I have tried to copy the tutorial from here JSP File Uploading. I am using Eclipse and Tomcat, but when I run it on the server I get the error:
An error occurred at line: 24 in the jsp file: /index.jsp DiskFileItemFactory cannot be resolved to a type 21: String contentType = request.getContentType(); 22: if ((contentType.indexOf("multipart/form-data") >= 0)) { 23: 24: DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory(); 25: // maximum size that will be stored in memory 26: factory.setSizeThreshold(maxMemSize); 27: // Location to save data that is larger than maxMemSize. I have downloaded the commons fileupload and io packages and added the jars as external in the build path. The code is a direct copy from the tutorial with imports and everythingh, here is the full code from the link:

List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(request); // Process the uploaded file items Iterator i = fileItems.iterator(); out.println("<html>"); out.println("<head>"); out.println("<title>JSP File upload</title>"); out.println("</head>"); out.println("<body>"); while ( i.hasNext () ) { FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next(); if ( !fi.isFormField () ) { // Get the uploaded file parameters String fieldName = fi.getFieldName(); String fileName = fi.getName(); boolean isInMemory = fi.isInMemory(); long sizeInBytes = fi.getSize(); // Write the file if( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\") >= 0 ){ file = new File( filePath + fileName.substring( fileName.lastIndexOf("\\"))) ; }else{ file = new File( filePath + fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf("\\")+1)) ; } fi.write( file ) ; out.println("Uploaded Filename: " + filePath + fileName + "<br>"); } } out.println("</body>"); out.println("</html>"); }catch(Exception ex) { System.out.println(ex); } }else{ out.println("<html>"); out.println("<head>"); out.println("<title>Servlet upload</title>"); out.println("</head>"); out.println("<body>"); out.println("<p>No file uploaded</p>"); out.println("</body>"); out.println("</html>"); } %>
