How to upload multiple files into a server location at a single time
Hi All,
In my application i need to send multiple files from a particular page into the server location. In this page there will be an option to upload a file and after selecting the file , we will have an option asking if we were interested to send another file. It works just similar to google mail where we can multiple files at the same time. Right now though i had coded the uploading files concept i am facing some problems when trying to upload multiple files. All the files are being appended to a single file but i want them to be placed as different files at the specified location. Plz help me in this regard...
Thanks in advance................,,

Its not a big deal, using commons upload..u can even get sample code from their site..let me know if u are stuck any where..put the jar files inside ur lib folder and start using the package........regardsshanu
You can also try the Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload. It's a servlet filter that is easy to add to your web-project. After adding it, you can access both request parameters and the uploaded files easily. It's more transparent than Apache Commons File Upload. There is sufficient documentation to get you started, and there is a forum if you have any questions.
Jenkov HTTP Multipart File Upload is available under the Apache license, meaning its free to use.
Jenkov HTTP Multpart File Upload also supports upload of multiple files.
Hai, i am using apche commons for uploading the multiple files but the problem i am facing is as follows. In the program i had mentioned the maximum capacity of files to be uploaded as 5 i.e., only 5 files are to be uploaded. And when i am trying to upload, if i upload 5 files, it is working fine but if i upload less than 5 files its not working and am getting some problems. So i had to upload only the maximum capacity files and not less than that. In the above example if i upload 2 or 3 files and say submit its not working. If i select 5 files and say submit its working and all the 5 files are being uploaded. Any remedy for this problem.....

Hi,
i am sending the code in my prg. Have a look at it.
var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
In the above line i am specyfying that the maximum no. of files to be uploaded is 3. So if i upload less than 3 files, the program doesn't work and is not reading the uploaded files. If i upload 3 files it works fine. So please suggest me how to make this work irrespective of the no. of files uploaded using apache commons.
My code is as follows:
<form action="./servlet/Sample" method = "post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- The file element -- NOTE: it has an ID -->
<input id="my_file_element" type="file" name="file_1" >
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="submit">
</form>
Files:
<!-- This is where the output will appear -->
<div id="files_list"></div>
<script>
<!-- Create an instance of the multiSelector class, pass it the output target and the max number of files -->
var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
<!-- Pass in the file element -->
multi_selector.addElement( document.getElementById( 'my_file_element' ) );
</script>

I think the below code is a third party contribution..so not able to figure out what the function does.........

You could also try an applet (on client side) to allow mulitple file selection. Have a look to jClientUpload : http://www.javazoom.net/applets/jclientupload/jclientupload.htmlIt will work with your JSP (jakarta fukeupload-based) script.Hope it helps.
