Reading an uploaded file and returning that uploaded file in the exact same 
structure as the input file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FILEUPLOAD-165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-165
             Project: Commons FileUpload
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 1.2
         Environment: Windows XP Professional
            Reporter: Barry Barrios
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 1.2.1


I am using response.getWriter().write(new String(uploadItem.get() to write the 
uploaded input file. The code works pretty well except the output is very 
disorganized. I want the output to look  exactly the same as the input file, in 
structure, the same space, the same columns, a perfect copy. However the output 
file, is scrammbled all together. What can be done to alter this code so that 
the input file looks like the output file.


Sample Code Below:

package de.herbstcampus.server;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload;

public class FileUploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1156467149259077140L;

        protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                        HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, 
IOException {
                FileItem uploadItem = getFileItem(request);
                
                /*
                 * Note this must be 'text/html', otherwise the 
onSubmitComplete(...)
                 * won't work properly and the browser may open a save dialog.
                 */
                response.setContentType("text/html");
                

                if (uploadItem == null) {
                        response.getWriter().write("No data");
                        return;
                } else {
                        response.getWriter().write(new 
String(uploadItem.get()));
                }
        }

        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        private FileItem getFileItem(HttpServletRequest request) {
                FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
                ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);

                try {
                        List<FileItem> items = upload.parseRequest(request);
                        
                        for (FileItem item: items) {
                                if (!item.isFormField()
                                                && 
"uploadFormElement".equals(item.getFieldName())) {
                                        return item;
                                }
                        }
                } catch (FileUploadException e) {
                        return null;
                }
                
                return null;
        }
