uploading file

how does one write a servlet that uploads a file?

Turns out, this question is actually HTML-specific.

Short tutorial.

Now that I think of it, your servlet will need to do some processing.

You can either write your own code or copy what has already been done.

See MultipartRequest for an example.

So maybe this thread could be moved to Servlets instead of HTML, but it still isn't related to anything on the SCWCD exam.

Moving to servlets....

There is a JSP FAQ entry on this subject.

you want to upload to a physical location or into BLOB table?

chloe,
This post is almost a month old.
It's probably safe to assume that the original poster had solved his problem and moved on.

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

The first screen name you had was valid.
Why did you change it?

oops, sorry. Already changed back my displayed name.
