Recommended way to save uploaded files in a servlet application
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am trying to upload some images on folder which locates on my server using servlet/jsp.
Below is my code, which is working on my local machine:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload;
import org.apache.commons.io.output.*;
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
private boolean isMultipart;
private String filePath;
private int maxFileSize = 1000 * 1024;
private int maxMemSize = 1000 * 1024;
private File file ;
public void init( ){
// Get the file location where it would be stored.
filePath =
getServletContext().getInitParameter("file-upload");
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
// Check that we have a file upload request
isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
response.setContentType("text/html");
java.io.PrintWriter out = response.getWriter( );
if( !isMultipart ){
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<p>No file uploaded</p>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
return;
}
DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
// maximum size that will be stored in memory
factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize);
// Location to save data that is larger than maxMemSize.
factory.setRepository(new File(" C:/Users/puneet verma/Downloads/"));
// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
// maximum file size to be uploaded.
upload.setSizeMax( maxFileSize );
try{
// Parse the request to get file items.
List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
// Process the uploaded file items
Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
while ( i.hasNext () )
{
FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
if ( !fi.isFormField () )
{
// Get the uploaded file parameters
String fieldName = fi.getFieldName();
String fileName = fi.getName();
String contentType = fi.getContentType();
boolean isInMemory = fi.isInMemory();
long sizeInBytes = fi.getSize();
// Write the file
if( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\") >= 0 ){
file = new File( filePath +
fileName.substring( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\"))) ;
}else{
file = new File( filePath +
fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("\\")+1)) ;
}
fi.write( file ) ;
out.println("Uploaded Filename: " + fileName + "<br>");
}
}
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
throw new ServletException("GET method used with " +
getClass( ).getName( )+": POST method required.");
}
}
Now my jsp code, where i upload file:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" size="50" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
In My web.xml file, I've included path like this:
<context-param>
<description>Location to store uploaded file</description>
<param-name>file-upload</param-name>
<param-value>
C:\Users\puneet verma\Downloads\
</param-value>
</context-param>
I've used my server path http://grand-shopping.com/<"some folder"> , but it's not working here at all.
Libraries i'm using are:
commons-fileupload-1.3.jar
commons-io-2.2.jar
Can anyone suggest me , how exactly i need to define my server path, in order to upload images successfully.

Below code is working on my live server as well as in my own Lapy.
Note:
Please Create data folder in WebContent and put in any single image or any file(jsp or html file).
Add jar files
commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
commons-io-2.1.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

You cannot upload like this.
http://grand-shopping.com/<"some folder">
You need a physical path exactly like in your local
C:/Users/puneet verma/Downloads/
What you can do is create some local path where your server is working. Hence you can store and retrieve the file. If you bought some domain from any websites there will be path to upload the files. You create these variable as static constant and use it based on the server you are working (Local/Website).

You can only use absolute path
http://grand-shopping.com/<"some folder"> is not an absolute path.
Either you can use a path inside the application which is vurneable
or you can use server specific path like in
windows -> C:/Users/puneet verma/Downloads/
linux -> /opt/Downloads/

I found the similar problem and found the solution and i have blogged about how to upload the file using JSP , In that example i have used the absolute path. Note that if you want to route to some other URL based location you can put a ESB like WSO2 ESB

How to manage html webs after upload file to servlet?

I am developing a web application in which I have an Index.jsp with a form to upload a file to the servlet:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
import="com.uteva.AppWebNieve.ProcesadoExcel"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" lang="es" xml:lang="es">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-
8859-1">

</meta>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input value="Subir Excel" type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Then I upload correctly the file with my java class:
#Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest
request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException{
//***************AQUI MANEJAMOS LA SUBIDA DEL FICHERO LINCES DE INCIDENCIAS***********************
// Get the file location where it would be stored.
//String filePath = getServletContext().getInitParameter("file-upload");
boolean isMultipart;
int maxFileSize = 10000 * 1024;
int maxMemSize = 1000 * 1024;
File file ;
// Check that we have a file upload request
isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
response.setContentType("text/html");
java.io.PrintWriter out = response.getWriter( );
if( !isMultipart ){ //No se ha podido subir el fichero
/*out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<p>No file uploaded</p>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");*/
return;
}
DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
// maximum size that will be stored in memory
factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize);
// Location to save data that is larger than maxMemSize.
factory.setRepository(new File("c:\\temp"));
// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
// maximum file size to be uploaded.
upload.setSizeMax( maxFileSize );
try{
// Parse the request to get file items.
List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
// Process the uploaded file items
Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
while ( i.hasNext () )
{
FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
if ( !fi.isFormField () )
{
// Get the uploaded file parameters
String fieldName = fi.getFieldName();
String fileName = fi.getName();
String contentType = fi.getContentType();
boolean isInMemory = fi.isInMemory();
long sizeInBytes = fi.getSize();
// Write the file
if( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\") >= 0 ){
file = new File( filename +
fileName.substring( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\"))) ;
}else{
file = new File( filename +
fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("\\")+1)) ;
}
fi.write( file ) ;
out.println("Uploaded Filename: " + fileName + "<br>");
System.out.println("Fichero "+filename+" subido correctamente al servidor!!");
}
}
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
But after uploading, this open a new simple html which is built in the previously java method by out.println...
The point is, how I can manage this upload to stay in the same html knowing whether the file has been uploaded or not to do some other things with this file? I cannot use get method to upload files and let form action blank...
Or, opening a new html, there must be another way for make a more complex html than using out.println in Java function....
thanks.
Finally I solved it using AJAX following this tutorial: http://www.programming-free.com/2013/06/ajax-file-upload-java-iframe.html

How to convert absolute path to a relative path so that it can be referenced from an img tag? java web

Creating a web application that lets users upload images.
The code works but having trouble understanding how to get the images in a relative path so that it can be referenced from an img src="" tag?
So far the code takes the multipart request and stores the file in an absolute path on server but this cannot be referenced from an < img > tag..
Any ideas on how to go about this?

