I am setting up windows phone 8.1 push notification with urbanairship. I have SID and Secret key for my app. But when i do following step mentioned in dev.windows WNS-->Live Service site:
To set your application's identity values manually, open the
AppManifest.xml file in a text editor and set these attributes of the
element using the values shown here.
my application is stop working. is any one provide me steps for set up WNS in windows phone 8.1 then it helps me a lot, I spend over the week on this and now really frustrating.
I got success with Push Notification in Windows Phone 8.1/ Windows Apps (Universal Apps). I have implemented sending Push Notification to devices from our own Web Service.
Step 1: Get the Client Secret and Package SID from the dev.windows.com >> Services >> Live Services. You'll need these later in Web Service.
Step 2: In your Windows App, you have to associate your app with the Store. For that, Right click on project >> Store >> Associate App with the Store. Log in with your Dev account and associate your app.
Step 3
You'll need a Channel Uri.
In the MainPage.xaml, add a Button and a Textblock to get your Channel Uri.
XAML Code looks like this:
<Page
x:Class="FinalPushNotificationTest.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:FinalPushNotificationTest"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Push Notification" Margin="20,48,10,0" Style="{StaticResource HeaderTextBlockStyle}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Margin="20,10,10,0">
<StackPanel x:Name="resultsPanel">
<Button x:Name="PushChannelBtn" Content="Get Channel Uri" Click="PushChannelBtn_Click" />
<ProgressBar x:Name="ChannelProgress" IsIndeterminate="False" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<TextBlock x:Name="ChannelText" FontSize="22" />
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
Step 4:
In the MainPage.xaml.cs page, Add the following code snippet i.e. for the Button Click Event. When you run your app, you'll get the Channel Uri in the Console Window. Note down this Channel Uri, you'll need that in Web Service.
private async void PushChannelBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var channel = await PushNotificationChannelManager.CreatePushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();
ChannelText.Text = channel.Uri.ToString();
Debug.WriteLine(channel.Uri);
}
Step 5:
Now You need a Web Service to send push notification to your device. For that Right Click on your project in Solution Explorer. Add >> New Project >> Visual C# >> Web >> ASP.NET Web Application. Click OK, On Template select Empty. After that Add a new Web Form in your Web Application. Name it SendToast.
Step 6:
Now In the SendToast.aspx.cs, you need to implement methods and functions to get the Access Token using Package SID, Client Secret and Channel Uri. Add your Package SID, Cleint Secret, and Channel Uriin respective places.
The complete code looks like the following code snippet:
using Microsoft.ServiceBus.Notifications;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace SendToast
{
public partial class SendToast : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private string sid = "Your Package SID";
private string secret = "Your Client Secret";
private string accessToken = "";
[DataContract]
public class OAuthToken
{
[DataMember(Name = "access_token")]
public string AccessToken { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "token_type")]
public string TokenType { get; set; }
}
OAuthToken GetOAuthTokenFromJson(string jsonString)
{
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(jsonString)))
{
var ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(OAuthToken));
var oAuthToken = (OAuthToken)ser.ReadObject(ms);
return oAuthToken;
}
}
public void getAccessToken()
{
var urlEncodedSid = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(String.Format("{0}", this.sid));
var urlEncodedSecret = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(this.secret);
var body =
String.Format("grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={0}&client_secret={1}&scope=notify.windows.com", urlEncodedSid, urlEncodedSecret);
var client = new WebClient();
client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
string response = client.UploadString("https://login.live.com/accesstoken.srf", body);
var oAuthToken = GetOAuthTokenFromJson(response);
this.accessToken = oAuthToken.AccessToken;
}
protected string PostToCloud(string uri, string xml, string type = "wns/toast")
{
try
{
if (accessToken == "")
{
getAccessToken();
}
byte[] contentInBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml);
WebRequest webRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(uri);
HttpWebRequest request = webRequest as HttpWebRequest;
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.Headers.Add("X-WNS-Type", type);
webRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", accessToken));
Stream requestStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(contentInBytes, 0, contentInBytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
return webResponse.StatusCode.ToString();
}
catch (WebException webException)
{
string exceptionDetails = webException.Response.Headers["WWW-Authenticate"];
if ((exceptionDetails != null) && exceptionDetails.Contains("Token expired"))
{
getAccessToken();
return PostToCloud(uri, xml, type);
}
else
{
return "EXCEPTION: " + webException.Message;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return "EXCEPTION: " + ex.Message;
}
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string channelUri = "Your Channel Uri";
if (Application["channelUri"] != null)
{
Application["channelUri"] = channelUri;
}
else
{
Application.Add("channelUri", channelUri);
}
if (Application["channelUri"] != null)
{
string aStrReq = Application["channelUri"] as string;
string toast1 = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?> ";
string toast2 = #"<toast>
<visual>
<binding template=""ToastText01"">
<text id=""1"">Hello Push Notification!!</text>
</binding>
</visual>
</toast>";
string xml = toast1 + toast2;
Response.Write("Result: " + PostToCloud(aStrReq, xml));
}
else
{
Response.Write("Application 'channelUri=' has not been set yet");
}
Response.End();
}
}
}
Run your web application, you'll get the Result OK response if it successfully sends push notification.
