Hi.I have a problem with my jsp code.Whenever i try to upload a file, other than image file,all other files are getting uploaded.For images,it is displayed as invalid image

my form is
<%@ page language="java" %>
<HTml>
<HEAD><TITLE>Display file upload form to the user</TITLE></HEAD>
<% // for uploading the file we used Encrypt type of multipart/form-data and input of file type to browse and submit the file %>
<BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="fileupload.jsp" METHOD=POST>
<br><br><br>
<center><table border="2" >
<tr><center><td colspan="2"><p align="center"><B>PROGRAM FOR UPLOADING THE FILE</B><center></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Choose the file To Upload:</b></td>
<td><INPUT NAME="F1" TYPE="file"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"><p align="right"><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload File" ></p></td></tr>
<table>
</center>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

my jsp file is:

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
//to get the content type information from JSP Request Header
String contentType = request.getContentType();
//here we are checking the content type is not equal to Null and as well as the passed data from mulitpart/form-data is greater than or equal to 0
if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
//we are taking the length of Content type data
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
//this loop converting the uploaded file into byte code
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead, formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}

String file = new String(dataBytes);
//for saving the file name
String saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\")+ 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
int lastIndex = contentType.lastIndexOf("=");
String boundary = contentType.substring(lastIndex + 1,contentType.length());
int pos;
//extracting the index of file
pos = file.indexOf("filename=\"");
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
int boundaryLocation = file.indexOf(boundary, pos) - 4;
int startPos = ((file.substring(0, pos)).getBytes()).length;
int endPos = ((file.substring(0, boundaryLocation)).getBytes()).length;

// creating a new file with the same name and writing the content in new file
try{
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("/home/inkntcom/public_html/files/"+saveFile);
fileOut.write(dataBytes,0,formDataLength);
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){
out.println("The error is "+ex);
}
%><Br><table border="2"><tr><td><b>You have successfully upload the file by the name of:</b>
<% out.println(saveFile); %></td></tr></table> <%
}
%>

Step 1 is to move the upload Java code out of the JSP and into a servlet. This is misuse of JSPs.

Once you've done that please repost the code and be sure to UseCodeTags so that the code is readable.
