To Upload and insert the file into Database with Current Date and Time In JSP

To Upload and insert the file  into Database with Current Date and Time In JSP

     

In this tutorial, you will learn how to upload a file through JSP and insert it into the database. For this, we have created two jsp pages page.jsp and upload_page.jsp. The page.jsp is created for presentation where a file component is created to let the user select the file to be uploaded and a button to submit the request. The action is performed on upload_page.jsp. Before proceeding further, we need table in database. We created table named 'file' for our example.

Step 1 : Create a Table structure for file

CREATE TABLE `file_tbl` (
`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`file_data` text,
`file_date` datetime default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Table "file" is created.


Step 2:Create a Page ("page.jsp") To Upload a file. 

<%@ page language="java" %>
<HTml>
<HEAD><TITLE>Display file upload form to the user</TITLE></HEAD> 

<BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION=
"upload_page.jsp" METHOD=POST>
<br><br><br>
<center>
<table border="0" bgcolor=#ccFDDEE>
<tr>
<center>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><B>UPLOAD THE FILE</B><center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Choose the file To Upload:</b></td>
<td><INPUT NAME="file" TYPE="file"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File" ></td>
</tr>
<table>
</center> 
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>



Step 3: Create a page of upload_page.jsp to upload and insert the file in database with current date and time.
 

<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.sql.*,java.util.*,java.text.*,java.text.SimpleDateFormat" %>
<html>
<%
int val =0;
String contentType = request.getContentType();
if ((contentType != null) && (contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) {
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;

while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead, formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}
String file = new String(dataBytes);
String saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
System.out.println("saveFile=" + saveFile);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\")+ 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
System.out.println("saveFile" + saveFile);
saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));
saveFile = saveFile.substring(saveFile.lastIndexOf("\\")+ 1,saveFile.indexOf("\""));
int lastIndex = contentType.lastIndexOf("=");
String boundary = contentType.substring(lastIndex + 1,contentType.length());
int pos;

pos = file.indexOf("filename=\"");
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
pos = file.indexOf("\n", pos) + 1;
int boundaryLocation = file.indexOf(boundary, pos) - 4;
int startPos = ((file.substring(0, pos)).getBytes()).length;
int endPos = ((file.substring(0, boundaryLocation)).getBytes()).length;

FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(saveFile);
fileOut.write(dataBytes, startPos, (endPos - startPos));
%>

<%
Connection con=null;
PreparedStatement pstatement = null;
String line = null;
String value=null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String dbName = "file_upload";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String userName = "root"; 
String password = "root";
try{
StringBuilder contents = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(saveFile));
while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
contents.append(line);
}
value = contents.toString();
System.out.println("Value:"+value);
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date();
String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
String strDateNew = sdf.format(now) ;

String queryString = "INSERT INTO file_tbl set file_data='"+value+"',file_date='"+strDateNew+"'";

//out.println(queryString);

pstatement=con.prepareStatement(queryString);


val = pstatement.executeUpdate();

if(val>0)
{
%>
<br><br>
<b>File <% out.println(saveFile); %> has been uploaded and inserted into Database at <%=strDateNew%>.</b>
<%
}


}
catch(Exception e)
{}
}
%>

This file upload and insert into database with current date and time using JDBC database.  This can be done

(i). To import java.io.*,java.sql.*,java.util.*,java.text.*,java.text.SimpleDateFormat  packages.  Java.io Packages is used to read and write the file uploaded having classes like DataInputStream, FileOutputStream etc.  java.util.*,java.text.*,java.text.SimpleDateFormat is used to retireve the current Date and Time. 
(ii). Prepared Statement is used to insert the data into database having used pstatement=con.prepareStatement(queryString);
(iii). Using a Query "INSERT INTO file_tbl set file_data='"+value+"',file_date='"+strDateNew+"'" to insert the data into database.

Step 4: Output when file upload and insert into database with current date and time.

Table Structure after file Upload : 

A message has been displayed on the browser.


The file  is inserted into the database with current date and time.
