hello every one i'm working on a project.
Hope u can help me in solving my problem.. I'm struggling for 5 DAYS!!
in a module which is assigned to me I have to upload a file, title, category, uploadedby details from a JSP to controller.do which stores the request and responce in a method named execute() which is present in Command.java Interface.
now when i pass all the Upload form details,, it goes all the way across to a class named ResourceCommand.java implements Command which calls a DAO and stops execution in middle !!!!
part of code from Upload.jsp
<form name="myform_up" method="post" action = "Controller">  
         <input type="hidden" name="form_action" value="resource" /> 
         <input type="hidden" name="action" value="insert" />
   <table>      
         <tr>
            <td>Document Title <font color="red">*</font></td></tr>
