Hi,
For uploading file from jsp:
1) Goto javazoom.com, then download latest version for upload the files.
2) Extract the zip & thay giving four jar files
they are:
i)uploadbean.jar
ii)struts.jar
iii)fileupload.jar
iv)cos.jar
put all this jar in lib of u r web application
ex:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\webapps\URWEBAPP\WEB-INF\lib\
3) Set it in class path
4) create one jsp with file option<input type='file' name = 'somename'>
5) In action page(next page)
<%@ page language="java" import="javazoom.upload.*,java.util.*" %>
<%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
<jsp:useBean id="upBean" scope="page" class="javazoom.upload.UploadBean" >
<jsp:setProperty name="upBean" property="folderstore" value="c:/uploads" />
</jsp:useBean>
Set the folder where u want upload the particular file.
MultipartFormDataRequest mrequest = new MultipartFormDataRequest(request);
Hashtable files = mrequest.getFiles();
     UploadFile file = (UploadFile) files.get("somename");//Give name u r given in the previous page.
     String fileName = file.getFileName();     
upBean.store(mrequest, "userFile");
follow this steps it works fine.
