spring mvc - Transfer file to Tomcat location -

i'm trying implement file upload functionality in spring application.

currently, using multiple attribute of html5 forms send multiple files server. files htting controller, having issues transferring them server destination.

@requestmapping(value = "/upload", method = requestmethod.post) public string handleupload(@requestparam("files[]") list<multipartfile> files, model model) {      string filename;     file transferfile;     string filepath = system.getproperty("catalina.base") + file.separator + "resources" + file.separator;     arraylist<file> filelist = new arraylist<file>(files.size());     arraylist<string> filenamelist = new arraylist<string>(files.size());       (multipartfile file : files) {          filename = filepath + file.getoriginalfilename();         transferfile = new file(filename);         filenamelist.add(filename);          try {             if (transferfile.exists()) {                 logger.info("successful transfer!");                 file.transferto(transferfile);             else                  logger.info("could not create file @ " + filename); 

i left out catch blocks , other logging transferfile object created not exist @ location.

how can create file @ specified location?

1. check added enctype='multipart/form-data' in form tag.

check define in configuration file spring.xml

 <beans:bean id="multipartresolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.commonsmultipartresolver">  <!-- 1 of properties available; maximum file size in bytes -->           <beans:property name="maxuploadsize" value="100000000" />  </beans:bean> 

2.check name atribute of file tag , use same in controller method handleupload.

3.check whether file created or not @ specified location in transfering file user i.e. check transferfile creates file or not @ destination.
