You can specify the directory into which the file should store while constructing the IOStream like "C:\tomcat\webapps\examples\yourfilename.gif"

and i have to store the images in the server location. it will be change server to server..

Tomcat stores the uploaded image files into the /bin directory since the Tomcat startup file is also in the /bin directory, and therefore the "ROOT" directory is there by default.
The way to do is that when you initialize your output stream, you need to put in an absolute path, something starts with a drive name.
I can see the destionation path is dynamic, how about you create your "ROOT" dir, say C:/Upload, and all the user-defined paths must append this "ROOT" dir instead.

Hi Instead of writting the code you can use the jsp smartupload its tag lib which is freely availble.

dear wendell and prasanth. I used smart tag. I am getting one exception called. some files not found. That is what I am uploading images using streams. and how can I change the default directory of tomcat. can I upload on selected directory in to server, if so how?
thanks in advance

Yes! you can get the path dynamically,
by using request.getContextPath() or
getServletContext().getRealPath("")
the former will give you the "/examples" as the path and the latter will give "C:\tomcat\webapps\examples\" as outputs for a windows system, it will also give "proper" paths for other operating systems.
Have fun.
FYI I got this from SnoopServlet.java under examples directory.
