Error in uploading a file using Jersey rest service - rest

Question

I am using jersey for building rest service which will upload a file. But I am facing problem in writing a file to required location. Java throws a system cannot find specified path error. Here is my Web service :
#POST
#Path("/fileupload")
#Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(#FormDataParam("file")InputStream fileUploadStream, #FormDataParam("file")FormDataContentDisposition fileDetails) throws IOException{
StringBuilder uploadFileLocation= new StringBuilder();
uploadFileLocation.append("c:/logparser/webfrontend/uploads");
uploadFileLocation.append("/"+dateFormat.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime()));
uploadFileLocation.append("/"+fileDetails.getFileName());
writeToFile(fileUploadStream, uploadFileLocation.toString());
return Response.status(200).entity("File saved to " + uploadFileLocation).build();
}
private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadInputStream, String uploadFileLocation)
{
log.debug("UploadService , writeToFile method , start ()");
try{
int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[uploadInputStream.available()];
log.info("UploadService, writeToFile method , copying uploaded files.");
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadFileLocation));
while ((read = uploadInputStream.read(bytes)) != -1)
{
out.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
log.error("UploadService, writeToFile method, error in writing to file "+e.getMessage());
}
}

From looking at just the code (it's usually helpful to include the exception and stack trace), you're trying to write to a directory based on a timestamp which doesn't exist yet. Try adding a call to File.mkdir/mkdirs. See this question/answer: FileNotFoundException (The system cannot find the path specified)
Side note - Unless you have a reason not to, I'd consider using something like Apache commons-io(FileUtils.copyInputStreamToFile) to do the writing.
