, once I read the file in I saved it on the webserver/appserver using a fully-qualified path that resides in the HTML document area of the webserver so that anyone can get to it, then stored the html link to that location in a database table. Once you get the file it's all up to you. Standard I/O and JDBC functions work just fine in servlets, so you can store the file in any way you choose.
