Create images directory

Create “images” directory in your project because we are writing the code to save all the files inside “/images” directory.

index.jsp


Emp.java


web.xml


spring-servlet.xml

Here, you need to create a bean for CommonsMultipartResolver.


uploadform.jsp

Here form must be method=”post” and enctype=”multipart/form-data”.

Go to the path printed on the server console, to see the uploaded file.
