Upload Image using Servlet

This application illustrates how to upload an image using servlet.

In this example program a form is displayed to user, where user can browse the image file which is to be uploaded on the server. Once the submit button is clicked the form data is posted to a servlet. Servlet then processes the uploaded data and saves the image on the server.

Following programming code is developed in the application:

Form JSP:
Form JSP file is used to display the form to the user.
Servlet (UploadImage.java):
The UploadImage servlet is used to process the form data. After processing the form data, image is saved in the images directory of the server. Servlet also saves the path of the image into database. Finally the uploaded image is displayed on the browser with success message.

The Complete Application is as follows:

Uploaded image shows on the browser:
