Download / Upload file aynchronously

[pendse anagha]

Hello ,
I need to download / upload files in my application .
However the file sizes sometimes are huge and number of records easily run into millions .

This functionality has to be implemented from the web page
i.e. Cannot convert this into a batch job.

However - can someone throw some light / ideas if I think of
uploading the file into a tanle in Oracle as a CLOB
and then some back end process will pick the file up - parse it and do necessary inserts / updates ?

Could someone throw some light on what the best way to implement would be ?

Thanks in advance .

You could upload these files to a directory, and create a java.util.Timer which polls this directory periodically to find out if there are any new files to process.
