Uploading from a web page

[Ben Roy]

I have an administration page for a site where I need the user to be able to upload an image from their local drive. Can someone give me some direction on how to do this? I can get as far as putting in a browse button and letting them select the file, but how do I handle this on the server side?

Read the file in . . .
Write the file out . . .
Or am I missing something here?

How do I read a file in from the request object?

Try reading this from the I/O forum.

I think we're still missing something. Let me walk you through a scenario:
Customer_A logs into the web site via Internet Explorer. Let's say the web server is at my site. Customer_A goes into the products administration page and clicks on "add". A form comes up which has fields for product name, description, price, etc. There is also an image field. Next to it is a browse button. They click browse, navigate to the image on *their* computer, then submit the form and the file is uploaded to the *server*. What I'm trying to figure out is, on the page that the form submits to (jsp or servlet) how can I receive that file out of the request object.
