in that case you will have to write the code for parsing the incoming file.
Let mw give you some basics about file upload using Servlets.
1. IF you have a input type= file in your html page , then it has to have an
encoding=multi/part-fromdata.
2. If you write your own code to parse the data then you have to use the
ServletInputStream to receive the data and parse it.
3. Other problem is that in this case the HttpServletRequest's getParamater
methods will not work because they cannot deciper the encoding which is
mandatory.
4. SO you will have to write code to parse this info also, that is retreive
other parameters from the ServletInputStream .
5. So for this you will ahve to master RFC 1867, which descirbes HTML form
based file upload.
So i suggest you use OReilly 's class from www.servlets.com as indicated by
other people.
