Yes it is in oreilly package..

Its full name is: com.oreilly.servlet.UploadedFile

UploadedFile exists in cos.jar, which you can extract from the cos-26Dec2008.zip/lib that you can download from the following site:

http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html

Hope that solves your problem..

The solution you are looking at date back to 2004

Since then UploadedFile is excluded from the latest package

You might want to download the previous package from here
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven/com.servlets/jars/cos-09May2002.jar

Thanks for ur responses

ali_pakkan:
the uploadedFile class is not included in this version

bluebelldiscovery:
i have added the package jar file to the lib of the project. now it gives me different error:
uploadedFile is not public cannot be accessed from outside the package?

Thanks for the code,

i used ur code, when i print request.getContentType it gives null:

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="SaveImage2File" METHOD="GET">
<br><br><br>
<center><table border="2" >
<tr><center><td colspan="2"><p align="center"><B>PROGRAM FOR UPLOADING THE FILE</B><center></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Choose the file To Upload:</b>
</td>
<td><INPUT NAME="F1" TYPE="file"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">
<p align="right"><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File" ></p></td></tr>
<table>
</center>
</form>

1. Input name for "type file" have to be "file"
<INPUT NAME="file" TYPE="file">
because servlet is look for this name
if( name.equals("file") && !item.isFormField())

2. Change form method to POST, so far I have not try GET method not sure if it work.
<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="SaveImage2File" METHOD="POST">

I just looked in the jar file, and found the class you're looking for. I didnt think you were just looking for a general upload solution.

Anyhow, i'm happy that it's solved.
