I've recently built a small web-site on top of Jease where people should be able to upload some MP3-files for a party. Allowing people to access the JeaseCMS-interface was no option (although Jease is easy to use, this is overkill for such a fire-and-forget-task), so I had to build a small JSP-script which handles the upload directly via the public site.

The script makes use of Apache Commons Fileupload-Library which is distributed with Jease anyway, so all I had to do is to wire things together.

The upload-script is splitted in three parts:

• The HTML-Code for the multipart-data upload-form. It provides an additional field for an (optional) title which serves as an example on how to get attributes from a multipart-data-form.
• The Java-Code for parsing the request and transfering the contents from the request into a Jease-File-Object.
• A simple JSP-Snippet which iterates all files in the upload-folder to display a simple directory listing of submitted files.

To use the script below, you can simply create a "Script" within the JeaseCMS and copy&paste the content of the script below.

Have fun!
