File Upload in Java

 There are a number of libraries that do it. Take a look at the jGuru page: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=160 it contains useful dicussions and links.

  Hope it helps.

I think you can use the the com.oreilly.servlet package available here:
    http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html

The javadoc refers to Applet->Servlet communications but I don't see why it couldn't be used for Application->Servlet communications over HTTP.

There is also the HTTPClient package available here:
    http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/

Depends on what your servlet expects.

Can you explain how your servlet is expecting the data?

Most of the links posted here point to how to receive the file by a servlet. This is not what i want.

I am looking for Java CLIENT side (application) code that would do a form submit to a URL with a FILE. It would mimic the form submission and send a File.

This link too - http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/
does not have the client side File Upload code. It has code for connecting to a URL etc..

I would appreciate if someone can COPY the code here.

Thanks for your Help !!

That's why I asked what format your servlet was expecting the code in? Is it expecting a multipart form post, or something different?

I have no idea what format the servlet in question is expecting the form post to be, since i only have the URL to the servlet and no other info. in other words - i am not the owner of the servlet and dont have documentation to it at present.

So can u assume the possible formats and tell me what the code would look like.
thanks.

> So can u assume the possible formats

The possibilities are infinite.
You'll need to find what it expects to be able to communicate with it.
What currently posts to it?

Hmmm.... has anybody actually solved this problem? I'm trying to do the same thing, although I'm writing the servlet myself...

what I would like to do is have an application send a mp3 file to a servlet. Currently I have a working formbase file-upload...

Is there a way to just see only your 'open' questions, rather seeing all of them....since in this case we have to keep going from one page to another to see the whole list...
