How to persist Image in Database Using Spring MVC3

controller:

public String postAdd(@ModelAttribute("employeeAttribute") @Valid Employee  employee,   BindingResult result,@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile   file) throws Exception{

       byte[] bFile=null;

       System.out.println("File Name......"+file.getName());

        if (!file.isEmpty()) {

          bFile = new byte[(int) file.getSize()];
        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file.getOriginalFilename());         
             fileInputStream.read(bFile);
             fileInputStream.close();
            }


              employee.setImage(bFile);

     employeeServiceImpl.add(employee);

}

Jsp Page:

     <c:url var="saveEmp" value="/manam/mobee/employee/add"/>
       <form:form modelAttribute="employeeAttribute" method="POST" action="${saveEmp}"          enctype="multipart/form-data" >
      <form:label path="image">Image</form:label>
       <input type="file" name="file" id="file"></input>

here Iam sending the C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert Landscape.jpg file but
FileInputStream it will take only Landscape.jpg .
please suggest how to set full file path for FileInputStream.

Here I am getting java.io.FileNotFoundException: Forest.jpg (The system cannot find the file specified) Exception.

The original file name is the name of the file on the end-user’s machine. Your Spring MVC application runs on your server machine. You can’t use the original file name, hope to find the absolute file name on the end-user machine, and even less try to read the file using this name.

To get the contents of the uploaded file, use MultipartFile.getBytes() or MultipartFile.getInputStream().
