Uploading images with jsp

[sam barker]

Hi,
I trying to a HTML file which will let me choose 3 file and upload all of them at once.

There are also some text boxes.
<FORM METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="FileUpload.jsp">
File to upload: <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="upfile1"><BR>
File to upload: <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="upfile2"><BR>
File to upload: <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="upfile3"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">

When subit is clicked the files should be stored on the server and the values in the text boxes should go to the db.I got the db part working[the easiest ]But I have no idea how to pass multiple images at once.

hOW CAN I handle this in upload.jsp

I tried it but it giving me a NoClassDefFoundErrorexception.
But I had placed the 3 jar files inside WEB-INF/lib/
