hiii
can u please help me in uploading files in JSP???
I have a code but it can only upload small sized files(only few bytes or kb) , please help me in uploading large files.I tried to upload a large file but it could not, although it didn't show any error

my code is:

<%@ page
  import="java.io.*,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,javax.servlet.ServletInputStream" %>
  <%@ page import="java.io.FileWriter,java.io.IOException" %>
<%
 String savePath = "",filepath = "",filename = "";
 String contentType = "", fileData = "", strLocalFileName = "";
 int startPos = 0;
 int endPos = 0;
%>
<%!
 //copy specified number of bytes from main data buffer to temp data buffer
 void copyByte(byte [] fromBytes, byte [] toBytes, int start, int len)
 {  
  for(int i=start;i<(start+len);i++)
  {
   toBytes[i - start] = fromBytes[i];
  }
 }
%>
<%
 int BOF = 0, EOF = 0;
 contentType = request.getContentType();
 out.println("<br>Content type is :: " +contentType);
 if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >=
0))
 {
  DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
  DataInputStream in1 = in;
  int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
  byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
  int byteRead = 0;
  int totalBytesRead = 0;
  while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength)
  {
   byteRead = in1.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead, formDataLength);
   totalBytesRead += byteRead;
  }
  out.println("<br>totalBytesRead : " + totalBytesRead + "    :  formDataLength = " + formDataLength);

  //String file = new String(dataBytes);
  //out.println("<br>File
//Contents:<br><br>" + file +  "<br><br>");

  byte[] line = new byte[128];
  if (totalBytesRead < 3)
  {
    return; //exit if file length is not sufficiently large
  }

  String boundary = "";
  String s = "";
  int count = 0;
  int pos = 0;

  //loop for extracting boundry of file
  //could also be extracted from request.getContentType()
  do

   count+=1;

1) Learn more about Java web development, these days people do not use out.print to display HTML tags
2) Divide your code in according to Model-View-Controller
3) Have look on good tutorial, like this one or even better learn how to use Apache Commons
