FileUpload fileUpload=new FileUpload();
List fileItemsList = fileUpload.parseRequest(request);
String optionalFileName = "";
FileItem fileItem = null;
Iterator iterator = fileItemsList.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext())
FileItem fileItemTemp = (FileItem)iterator.next();
if (fileItemTemp.isFormField())
String filedName=fileItemTemp.getFieldName();
String fieldValue=fileItemTemp.getString();
System.out.println("fieldName is"+filedName);
System.out.println("fieldValue is"+fieldValue);
if (fileItemTemp.getFieldName().equals("filename"))
optionalFileName = fileItemTemp.getString();
else
fileItem = fileItemTemp;
if (fileItem!=null){
String fileName = fileItem.getName();
System.out.println("fileName from file item is"+fileName);
String contentType=fileItem.getContentType();
String fieldName=fileItem.getFieldName();
long fileSize=fileItem.getSize();
if (fileItem.getSize() > 0){
if (optionalFileName.trim().equals(""))
fileName = (new File(fileName)).getName();
else
fileName = optionalFileName;
String dirName = "/redserver/fileuploads";
System.out.println("directory name is@@@@@@@@@"+dirName);
File saveTo = new File(dirName + fileName);
fileItem.write(saveTo);
ActionForm code:
/** dpmodel property */
private String dpmodel;
/** iattach property */
private FormFile iattach;
/** rattach property */
private FormFile rattach;
/** tinput property */
private String tinput;
/** fattach property */
private FormFile fattach;
private String dattachment;
* @return Returns the dattachment.
public String getDattachment() {
return dattachment;

public void setDattachment(String dattachment) {
this.dattachment = dattachment;

public FormFile getFattach() {
return fattach;
* @param fattach The fattach to set.
public void setFattach(FormFile fattach) {
System.out.println("fileattachment*** from ActionForm"+fattach);
this.fattach = fattach;
