ok, now this is working, this is weird, I did not change anything, and now files are uploading fine..

they upload to wherever I tell it to..  either

         File savedFile = new
 File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/"), fullFile.getName());

or

      File savedFile = new
File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/images"), fullFile.getName());

what I do want to know now is how to upload more than one file at a time, i.e., when you click on "browse" in file input field and get to "choose file" dialogue, is it possible to write code so you can select more than one file at a time? thank you very much.. Frances

Just look at the String returned and you will see what the answer is. Sorry for being so direct, but this how simple an answer to your
question is.


what string?  this one..

File savedFile = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/"), fullFile.getName());
?
if I do


        out.println(fullFile);  // or
    out.println(savedFile);

I get a "can't resolve symbol" error.. actually I can't print anything at all on this page, even a simple test string ( out.println("test"); )
why is he sending strings to be printed to a separate page.. (msg.jsp) why doesn't anything print on this page.. this is frustrating, can't trouble-shoot if nothing on this page prints..... :(


thank you again..  Frances

Hello, I'm just starting out w/jak.commons.FileUpload..

I'm running a bunch of Tomcat webapps successfully, both locally on my
Windows machine (Tomcat 5.0.27) and at server where my website is..
(Tomcat 5.0.25) w/o having to change any code in any of them.. (even one
that connects to a MySQL db, each on their respective servers..)
however, just got started w/j.c.FileUpload, and even though I have
followed directions to the letter as they appear here

www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/06/25/commons.html?page=3

and deployed the app w/o having changed anything at all in
fileuploaddemo.jsp, and have same HTML form as shown in this example,
files simply don't get uploaded..  I don't get errors, get to where I'm
supposed to get after req gets processed, but files don't get uploaded,
and well, not even sure where to look for them..  what exactly does this
line do?

   File savedFile = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/"),
fullFile.getName());

does this path take me to root of app? or where? (b/c uploaded files
don't show up there or anywhere else w/in app..)

(I looked up getRealPath() in Servlet API, it says, "Returns a String
containing the real path for a given virtual path."
pls, what is meant by "given virtual path"?)  would appreciate any
help.. thank you very much...  Frances
