hi, don't know much about the upload internals, just some hints about the directory handling

All servlet containers must provide a private temporary directory per servlet context and make it available via the context attribute of javax.servlet.context.tempdir. The object associated with the attribute must be of type java.io.File. --end-- Moreover the file should take the servlet session into account if it is available, as more than one user may upload files. bye bernhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
