Single and Multiple Files Upload Example in Spring MVC

988

Description

Spring has built in multipart support to handle file uploads in web applications with the help of MultipartResolver objects, Spring provides a MultipartResolver for use with Commons FileUpload . By default, no multipart handling will be done by Spring, so developers should implement the logic by themselves.

1) pom.xml

Add below dependency in pom.xml

	<dependency>
		<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
		<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
		<version>1.3.1</version>
	</dependency>

**2) Add below code in spring configuration xml file **

<beans:bean id="commonsMultipartResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">

		 <!--  upload size -->
		<beans:property name="maxUploadSize" value="1000000" />

	</beans:bean>

3) singlefileupload.jsp

<html>
<body>
	<form method="POST" action="/upload/singleFileUpload" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		Please select a File <input type="file" name="file">
 
		File Description: <input type="text" name="description">
 
 
		<input type="submit" value="Upload"> click me to upload the file.
	</form>	
</body>
</html>

4)mutliplefilesupload.jsp


<html>
<body>
	<form method="POST" action="/upload/uploadMultipleFiles" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		Please select file1 :<input type="file" name="file">
 
		File Description1: <input type="text" name="description">
 
 
		Please select file2 :<input type="file" name="file">
 
		File Description2 : <input type="text" name="description">
 

		<input type="submit" value="Upload"> click me to upload the files
	</form>
</body>
</html>
