Java Servlet File Download and File Upload Example
Yatin B.Date: 2018-01-03
This tutorial demonstrates file upload and download functionality in a Java Servlet 3.0 web application. It explains how to create a Maven project, build servlets for handling file uploads and downloads using the Servlet 3.0 API (eliminating the need for third-party libraries like Apache Commons FileUpload), and create JSPs for user interaction. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide with screenshots, covering project setup, code snippets for servlets and JSPs, deployment to Tomcat, and troubleshooting common errors. Note that the download example is cautioned against due to potential security vulnerabilities; it's recommended to use a dedicated static file server instead.
