Thank you VERY much! It now seems to be working correctly.
Between a new version of Tomcat, a new version of Sysdeo, a new version and the fact that I could never quite get FileUpload to work in the old versions of any of these tools, I was getting very confused. I wish I had asked this exact question a year and a half ago when I first started working with FileUpload ;-)
Again, thanks Martin! I am really looking forward to getting this project working now.

Could someone kindly tell me where I should be putting the commons-fileupload-1.0-jar when I deploy my Tomcat servlet to Tomcat?
I've
searched high and low through mailing lists and FileUpload docs and I
can't
find any mention of this.
My servlet compiles fine but when I deploy it to Tomcat (5.0.28) Tomcat can't find the jar so that it can do the uploading and I get this:
<snip/>
I think this is nature's way of telling me that I haven't got the
FileUpload
jar in the right place. Apparently, Tomcat can't use the copy of the jar that is in server/lib; as I understand it, this directory is only for uploads done by the server, not by the applications. I would have tried
it
in common/lib but I have specific instructions from Martin Cooper that
say
"keep the FileUpload jar within your own web app, and don't try to share
it
by putting it in common/lib".
So where DO I put the jar??? I suppose the answer should be obvious
since I
can't find any evidence of anyone else ever asking it but it's eluding
me.
The FileUpload jar file should go into WEB-INF/lib, inside your war file. This is the same place that all of your other jar files should go, and is the standard location for jar files in a web application. See the Servlet spec for more information.

Do I just drop the jar in the webapps/[MyAppName] folder? Won't that
ensure
that I have to put it back there manually every time I redeploy the
servlet?
Should I put the jar in the WAR file itself?
Any guidance would be appreciated!
