This all can be easily done with Struts. There is an example web app in the struts distribution called file-upload.war

You are absolutely right Amit, but the problem here is the limit on the file size. We actually do not have a file size limit. Which may kill the webserver. So our approach should be as efficient as the web server handles this. Do you have any other idea for the same? Thank you very much for your input.

Hello All, My project as an requirement to publish different type of files (Word,Excel,PPT,zip etc) on the web. Our web page should have a link to those files on click of it, the corresponding files must be opened either on the web page or downloaded to the client machine and facilitate the user to read it. But our problem is either our files may eventually be residing on a separate file server or on the same machine, where our web server will be running. Here, if our files are going to be residing on a different machine, we can either make the network mapping and create on virtual directory for that folder and give the link on our browser to allow the user to open those files on the same browser or we can read the content of the file and push it to the browser. The first point is ok, if our client allows us to create a virtual directory to the file server. If that is ruled out then I need to go to the file reading. Now, my questions is, is there any such component available already out there which will be as efficient as the webserver virtual mapping and serve the same purpose? Can you guys please throw some light on this? Expecting your valuable suggestions in this regard.
