Apache File Upload - which JAR is required?

Anyone tried Apache File Upload, which JAR file needs to be taken into classpath? I couldn't find that on site

Thanks.

The download only has a single jar files that contains classes. The other two files contain the source and the javadocs, as their names imply.

I downloaded 'commons-fileupload-1.2-src.zip' file and it doesn't contain any JAR file.

Is that the same one you took?

The src in src.zip stands for source code.
Download the one that doesn't have src in the name.
That one will contain the needed jar file.

Moving to Other Open Source APIs.

Thanks both of you.

Now I am stuck at this place and finding no suggestion on net.

This is my HTML page:

And this is servlet code:

Now my two problems are:

1. isMultipart is always true because I have added 'enctype' attribute in the form, before it was always false. I suppose it should be decided on the basis of data not on the basis of this attribute.

2. items list has no item always. But I am supplying data in both the input fields.

Please help. Thanks.

I think you need an id for your form fields.

Also, did you grab the 2 required jars(fileupload.jar and the io jar)?
HTH!

It worked. Thanks G.

Is following the right way to implement upload functionality:

I am able to get the file name and file content at server side. Now with some string operations I get the extension then based on the extension I choose the image (icon of doc, ppt, txt, pdf etc) to display to user and I set href to the same kind of file that has the content which I just got, and that is called when clicked on that image.

Hope that is clear.

Is there any better way?

Thanks.

Sounds good, unless you need to offer this file(the one just uploaded) to other users to download. In that case, I would change the mime type to
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
Which would force the download dialog as opposed to opening it up in the browser.
