Http-Poster plugin: server-side processing

Classic Servoy

Can you give an example of how a servlet might process the poster plugin’s doPost() method to write files to a directory on the server?

Thanks,
Sean

pseudo/sample code

import org.apache.commons.fileupload.DefaultFileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUpload;


    
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException 
    {

		String ct = request.getContentType();
		if (ct != null && ct.startsWith("multipart/form-data;")) //$NON-NLS-1$
		{
			File file = null;
			String fileName = null;
			
			FileUpload fileUpload = new FileUpload(new DefaultFileItemFactory());
			try
			{
				List list = fileUpload.parseRequest(request);
				Iterator iterator = list.iterator();
				while (iterator.hasNext())
				{
					FileItem fileItem = (FileItem) iterator.next();
					if (fileItem.isFormField())
					{
						if ("file".equals(fileItem.getFieldName())) //$NON-NLS-1$
						{
							file = File.createTempFile("import", ".servoy"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
							fileItem.write(file);
							fileName = fileItem.getName();
						}
					}
				}
			}
			catch(Exception ex)
			{
			}

			if (file != null)
			{
				//process file
			}
		}
