Hi,
I am trying to read a file sent from client to server. Here is how I am trying it ....

  1. String filePath = request.getParameter("SelectCSVFile"); 
  2. System.out.println("path:::---> "+filePath);
  3. String fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
  4. System.out.println("File Name:\t"+fileName);

  14. serverCon.setRequestProperty(FILENAME_HEADER, fileName); // send the filename through HTTP header
  15. System.out.println("Successfully set the header");
  16. // POST the file's bytes to the connections OutputStream
  17. OutputStream toServer = serverCon.getOutputStream();

Hi madhoriya22!
Is there any specific reason known to you, why
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.out.println("Successfully set the header"); // line 15
  2.  
doesn't create an output? Also, what does
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.out.println("File exists: " + file.exists());
  2.  
say? And why are you using '/' as a file separator, when the standard file separator under Windows is '\\'?

*QUESTION TO THE ADMINS & CO: What is this code-tag-bug? It didn't let me create a java-code-section with some code but it did allow a text-code-section with the same code. Weird...*

The code tags bug (as I know it) is that when you quote a post with long lines of code posted under code tags then chances are high that that post that you make will appear as a blank post.

Edit: As evidenced by snowfall's second post here. The first post was also hit by the bug but I removed the quote from it through the edit facility.

Hi nepomuk,
By mistake I copied that line. //line 15

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.out.println("File exists: " + file.exists());
  2.  
and its not working .. means not able to find the file .....
Thats what I want to ask ......
How can i make it to find the file in client's system(The file I am supplying is on client's machine).

'/' separator I was using because while while getting the file name from the path supplied ... it was giving compile time error here
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. String fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("/")+1);//here it was not taking back slash(\)
  2.  
But now I have resolved it .... by doing like this ..
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. String fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("\\")+1);
  2.  
So pls give ur suggestions on that ..

OK, that reduces the possibilities of what the mistake might be, as it's something with the Path.

This program is running on the client's computer, isn't it? If it's running on server side, you'll not be able to do it like that. (And I don't know, how you could do it at all with Java, but maybe someone else does?)
'/' separator I was using because while while getting the file name from the path supplied ... it was giving compile time error here

  2.  
The path on a windows system is normally separated with '\\', but as far as I know, '/' is possible. However, new File("this.txt").getAbsolutePath() for example will supply a Path using '\\'.

If you don't know, what separator will be used, you can't do it quite like that - you'll have to check:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. String fileName;
  2. if(filePath.indexOf('/') != -1) fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
  3. else if(filePath.indexOf('\\') != -1) fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("\\")+1);
  4. else fileName = filePath; // just to make sure
  5.  
or (and this might solve your problem for you):
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. filePath = filePath().replace('\\', '/');
  2. String fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("\\")+1);
  3.  
With this, you make sure, that there will only be '\\'s and no '/'s in your path.

Does that help?

Hi,
Thanks buddy .... I got your point :)

Does anyone know how to get the file from client to server?

If you're prepared to use another language for that task, this thread might help you.

Hi,
I can not use other language. I have to do this in java. I wish I could make use of MultipartRequest.. But my html form is not using the encoding type which is required for multipart/form-data.
Anyway thanks for your suggestion :)
