Receiving a stream from a jsp

[Rajesh Khan]

Hi i am using a 3rd party library for asynch upload of a file(pic). The JS library sends the file as a data stream

 
  xhr.open("POST", queryString, true);
  xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
  xhr.setRequestHeader("X-File-Name", encodeURIComponent(name));
  xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");
  xhr.send(file);

How can i save this file to a physical location path(say d:\pic.jpg)

What's in file? And why are you setting the X-Requested-With header? XHR will handle that.

Technical nit: once the page gets to the browser, it's not a JSP, it's an HTML page like any other. So you are not receiving anything from a JSP, but from an HTML page.

Thanks for correcting me. BTW its a 3rd party library and thats how it is in the code. Its a picture file. Basically i am trying to upload a picture from the HTML page asynch. and upload it to a DB.
The JS open source widget allows me to select a file and asynch. send it to the server in this case a servlet.

Problem solved used getInputStream from request and then used OutputStream to write to a file..
