MultipartRequest cannot be resolved to a type

Hi, I am trying to upload an image to database. Prior to that , I am just making the temporary file from where it will be stored in the table.

But I am getting this error.

MultipartRequest cannot be resolved to a type

Here are my codes .

1) The JSP file in which I am taking the image input.

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*,com.oreilly.servlet.*" %>

<%
String rtempfile = File.createTempFile("temp","1").getParent(); 
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, rtempfile, 900000 * 1024); 
File rnewfile=null;
rnewfile = new File(File.separator+"home"+File.separator+"Shounak"+File.separator+"Desktop"); 
if(rnewfile.exists()){
}else{
rnewfile.mkdirs();
}
File f = multi.getFile("file");
System.out.println(f.getName());
FileInputStream fin =new FileInputStream(f);
RandomAccessFile r = new RandomAccessFile(rnewfile+File.separator+f.getName(),"rw");
String filename = f.getName();
// FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(rnewfile);
byte sizefile[] = new byte[5000000];
fin.read(sizefile);
// fos.write(sizefile);
r.write(sizefile);
//fos.close();
r.close();
fin.close();

%>

<%--
Connection connection = null;
String connectionURL = "jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/DB2_TEST";;
ResultSet rs = null;
PreparedStatement psmnt = null;
FileInputStream fis;
try {
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver").newInstance();
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "db2inst1", "9231827765");
File f = new File(saveFile);
psmnt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into photo (file_data) values(?)");
//psmnt.setString(1,saveFile);
fis = new FileInputStream(f);
psmnt.setBinaryStream(1, (InputStream)fis, (int)(f.length()));
int s = psmnt.executeUpdate();
if(s>0) {
System.out.println("Uploaded successfully !");
}
else{
System.out.println("unsucessfull to upload file.");
}
}
catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
--%>

Am not sure if you copied it wrong here- Should the METHOD be not "POST" instead of POST?

Step 1: move all of the Java code out of the JSP and into a Servlet where it belongs. This is a gross misuse of technology. JSPs are for creating text views like HTML, not processing files.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION= "upload.jsp" METHOD=POST> 

<BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION= "upload.jsp" METHOD=POST>

Actually I was wrong to copy. It is "POST".

So, is there any way out ?

I see that you are using some external package- com.oreilly.servlet.* - Do you have this jar in your classpath? And MultipartRequest is mostly from that package.

yes, I have the jar file in my classpath.

I am using Eclipse editor.

Can you paste the complete exception Stack trace?