Let me know if you need working sample project.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I am using strust2 and tiles for my project. Here is the code (jsp) for entering an ID.
<s:textfield name="uniqueID" label="Enter Unique ID" required="required"/>
Here is the action file.
public String execute() throws Exception{
SearchDao.search(selectedID,uniqueID);
return SUCCESS;
}
The dao will retrieve image.
try{
.
.
.
rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()){
InputStream originalImageStream = rs.getBinaryStream(1);
File file = new File("Retina"+".jpg");
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
while ((length = originalImageStream.read()) != -1) {
fileOutputStream.write(length);
}
fileOutputStream.close();
}
else{
return null;
}
}
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return "found";
Once the image is found this will return found and so action file will return success. Code in struts.xml is
<action name="search" class="com.ActionClasses.SearchAction">
<result name="success" type="tiles"> found </result>
<result name="input" type="tiles"> search </result>
<result name="error" type="tiles"> notFound </result>
</action>
here is the tiles.xml file.
<definition name="found" extends="home">
<put-attribute name="myTitle" value="searchSuccess"/>
<put-attribute name="myBody" value="/found.jsp"/>
</definition>
Now how can I display the retrieved image in found.jsp. I found some solutions in Internet but only for projects that uses struts2 or struts2 along with hibernate. I didn't find any solution for projects that use both strus2 and tiles. Can anyone help me. Thank you.
Try this out ... I have implemented the similar scenario in one of my projects but in spring, I guess it should work for you with little changes
This is what I had implemented. I created a controller (aka action in struts) like below
#RequestMapping(value = "view", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void getImage(#RequestParam(value = "location") String location, HttpServletResponse response) {
String ext = FilenameUtils.getExtension(location);
response.setContentType("image/"+ext);
try {
File file = new File(location);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
OutputStream baos = response.getOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(image, ext, baos);
baos.flush();
baos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
logger.error("File Not Found: " + location, e);
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("Can't read the File: " + location, e);
} catch(Exception e) {
logger.error("Can't read input file: " + location, e);
}
return;
}
And then in the controller/action that server the actual view I did something like this
final String IMAGE_RESOLVER = "../../image/view?location=";
Game game = gameService.populateGame(gameId);
if(game.getThumbnailPath() != null) {
game.setThumbnailPath(IMAGE_RESOLVER.concat(game.getThumbnailPath()));
}
mv.addObject("game", game); // set object to return to view
When the DOM object with name "thumbnail" receives this string it calls the action mentioned above which returns it an image
Hope this works for you
How can I upload files to server using JSP/Servlet?
I tried this:
<form action="upload" method="post">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
However, I only get the file name, not the file content. When I add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the <form>, then request.getParameter() returns null.
During research I stumbled upon Apache Common FileUpload. I tried this:
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
List items = upload.parseRequest(request); // This line is where it died.
Unfortunately, the servlet threw an exception without a clear message and cause. Here is the stacktrace:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet UploadServlet threw exception

Introduction
To browse and select a file for upload you need a HTML <input type="file"> field in the form. As stated in the HTML specification you have to use the POST method and the enctype attribute of the form has to be set to "multipart/form-data".
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
After submitting such a form, the binary multipart form data is available in the request body in a different format than when the enctype isn't set.
Before Servlet 3.0 (Dec 2009), the Servlet API didn't natively support multipart/form-data. It supports only the default form enctype of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The request.getParameter() and consorts would all return null when using multipart form data. This is where the well known Apache Commons FileUpload came into the picture.
Don't manually parse it!
You can in theory parse the request body yourself based on ServletRequest#getInputStream(). However, this is a precise and tedious work which requires precise knowledge of RFC2388. You shouldn't try to do this on your own or copypaste some homegrown library-less code found elsewhere on the Internet. Many online sources have failed hard in this, such as roseindia.net. See also uploading of pdf file. You should rather use a real library which is used (and implicitly tested!) by millions of users for years. Such a library has proven its robustness.
