How to upload multiple files into a server location at a single time

Question

Hi All,
In my application i need to send multiple files from a particular page into the server location. In this page there will be an option to upload a file and after selecting the file , we will have an option asking if we were interested to send another file. It works just similar to google mail where we can multiple files at the same time. Right now though i had coded the uploading files concept i am facing some problems when trying to upload multiple files. All the files are being appended to a single file but i want them to be placed as different files at the specified location. Plz help me in this regard...
Thanks in advance................,,

Hi,
i am sending the code in my prg. Have a look at it.
var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
In the above line i am specyfying that the maximum no. of files to be uploaded is 3. So if i upload less than 3 files, the program doesn't work and is not reading the uploaded files. If i upload 3 files it works fine. So please suggest me how to make this work irrespective of the no. of files uploaded using apache commons.
My code is as follows:
<form action="./servlet/Sample" method = "post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <!-- The file element -- NOTE: it has an ID -->
     <input id="my_file_element" type="file" name="file_1" >
     <input type="submit" name="submit1" value="submit">
</form>
Files:
<!-- This is where the output will appear -->
<div id="files_list"></div>
<script>
     <!-- Create an instance of the multiSelector class, pass it the output target and the max number of files -->
     var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
     <!-- Pass in the file element -->
     multi_selector.addElement( document.getElementById( 'my_file_element' ) );
</script>
