Saving upload file to a specific folder in server

[cho con]

Hi all,

As I recognize that when we upload a file to server by servlet, it will be stored in a tempory place. Then these files may be deleted for some reason. I wonder how can we store them in a specific folder in server such as: "C:/fileupload/"? Does anyone have solution about this?

Thanks and regards,

Files can be uploaded wherever you want using the upload package of your choice. There is a JSP FAQ entry on this subject.

Specifically, I'm using org.apache.commons.fileupload package, so when saving a file to server, I know only giving the relative address such as: "/upload/", and this address belongs to a folder that we built web-app in server.

File savedFile = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/upload/"), fullFile.getName());
item.write(savedFile);

Sorry for my stupid question, I don't know how to give the absolute address of a folder in server in this case.
