Hello everyone.
What are the steps required for enabling a Java web application (Developed using Spring + Wicket) to accept client file uploads to a specific directory on the server.
While Googling for answers to this question I see suggestions that /WEB-INF/some-directory should be used as the upload location?
Is the reason for this best practice?
Is this location writable by the web application?
What happens to this location when a new version of the web application is deployed? Can/Should any other directory be used?
Thanks
