Thread: problem with uploading an image to server

Hi everyone

what seems to be the problem in my code, what i want to do is to upload an image to a folder named "uploadFiles" in my web application.

here's my code, can you guys please help me. What seems to be the problem?

 boolean isMultiPart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
        try {
 
            if (!isMultiPart) {
                out.println("File not found!");
            } else {
 
                ServletFileUpload servletFileUpload = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory());
                List fileItemsList = servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request);
                Iterator it = fileItemsList.iterator();
 
                while (it.hasNext()) {
 
                    FileItem fileItem = (FileItem) it.next();
                    if (fileItem.isFormField()) {
                        /* The file item contains a simple name-value pair of a form field */
                    } else {
 
                        /* The file item contains an uploaded file */
                        long fileSize = fileItem.getSize();
                        String fileDirectory = fileItem.getName();
                        String contentType = fileItem.getContentType();
                        String[] temp = fileDirectory.split("\\\\"); /*Just to get the file name only*/
                        String fileName = temp[temp.length-1];
                        out.println(fileName);
                        File saveTo = new File("/uploadFiles/" + fileName ); /*at this line is my problem. It won't Upload the browsed Image*/
 
                        try {
                            fileItem.write(saveTo);
                        } catch (Exception ex) {
                            Logger.getLogger(doInputServlet.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

yes it compile and there are no exceptions occur. I tried to print something before the fileItem.write(saveTo) for debugging purposes and surprisingly yes it prints. but when i print another after the said code it doesn't print... Does it mean there's a logical error in my Code?