When you're already on Servlet 3.0 or newer, use native API
If you're using at least Servlet 3.0 (Tomcat 7, Jetty 9, JBoss AS 6, GlassFish 3, etc, they exist already since 2010), then you can just use standard API provided HttpServletRequest#getPart() to collect the individual multipart form data items (most Servlet 3.0 implementations actually use Apache Commons FileUpload under the covers for this!). Also, normal form fields are available by getParameter() the usual way.
First annotate your servlet with #MultipartConfig in order to let it recognize and support multipart/form-data requests and thus get getPart() to work:
#WebServlet("/upload")
#MultipartConfig
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
// ...
}
Then, implement its doPost() as follows:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String description = request.getParameter("description"); // Retrieves <input type="text" name="description">
Part filePart = request.getPart("file"); // Retrieves <input type="file" name="file">
String fileName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
Note the Path#getFileName(). This is a MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
In case you want to upload multiple files via either multiple="true",
<input type="file" name="files" multiple="true" />
or the old-fashioned way with multiple inputs,
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="file" name="files" />
...
then you can collect them as below (unfortunately there is no such method as request.getParts("files")):
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// ...
List<Part> fileParts = request.getParts().stream().filter(part -> "files".equals(part.getName()) && part.getSize() > 0).collect(Collectors.toList()); // Retrieves <input type="file" name="files" multiple="true">
for (Part filePart : fileParts) {
String fileName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
}
When you're not on Servlet 3.1 yet, manually get submitted file name
Note that Part#getSubmittedFileName() was introduced in Servlet 3.1 (Tomcat 8, Jetty 9, WildFly 8, GlassFish 4, etc, they exist since 2013 already). If you're not on Servlet 3.1 yet (really?), then you need an additional utility method to obtain the submitted file name.
private static String getSubmittedFileName(Part part) {
for (String cd : part.getHeader("content-disposition").split(";")) {
if (cd.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
String fileName = cd.substring(cd.indexOf('=') + 1).trim().replace("\"", "");
return fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1); // MSIE fix.
}
}
return null;
}
String fileName = getSubmittedFileName(filePart);
Note the MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
When you're not on Servlet 3.0 yet, use Apache Commons FileUpload
If you're not on Servlet 3.0 yet (isn't it about time to upgrade? it's released over a decade ago!), the common practice is to make use of Apache Commons FileUpload to parse the multpart form data requests. It has an excellent User Guide and FAQ (carefully go through both). There's also the O'Reilly ("cos") MultipartRequest, but it has some (minor) bugs and isn't actively maintained anymore for years. I wouldn't recommend using it. Apache Commons FileUpload is still actively maintained and currently very mature.
In order to use Apache Commons FileUpload, you need to have at least the following files in your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib:
commons-fileupload.jar
commons-io.jar
Your initial attempt failed most likely because you forgot the commons IO.
Here's a kickoff example how the doPost() of your UploadServlet may look like when using Apache Commons FileUpload:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
List<FileItem> items = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory()).parseRequest(request);
for (FileItem item : items) {
if (item.isFormField()) {
// Process regular form field (input type="text|radio|checkbox|etc", select, etc).
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fieldValue = item.getString();
// ... (do your job here)
} else {
// Process form file field (input type="file").
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(item.getName());
InputStream fileContent = item.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
}
} catch (FileUploadException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot parse multipart request.", e);
}
// ...
}
It's very important that you don't call getParameter(), getParameterMap(), getParameterValues(), getInputStream(), getReader(), etc on the same request beforehand. Otherwise the servlet container will read and parse the request body and thus Apache Commons FileUpload will get an empty request body. See also a.o. ServletFileUpload#parseRequest(request) returns an empty list.
Note the FilenameUtils#getName(). This is a MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
Alternatively you can also wrap this all in a Filter which parses it all automagically and put the stuff back in the parametermap of the request so that you can continue using request.getParameter() the usual way and retrieve the uploaded file by request.getAttribute(). You can find an example in this blog article.
Workaround for GlassFish3 bug of getParameter() still returning null
Note that Glassfish versions older than 3.1.2 had a bug wherein the getParameter() still returns null. If you are targeting such a container and can't upgrade it, then you need to extract the value from getPart() with help of this utility method:
private static String getValue(Part part) throws IOException {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(part.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
StringBuilder value = new StringBuilder();
char[] buffer = new char[1024];
for (int length = 0; (length = reader.read(buffer)) > 0;) {
value.append(buffer, 0, length);
}
return value.toString();
}
String description = getValue(request.getPart("description")); // Retrieves <input type="text" name="description">

Ajaxifying the form
Head to the following answers how to upload using Ajax (and jQuery). Do note that the servlet code to collect the form data does not need to be changed for this! Only the way how you respond may be changed, but this is rather trivial (i.e. instead of forwarding to JSP, just print some JSON or XML or even plain text depending on whatever the script responsible for the Ajax call is expecting).
