DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
        // maximum size that will be stored in memory
        factory.setSizeThreshold(4096);
// the location for saving data that is larger than getSizeThreshold()
        factory.setRepository(new File("C:/UploadFiles"));
	
        ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
        // maximum size before a FileUploadException will be thrown
        upload.setSizeMax(5000000);
 
        List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
	
        // assume we know there are two files. The first file is a small
        // text file, the second is unknown and is written to a file on
        // the server
        Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
	Hashtable table = new Hashtable () ;
 
	while ( i.hasNext () ) 
	{
        	FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
        	// filename on the client
		if ( !fi.isFormField () )	
		{
	        String fileName = fi.getName();
        	// save comment and filename to database
		
		String fieldName = fi.getFieldName () ;
 
        	// write the file
		File file = new File( "C:/UploadFiles/" + fileName.substring ( fileName.lastIndexOf ( "\\"  ) )  ) ;
	        fi.write( file ) ;
