Hi, I know there is an example of uploading files via servlets in the
o'reilly servlet programming book, I was just wondering what would happen
if i had the following html page

<FORM ACTION="UploadServlet" METHOD=POST>
Select the file to upload <INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=filename><br>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>

and UploadServlet contained the following

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
    throws ServletException, IOException
{
        String filename = req.getInputStream().getParameter("filename");
        File f = new File(filename);
        try {
                FileInputStream fin =
                        (FileInputStream)req.getInputStream();
                FileOutputStream fout =
                        new FileOutputStream(f);
                int ch;
                while((ch = fin.read())!=-1) {
                        fout.write(ch);
                }
                fin.close();
                fout.close();
                //stick f in database or whereever..
        } catch (IOException e) {}
}

would this work to upload a file such as .doc or .wpd or .sdw type files
or any other files for that matter?


Thanks!