How can I upload files to a server using JSP/Servlet and Ajax?
Send a file as multipart through XMLHttpRequest
HTML5 drag and drop file upload to Java Servlet
Hope this all helps :)
If you happen to use Spring MVC, this is how to (I'm leaving this here in case someone find it useful):
Use a form with enctype attribute set to "multipart/form-data" (the same as BalusC's answer):
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
In your controller, map the request parameter file to MultipartFile type as follows:
#RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void handleUpload(#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes(); // alternatively, file.getInputStream();
// application logic
}
}
You can get the filename and size using MultipartFile's getOriginalFilename() and getSize().
I've tested this with Spring version 4.1.1.RELEASE.
Without components or external libraries in Tomcat 6 or Tomcat 7
Enabling upload in the web.xml file:
Manually Installing PHP, Tomcat and Httpd Lounge.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<multipart-config>
<max-file-size>3145728</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>5242880</max-request-size>
</multipart-config>
<init-param>

<init-param>
<param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>

As you can see:
<multipart-config>
<max-file-size>3145728</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>5242880</max-request-size>
</multipart-config>
Uploading files using JSP. files:
In the HTML file
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Form" >
<input type="file" name="fFoto" id="fFoto" value="" /></td>
<input type="file" name="fResumen" id="fResumen" value=""/>
In the JSP File or Servlet
InputStream isFoto = request.getPart("fFoto").getInputStream();
InputStream isResu = request.getPart("fResumen").getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte buf[] = new byte[8192];
int qt = 0;
while ((qt = isResu.read(buf)) != -1) {
baos.write(buf, 0, qt);
}
String sResumen = baos.toString();
Edit your code to servlet requirements, like max-file-size, max-request-size and other options that you can to set...
You need the common-io.1.4.jar file to be included in your lib directory, or if you're working in any editor, like NetBeans, then you need to go to project properties and just add the JAR file and you will be done.
To get the common.io.jar file just google it or just go to the Apache Tomcat website where you get the option for a free download of this file. But remember one thing: download the binary ZIP file if you're a Windows user.
I am using a common Servlet for every HTML form whether it has attachments or not.
This Servlet returns a TreeMap where the keys are JSP name parameters and values are user inputs and saves all attachments in a fixed directory and later you rename the directory of your choice. Here Connections is our custom interface having a connection object.
public class ServletCommonfunctions extends HttpServlet implements
Connections {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public ServletCommonfunctions() {}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {}
public SortedMap<String, String> savefilesindirectory(
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException {
// Map<String, String> key_values = Collections.synchronizedMap(new
// TreeMap<String, String>());
SortedMap<String, String> key_values = new TreeMap<String, String>();
String dist = null, fact = null;
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
File file;
String filePath = "E:\\FSPATH1\\2KL06CS048\\";
System.out.println("Directory Created ????????????"
+ new File(filePath).mkdir());
int maxFileSize = 5000 * 1024;
int maxMemSize = 5000 * 1024;
// Verify the content type
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if ((contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {
DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
// Maximum size that will be stored in memory
factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize);
// Location to save data that is larger than maxMemSize.
factory.setRepository(new File(filePath));
// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
// maximum file size to be uploaded.
upload.setSizeMax(maxFileSize);
try {
// Parse the request to get file items.
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<FileItem> fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
// Process the uploaded file items
Iterator<FileItem> i = fileItems.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
FileItem fi = (FileItem) i.next();
if (!fi.isFormField()) {
// Get the uploaded file parameters
String fileName = fi.getName();
// Write the file
if (fileName.lastIndexOf("\\") >= 0) {
file = new File(filePath
+ fileName.substring(fileName
.lastIndexOf("\\")));
} else {
file = new File(filePath
+ fileName.substring(fileName
.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1));
}
fi.write(file);
} else {
key_values.put(fi.getFieldName(), fi.getString());
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
return key_values;
}
}
For Spring MVC
I managed to have a simpler version that worked for taking form input, both data and images.
