Answer 1

To process HTTP multipart/form-data requests in a servlet, use Apache Commons FileUpload. You should end up with the uploaded file in a FileItem. It has a write() method.

String filename = FilenameUtils.getName(fileItem.getName()); 
fileItem.write(new File("c:/upload", filename)); // Name must be unique!

For the usage guide and more code examples, just check their User Guide.

To display a list of files in the folder, you need to use the java.io.File API, it has a listFiles() method which returns a list of all files (paths) in a certain path. Do it in a preprocessing servlet which forwards the request to a JSP to display the list.

File[] files = new File("c:/upload").listFiles();
request.setAttribute("files", files);
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/uploads.jsp").forward(request, response);

In the /WEB-INF/uploads.jsp file use JSTL <c:forEach> to iterate over the File[].

<c:forEach items="${files}" var="file">
    <c:out value="${file.name}" /> (${file.length / 1024}KB)<br/>
</c:forEach>

Note that this is of course open for more (UI) finetuning, but that's up to you. I assume that you already know the HTML/JSP/Servlet basics.

you can do like that

     <%!
      Object path;
      public void getDirectory(String path, Vector files, Vector folder){
      File directory=new File(path); 
     File []file=directory.listFiles();
        for(int i=0; i<file.length; i++){
       if(file[i].isDirectory()){
        folder.add(file[i].getName());
       }
       else{
        files.add(file[i].getName());
       }
    }
 }
 %>

<table>
<%

    path=session.getAttribute("fileName");
   Vector file=new Vector(), folder=new Vector();
  getDirectory("C:/FileFolderProject/WebContent/"+path,file,folder);
   out.println("<music>");

  for(int a=0; a<file.size(); a++){
    %>
     <tr>
     <td>
      <img src="images/editfileimg.jpg" alt="file">
      </td>
     <td>
     <% 
     out.println("<file>"+file.elementAt(a).toString()+"</file><br/>");
    %>
     </td>
     <tr>
  <%

  }
  out.println("</music>");
  %>
   </table>
