Struts commons binary file upload issue

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me with uploading binary files using jakarta commons file upload. I've looked at several examples and forums and it seems to work but sometimes the binary files that I upload get corrupted. I have no idea why this might be happening. Here is a snippet of my code.
    UploadFileForm uploadFileForm = (UploadFileForm)form;
    FormFile file = uploadFileForm.getFile();
    String dirName = "/tmp/";
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    OutputStream bos = null;
    inputStream = file.getInputStream();
    bos = new FileOutputStream(dirName + file.getFileName());
    int bytesRead = 0;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
    while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer, 0, 4096)) != -1) {
        bos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    }            Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
PV

FormFile myFile    = myForm.getTheFile();
    byte[] fileData    = myFile.getFileData();
    BufferedReader in = null;
   try{
       in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new   ByteArrayInputStream(fileData)));
       // in = new BufferedReader(new  InputStreamReader(myFile.getInputStream()));
       String str;
        while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(str);
   }catch(Exception exp){
       exp.printStackTrace();
    }finally{
         if(in != null){
            try{
               in.close();
            }catch(Exception ep){
                   ep.printStackTrace();
    } Hope this might help :)

Hope there are no hard and fast issues on this.