<form action="/handleform" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Controller to handle
#Controller
public class FormController {
#RequestMapping(value="/handleform",method= RequestMethod.POST)
ModelAndView register(#RequestParam String name, #RequestParam int age, #RequestParam MultipartFile file)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println(name);
System.out.println(age);
if(!file.isEmpty()){
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
String filename = file.getOriginalFilename();
BufferedOutputStream stream =new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("D:/" + filename)));
stream.write(bytes);
stream.flush();
stream.close();
}
return new ModelAndView("index");
}
}
Another source of this problem occurs if you are using Geronimo with its embedded Tomcat. In this case, after many iterations of testing Commons IO and commons-fileupload, the problem arises from a parent classloader handling the commons-xxx JAR files. This has to be prevented. The crash always occurred at:
fileItems = uploader.parseRequest(request);
Note that the List type of fileItems has changed with the current version of commons-fileupload to be specifically List<FileItem> as opposed to prior versions where it was generic List.
I added the source code for commons-fileupload and Commons IO into my Eclipse project to trace the actual error and finally got some insight. First, the exception thrown is of type Throwable not the stated FileIOException nor even Exception (these will not be trapped). Second, the error message is obfuscatory in that it stated class not found because axis2 could not find commons-io. Axis2 is not used in my project at all, but it exists as a folder in the Geronimo repository subdirectory as part of standard installation.
Finally, I found one place that posed a working solution which successfully solved my problem. You must hide the JAR files from the parent loader in the deployment plan. This was put into the geronimo-web.xml file with my full file shown below.

Here's an example using apache commons-fileupload:
// apache commons-fileupload to handle file upload
DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
factory.setRepository(new File(DataSources.TORRENTS_DIR()));
ServletFileUpload fileUpload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
List<FileItem> items = fileUpload.parseRequest(req.raw());
FileItem item = items.stream()
.filter(e ->
"the_upload_name".equals(e.getFieldName()))
.findFirst().get();
String fileName = item.getName();
item.write(new File(dir, fileName));
log.info(fileName);
You first have to set the enctype attribute of the form to "multipart/form-data"
This is shown below.
<form action="Controller" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label class="file-upload"> Click here to upload an Image </label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" required>
</form>
And then, in the Servlet "Controller" add the Annotation for a Multi-part to indicate multipart data is processed in the servlet.
After doing this, retrieve the part sent through the form and then retrieve the file name (with path)of the submitted file. Use this to create a new file in the desired path and write the parts of the file to the newly created file to recreate the file.
As shown below:
#MultipartConfig
public class Controller extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
insertImage(request, response);
}
private void addProduct(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
Part filePart = request.getPart("file");
String imageName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString();
String imageSavePath = "specify image path to save image"; //path to save image
FileOutputStream outputStream = null;
InputStream fileContent = null;
try {
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(imageSavePath + File.separator + imageName));
// Creating a new file with file path and the file name
fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// Getting the input stream
int readBytes = 0;
byte[] readArray = new byte[1024];
// Initializing a byte array with size 1024
while ((readBytes = fileContent.read(readArray)) != -1) {
outputStream.write(readArray, 0, readBytes);
} // This loop will write the contents of the byte array unitl the end to the output stream
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error Writing File: " + ex);
} finally {
if (outputStream != null) {
outputStream.close();
// Closing the output stream
}
if (fileContent != null) {
fileContent.close();
// Closing the input stream
}
}
}
}
The simplest way I could come up with for files and input controls, without a billion libraries:
<%
if (request.getContentType() == null)
return;
// For input type=text controls
String v_Text =
(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getPart("Text1").getInputStream()))).readLine();
// For input type=file controls
InputStream inStr = request.getPart("File1").getInputStream();
char charArray[] = new char[inStr.available()];
new InputStreamReader(inStr).read(charArray);
String contents = new String(charArray);
%>
Use:
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
From this object you have to get the file items and fields, and then you can store into the server like the following:
String loc = "./webapps/prjct name/server folder/" + contentid + extension;
File uploadFile = new File(loc);
item.write(uploadFile);
You can upload a file using JSP /servlet.
<form action="UploadFileServlet" method="post">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
On the other hand, on the server side, use the following code.
package com.abc..servlet;
import java.io.File;

How can I upload files to server using JSP/Servlet?
I tried this:
<form action="upload" method="post">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
However, I only get the file name, not the file content. When I add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the <form>, then request.getParameter() returns null.
During research I stumbled upon Apache Common FileUpload. I tried this:
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
List items = upload.parseRequest(request); // This line is where it died.
Unfortunately, the servlet threw an exception without a clear message and cause. Here is the stacktrace:

Introduction
To browse and select a file for upload you need a HTML <input type="file"> field in the form. As stated in the HTML specification you have to use the POST method and the enctype attribute of the form has to be set to "multipart/form-data".
