Using a thread to write a file from a servlet

Question

Does anyone have some code that can help out my problem:
I am writing a file from a servlet, but the servlet completes and loads another page prior to the file writing to disk being completed.
I have tried using threads to stop the serlvet until the file has been completely written, but I am not experianced using threads properly, and so far have been unsuccesssful.
I would sure appreciate some/any code to reference to overcome this problem.
Thanks to any responses.

Hi the best idea for you is not to use thread, so that the file processing gets completed before your servlet start doing anything else..
something like this.
public void doGet(     HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
System.out.println("Called Repo");     
BufferedInputStream res = new BufferedInputStream((request.getInputStream()));
     File f= new File("img.jpeg");
     FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);     
          byte b[]=new byte[64];
          int line=res.read(b);
while(line!=-1)
     fo.write(b);
     line=res.read(b);
fo.close();
//your remaining processing from here...
