Programming for beginners: File Upload : getPart (String name)

public Part getPart(String name) throws IOException, ServletException

Gets the Part with the given name. The part represents a part or form item that was received within a multipart/form-data POST request. Part provides access to the headers, content type related with it and also the content via getInputStream method.

Form tag

The enctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server.

If enctype is multipart/form-data, No characters are encoded. This value is required when you are using forms that have a file upload control.

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>File Upload</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    </head>
    <body>
        <form method="POST" action="/servlet/FileUpload" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
            <table>
                <tr>
                    File:<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /><br />
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    Destination:<input type="text" name="destination"/><br />
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <input type="submit" value="Upload" name="upload" id="upload" />
                </tr>
            </table>
        </form>