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
After submitting such a form, the binary multipart form data is available in the request body in a different format than when the enctype isn't set.
Before Servlet 3.0 (Dec 2009), the Servlet API didn't natively support multipart/form-data. It supports only the default form enctype of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The request.getParameter() and consorts would all return null when using multipart form data. This is where the well known Apache Commons FileUpload came into the picture.
Don't manually parse it!
You can in theory parse the request body yourself based on ServletRequest#getInputStream(). However, this is a precise and tedious work which requires precise knowledge of RFC2388. You shouldn't try to do this on your own or copypaste some homegrown library-less code found elsewhere on the Internet. Many online sources have failed hard in this, such as roseindia.net. See also uploading of pdf file. You should rather use a real library which is used (and implicitly tested!) by millions of users for years. Such a library has proven its robustness.
When you're already on Servlet 3.0 or newer, use native API
If you're using at least Servlet 3.0 (Tomcat 7, Jetty 9, JBoss AS 6, GlassFish 3, etc, they exist already since 2010), then you can just use standard API provided HttpServletRequest#getPart() to collect the individual multipart form data items (most Servlet 3.0 implementations actually use Apache Commons FileUpload under the covers for this!). Also, normal form fields are available by getParameter() the usual way.
First annotate your servlet with #MultipartConfig in order to let it recognize and support multipart/form-data requests and thus get getPart() to work:
#WebServlet("/upload")
#MultipartConfig
public class UploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
// ...
}
Then, implement its doPost() as follows:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String description = request.getParameter("description"); // Retrieves <input type="text" name="description">
Part filePart = request.getPart("file"); // Retrieves <input type="file" name="file">
String fileName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
Note the Path#getFileName(). This is a MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
In case you want to upload multiple files via either multiple="true",
<input type="file" name="files" multiple="true" />
or the old-fashioned way with multiple inputs,
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="file" name="files" />
<input type="file" name="files" />
...
then you can collect them as below (unfortunately there is no such method as request.getParts("files")):
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// ...
List<Part> fileParts = request.getParts().stream().filter(part -> "files".equals(part.getName()) && part.getSize() > 0).collect(Collectors.toList()); // Retrieves <input type="file" name="files" multiple="true">
for (Part filePart : fileParts) {
String fileName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
}
When you're not on Servlet 3.1 yet, manually get submitted file name
Note that Part#getSubmittedFileName() was introduced in Servlet 3.1 (Tomcat 8, Jetty 9, WildFly 8, GlassFish 4, etc, they exist since 2013 already). If you're not on Servlet 3.1 yet (really?), then you need an additional utility method to obtain the submitted file name.
private static String getSubmittedFileName(Part part) {
for (String cd : part.getHeader("content-disposition").split(";")) {
if (cd.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
String fileName = cd.substring(cd.indexOf('=') + 1).trim().replace("\"", "");
return fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1); // MSIE fix.
}
}
return null;
}
String fileName = getSubmittedFileName(filePart);
Note the MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
When you're not on Servlet 3.0 yet, use Apache Commons FileUpload
If you're not on Servlet 3.0 yet (isn't it about time to upgrade? it's released over a decade ago!), the common practice is to make use of Apache Commons FileUpload to parse the multpart form data requests. It has an excellent User Guide and FAQ (carefully go through both). There's also the O'Reilly ("cos") MultipartRequest, but it has some (minor) bugs and isn't actively maintained anymore for years. I wouldn't recommend using it. Apache Commons FileUpload is still actively maintained and currently very mature.
In order to use Apache Commons FileUpload, you need to have at least the following files in your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib:
commons-fileupload.jar
commons-io.jar
Your initial attempt failed most likely because you forgot the commons IO.
Here's a kickoff example how the doPost() of your UploadServlet may look like when using Apache Commons FileUpload:
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
List<FileItem> items = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory()).parseRequest(request);
for (FileItem item : items) {
if (item.isFormField()) {
// Process regular form field (input type="text|radio|checkbox|etc", select, etc).
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fieldValue = item.getString();
// ... (do your job here)
} else {
// Process form file field (input type="file").
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(item.getName());
InputStream fileContent = item.getInputStream();
// ... (do your job here)
}
}
} catch (FileUploadException e) {
throw new ServletException("Cannot parse multipart request.", e);
}
// ...
}
It's very important that you don't call getParameter(), getParameterMap(), getParameterValues(), getInputStream(), getReader(), etc on the same request beforehand. Otherwise the servlet container will read and parse the request body and thus Apache Commons FileUpload will get an empty request body. See also a.o. ServletFileUpload#parseRequest(request) returns an empty list.