Figured it out after reading this link
If you have full control over the images folder, then just drop the
folder with all images, e.g. /images directly in servletcontainer's
deploy folder, such as the /webapps folder in case of Tomcat and
/domains/domain1/applications folder in case of GlassFish. No further
configuration is necessary.
literally drag and drop the file into the web application folder in your ide.
then you do this

how to process file from a java process uploaded using servlets

I've developed a Java servlet (tomcat 6.0) that handles file upload to server from client. Thus far, all my javaapp can do right now is upload a file. I've coded another java application which scans the file (excel document, apachi POI), and parse specific information from it, then prints out the info.
The goal is basically to use the uploaded file, then call the java program to process the file. Then spit out the data from java console (the results) to the HTML page.
Here's my code for the servlet. I followed this tutorial to make this.
Servlet:
package net.codejava.upload;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

import org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload;
/**

public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static final String UPLOAD_DIRECTORY = "upload";

Can someone please walk me through on what to do now, on how to call the separate java program I made (code not posted here) to process the file, then get it to spit out the data from java console (the results) to the 'message' HTML jsp page? I've looked everywhere and cannot found out how to resolve this issue. It's driving me crazy.
First you need to create one method which returns String and takes String as argument.
public String getContent(String filePath) {
// logic goes here
}
You already created one class for that inside you need to create this method.
Then you need to change some parts of servlet:
Declare a variable String fileName = ""; in doPost method and change
if (!item.isFormField()) {
String fileName = new File(item.getName()).getName();
to
if (!item.isFormField()) {
fileName = new File(item.getName()).getName(); // remove String
Call your class after while loop (Let say FilterData is your class name)
while (iter.hasNext()) {
// Code
}
FilterData fd = new FilterData();
String data = fd.getData(uploadPath + "//" + fileName);
request.setAttribute("message", data);
And remove
request.setAttribute("message", "Upload has been done successfully!");
Hope this helps!!!
If you wrote the other java code, just include the class in your project: instantiate the class and pass it the file. Here in your servlet where you write the file to disk
// saves the file on disk
item.write(storeFile);
You can instantiate your class and pass it the File object, or the path of the file.

Jsp doesn't show swf File

I have a Webproject with JavaEE (Tomcat, Jsp, Servlets)
I want to Show a SWF in my Jsp Page (game.jsp). For doing this i Need a Servlet, which is this:
package src;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import util.SystemEnviroement;
/**
* Servlet implementation class ImageServlet
*/
#WebServlet("/ImageServlet")
public class ImageServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* #see HttpServlet#HttpServlet()
*/
public ImageServlet() {
super();
}
/**
* #see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
* response)
*/
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
String imageName = request.getParameter("imageName");
SystemEnviroement env = new SystemEnviroement();
String filename = env.gameFolder + "/" + imageName;
// Get the MIME type of the image
String mimeType = sc.getMimeType(filename);
if (mimeType == null) {
// sc.log("Could not get MIME type of " + filename);
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
return;
}
// Set content type
response.setContentType(mimeType);
// Set content size
File file = new File(filename);
response.setContentLength((int) file.length());
// Open the file and output streams
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
// Copy the contents of the file to the output stream
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count = 0;
while ((count = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, count);
}
in.close();
out.close();
}
}
My game.jsp is this:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"
pageEncoding="utf-8"%>
<%# page import="util.*"%>
<%# page import="constants.*"%>
<%# page import="java.io.IOException"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html >
<head>
<jsp:include page='header.jsp'/>
<%
String gamename = (String) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri");
int index_name = gamename.lastIndexOf("/");
gamename = gamename.substring(index_name+1,gamename.length());
%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body style="background-color:#630592;
background-repeat:no-repeat;"
>
<div class="body">
<%
try {
//SystemEnviroment wird im Konstruktor gesetzt
SystemEnviroement en = new SystemEnviroement();
String datei = en.imageViewPath + gamename +".swf";
%>
<div class=gameswf>
<a> <embed src='<%=datei %>' > </embed> </a>
</div>
<%
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
%>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So i have debugged my Project, all thinks Looks well. But after calling the Servlet, the game.jsp doesn't Show the SWF File.
The htmltext(sourcecode) also Looks well, but the game.jsp doesn't Show the SWF File:
<div class=gameswf>
<a> <embed src='http://localhost:8080/Game/imageView?imageName=3-pandas.swf'> </embed> </a>
</div>
If i call this URL in my running web Project "http://localhost:8080/Game/imageView?imageName=3-pandas.swf", i can sell the SWF File and all is fine.
Do you have any idea why the jsp page doesn't Show my SWF File. If i go to the Internet explorer add ons, i can also see that Shockwave Flash Object is loading.
Thanks for helping !
This is the Image from ie 11 network monitoring feature from developer Tools:
I suggest you to create an html file (with html extension) and write the code you expect from the jsp to generate.
Once you make the swf work in html file, it will be a piece of cake to develop the proper jsp code in order to generate that html file.
