Where to store uploaded images in Linux server using Spring MVC
I have written a code to upload the images(profile picture of an student) in the server running in linux environment.The code is shown below
@RequestMapping(value = "/updatePhoto",method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String handleFormUpload(@RequestParam("id") String id,
@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file,
HttpServletRequest request,
Model model) throws IOException
if(!file.isEmpty())
try
String relativePath="/resources";
String absolutePath=request.getServletContext().getRealPath(relativePath);
System.out.print(absolutePath);
byte bytes=file.getBytes();
File dir=new File(absolutePath);
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdir();
File uploadFile=new File(dir.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+id+".jpg");
BufferedOutputStream outputStream=new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(uploadFile));
outputStream.write(bytes);
outputStream.close();
model.addAttribute("uploadMessage","image uploaded for id"+id);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.print(e);
return "successFileUpload";
i have stored in "/resources" folder.but the problem is, whenever i generate the war file of whole application and deploy in server, it flushes the "/resources" folder and deletes the old uploaded images.Is there any way or the path ,i could upload the images.
spring-mvc file-upload multifile-uploader

Store them anywhere you want except where you're currently storing them. I.e. choose a directory which is not deleted every time you deploy the app, and store them there.

The way I do is:
- Create a directory in the server. For example:
/myImages
- Then grant full permissions for tomcat user
You are good to go now. I have read somewhere that you shouldn't save your stuff on /resources
folder because it makes your app independent from container you are using: with tomcat you could use catalina.home
but what if you shift to another container

I store the images inside my Tomcat home location as it will be outside of my project folder(war) and inside the tomcat.
String rootPath = System.getProperty("catalina.home");
File dir = new File(rootPath + File.separator + "images");
The above lines of code will create a folder in tomcat base directory with name 'images'.
This is the one of the best ways to store images.