Note the FilenameUtils#getName(). This is a MSIE fix as to obtaining the file name. This browser incorrectly sends the full file path along the name instead of only the file name.
Alternatively you can also wrap this all in a Filter which parses it all automagically and put the stuff back in the parametermap of the request so that you can continue using request.getParameter() the usual way and retrieve the uploaded file by request.getAttribute(). You can find an example in this blog article.
Workaround for GlassFish3 bug of getParameter() still returning null
Note that Glassfish versions older than 3.1.2 had a bug wherein the getParameter() still returns null. If you are targeting such a container and can't upgrade it, then you need to extract the value from getPart() with help of this utility method:
private static String getValue(Part part) throws IOException {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(part.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
StringBuilder value = new StringBuilder();
char[] buffer = new char[1024];
for (int length = 0; (length = reader.read(buffer)) > 0;) {
value.append(buffer, 0, length);
}
return value.toString();
}
String description = getValue(request.getPart("description")); // Retrieves <input type="text" name="description">

Ajaxifying the form
Head to the following answers how to upload using Ajax (and jQuery). Do note that the servlet code to collect the form data does not need to be changed for this! Only the way how you respond may be changed, but this is rather trivial (i.e. instead of forwarding to JSP, just print some JSON or XML or even plain text depending on whatever the script responsible for the Ajax call is expecting).
How can I upload files to a server using JSP/Servlet and Ajax?
Send a file as multipart through XMLHttpRequest
HTML5 drag and drop file upload to Java Servlet
Hope this all helps :)
If you happen to use Spring MVC, this is how to (I'm leaving this here in case someone find it useful):
Use a form with enctype attribute set to "multipart/form-data" (the same as BalusC's answer):
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
In your controller, map the request parameter file to MultipartFile type as follows:
#RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void handleUpload(#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes(); // alternatively, file.getInputStream();
// application logic
}
}
You can get the filename and size using MultipartFile's getOriginalFilename() and getSize().
I've tested this with Spring version 4.1.1.RELEASE.

Uploading files using JSP. files:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Form" >
<input type="file" name="fFoto" id="fFoto" value="" /></td>
<input type="file" name="fResumen" id="fResumen" value=""/>
In the JSP File or Servlet
InputStream isFoto = request.getPart("fFoto").getInputStream();
InputStream isResu = request.getPart("fResumen").getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte buf[] = new byte[8192];
int qt = 0;
while ((qt = isResu.read(buf)) != -1) {
baos.write(buf, 0, qt);
}
String sResumen = baos.toString();
Edit your code to servlet requirements, like max-file-size, max-request-size and other options that you can to set...
You need the common-io.1.4.jar file to be included in your lib directory, or if you're working in any editor, like NetBeans, then you need to go to project properties and just add the JAR file and you will be done.
To get the common.io.jar file just google it or just go to the Apache Tomcat website where you get the option for a free download of this file. But remember one thing: download the binary ZIP file if you're a Windows user.
I am using a common Servlet for every HTML form whether it has attachments or not.
This Servlet returns a TreeMap where the keys are JSP name parameters and values are user inputs and saves all attachments in a fixed directory and later you rename the directory of your choice. Here Connections is our custom interface having a connection object.

For Spring MVC
I managed to have a simpler version that worked for taking form input, both data and images.
<form action="/handleform" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Controller to handle
#Controller
public class FormController {
#RequestMapping(value="/handleform",method= RequestMethod.POST)
ModelAndView register(#RequestParam String name, #RequestParam int age, #RequestParam MultipartFile file)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println(name);
System.out.println(age);
if(!file.isEmpty()){
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
String filename = file.getOriginalFilename();
BufferedOutputStream stream =new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("D:/" + filename)));
stream.write(bytes);
stream.flush();
stream.close();
}
return new ModelAndView("index");
}
}
Another source of this problem occurs if you are using Geronimo with its embedded Tomcat. In this case, after many iterations of testing Commons IO and commons-fileupload, the problem arises from a parent classloader handling the commons-xxx JAR files. This has to be prevented. The crash always occurred at:
fileItems = uploader.parseRequest(request);
Note that the List type of fileItems has changed with the current version of commons-fileupload to be specifically List<FileItem> as opposed to prior versions where it was generic List.
