I am trying to upload a file using servletsThe problem I am facing is that my file is getting corrupted.
I am able to upload the file, but the file is corrupted. i am trying to upload word documents or excel sheets.

I am using mime type text/plain and using DataInputStream to read the files into bytes and wriing the bytes using FileOutputStream.
I am using the code in Dustin R Callaway Text Book.

My servlet code runs something like this..


---

---

in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());


int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();


if(formDataLength > MAX_SIZE)

{

out.println("Sorry, File is too large to upload");

out.flush();

return;

}


//Allocate a byte array to store content data

byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];

//Read file into byte array.

int bytesRead = 0;

int totalBytesRead = 0;

while( totalBytesRead < formDataLength )

{

bytesRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead, formDataLength);

//Keep track of total bytes read from input stream

totalBytesRead += bytesRead;

}

//Create String from byte array for easy manipulation

String file = new String(dataBytes);

---

---

fileOut = new FileOutputStream(fileName);

//Write the string to the file as a byte array

fileOut.write(file.getBytes(),0,file.length());

---

---


File is getting created in required directory but is corrupted.

Please help me with this problem.


Thanks in advance
