Storing Files

[Patrick McDonogh]

Hi there,

I have a Struts web site where users can upload files to the server hosting the site.
These files can then be downloaded by other users.

I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to store the files on the file system?
For instance is it better to store them all in one directory or multiple directories?

Does anyone know if there are any articles which would explain the best way to store and retrieve these files.

Thanks for the help.

you can store it in database as blob ......but am not sure of the best practice

hi Patrick McDonogh

you can use struts formFile for file uploading

and you can use BufferedinputStream(for the file content) for downloading

that uploaded file content