I added the source code for commons-fileupload and Commons IO into my Eclipse project to trace the actual error and finally got some insight. First, the exception thrown is of type Throwable not the stated FileIOException nor even Exception (these will not be trapped). Second, the error message is obfuscatory in that it stated class not found because axis2 could not find commons-io. Axis2 is not used in my project at all, but it exists as a folder in the Geronimo repository subdirectory as part of standard installation.
Finally, I found one place that posed a working solution which successfully solved my problem. You must hide the JAR files from the parent loader in the deployment plan. This was put into the geronimo-web.xml file with my full file shown below.

Here's an example using apache commons-fileupload:
// apache commons-fileupload to handle file upload
DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
factory.setRepository(new File(DataSources.TORRENTS_DIR()));
ServletFileUpload fileUpload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
List<FileItem> items = fileUpload.parseRequest(req.raw());
FileItem item = items.stream()
.filter(e ->
"the_upload_name".equals(e.getFieldName()))
.findFirst().get();
String fileName = item.getName();
item.write(new File(dir, fileName));
log.info(fileName);
You first have to set the enctype attribute of the form to "multipart/form-data"
This is shown below.
<form action="Controller" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label class="file-upload"> Click here to upload an Image </label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" required>
</form>
And then, in the Servlet "Controller" add the Annotation for a Multi-part to indicate multipart data is processed in the servlet.
After doing this, retrieve the part sent through the form and then retrieve the file name (with path)of the submitted file. Use this to create a new file in the desired path and write the parts of the file to the newly created file to recreate the file.
As shown below:
#MultipartConfig
public class Controller extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
insertImage(request, response);
}
private void addProduct(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
Part filePart = request.getPart("file");
String imageName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName()).getFileName().toString();
String imageSavePath = "specify image path to save image"; //path to save image
FileOutputStream outputStream = null;
InputStream fileContent = null;
try {
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(imageSavePath + File.separator + imageName));
// Creating a new file with file path and the file name
fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
// Getting the input stream
int readBytes = 0;
byte[] readArray = new byte[1024];
// Initializing a byte array with size 1024
while ((readBytes = fileContent.read(readArray)) != -1) {
outputStream.write(readArray, 0, readBytes);
} // This loop will write the contents of the byte array unitl the end to the output stream
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error Writing File: " + ex);
} finally {
if (outputStream != null) {
outputStream.close();
// Closing the output stream
}
if (fileContent != null) {
fileContent.close();
// Closing the input stream
}
}
}
}
The simplest way I could come up with for files and input controls, without a billion libraries:
<%
if (request.getContentType() == null)
return;
// For input type=text controls
String v_Text =
(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(request.getPart("Text1").getInputStream()))).readLine();
// For input type=file controls
InputStream inStr = request.getPart("File1").getInputStream();
char charArray[] = new char[inStr.available()];
new InputStreamReader(inStr).read(charArray);
String contents = new String(charArray);
%>
Use:
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
From this object you have to get the file items and fields, and then you can store into the server like the following:
String loc = "./webapps/prjct name/server folder/" + contentid + extension;
File uploadFile = new File(loc);
item.write(uploadFile);
You can upload a file using JSP /servlet.
<form action="UploadFileServlet" method="post">
<input type="text" name="description" />
<input type="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
On the other hand, on the server side, use the following code.
package com.abc..servlet;
import java.io.File;
---------

/**
* Servlet implementation class UploadFileServlet
*/
public class UploadFileServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
HttpSession httpSession = request.getSession();
String filePathUpload = (String) httpSession.getAttribute("path") != null ? httpSession.getAttribute("path").toString() : "" ;
String path1 = filePathUpload;
String filename = null;
File path = null;
FileItem item = null;
boolean isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
if (isMultipart) {
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
String FieldName = "";
try {
List items = upload.parseRequest(request);
Iterator iterator = items.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
item = (FileItem) iterator.next();
if (fieldname.equals("description")) {
description = item.getString();
}
}
if (!item.isFormField()) {
filename = item.getName();
path = new File(path1 + File.separator);
if (!path.exists()) {
boolean status = path.mkdirs();
}
/* Start of code fro privilege */
File uploadedFile = new File(path + Filename); // for copy file
item.write(uploadedFile);
}
} else {
f1 = item.getName();
}
} // END OF WHILE
response.sendRedirect("welcome.jsp");
} catch (FileUploadException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

File web.xml
Compile the above servlet UploadServlet and create the required entry in the web.xml file as follows.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>UploadServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>UploadServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>UploadServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/UploadServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Sending multiple files for file, we have to use enctype="multipart/form-data".
And to send multiple files, use multiple="multiple" in the input tag:
<form action="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="fileattachments" multiple="multiple"/>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
