FileInputStream problem

Question

I have a problem for inserting image to database from my client machine to server machine. In my webapplication I use the following implamentation using jsp:
page: upload.jsp
<form id="myform" name="myform" method="post" action="uploadprocess.jsp">
Attach: <input type="file" name="attach"/>
<input type="submit" name="BtnSend" value="Send" />
</form>
page: uploadprocess.jsp
File anexo = new File(attach);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(attach);
[..] //here I have more codes that are ok...
the problema is:
when I'm using my webapplication in server machine (where java application server is running), it works perfect when the code line "FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(attach);" is read, because the application can recognize the path passed in var "attach". But, where I'm using in another client machine, where the webapplication isn't running, this recognize the file system of the server machine and not the client (local) machine....
Could anybody help me to solve this problem?!

Answer 1

I believe your problem is how you're trying to access the file... You should be accessing it via a data stream, not it's filename!
Anyway, have a look at the following link, you should find it useful.
