Since you failed to ask a question, I'll ask one or two..

OK.. so does this mean you'd like us to recommend a
good consultant?  Or would you perhaps prefer to launch
into some tutorials, try hacking out some code, and come
back to us with specific questions?  Some, other form of
help, maybe?

Or did I miss your point?  Were you just after words of
support for your coming endeavour?

Try - 'Go, Team!'.

I take it (because you're using tomcat) that you're talking about a web
application and the client is a browser. In HTML there is a <input
type="file" name="uploadfile" /> tag for forms that allow users to select a
file for uploading. In a POST request the file contents is copied within the
servlet request--you just read it from the input stream.  I can't seem to
lay my hands on sample code right now, but you can figure it out from the
servlet API.  Some online source code for file update is here

There is some good info here
