Often times you cannot. The browser is not going to give you path information because that exposes too much information from the user's perspective.

All you get is the filename itself. Where you store it or how is up to you.

No. Depends upon the framework you're using, but most of the time you'll get either a stream or the actual byte array of the upload, it's all in memory. You can push it to a file, push it to doc lib or image gallery, or store into a database.

ohh..I am using icefaces 2 and using ace:fileEntry for uploading.Thus,FileEntryEvent is being used to sense the input file as
FileEntry fileEntry = (FileEntry)event.getSource();
FileEntryResults results = fileEntry.getResults();

ace:fileEntry will save the file to a temporary location on the disk. After the upload finishes, you would need to call fileInfo.getFile() and then read the file and insert the bytes as a BLOB in the database.

Hello Aritra,

I am trying to do a similar but simpler thing.
The requirement is to read the file the file only and send it as part of the parameters to the web service URL.
I am unable to read the file though.
Although I could get the FileInfo for the file like file name etc. , but I am unable to read the file.
How did you manage to configure the temporary storage for the storage of file ?

Kindly share the detailed steps taken.
Thanks in advance emoticon

Regards,
