Answer 1

Just wanted to thank Balus C. Code Java with JSP, in Tomcat/Tomee server I the following code that works:

private Boolean SaveUserItemImage(Part ui, String bid) throws IOException {

    Boolean fileCreate = false;
    OutputStream out = null;
    InputStream filecontent = null;
    ExternalContext ctx = context().getExternalContext();
    String absoluteWebPath = ctx.getRealPath("/");
    String resource_path = absoluteWebPath + "\\resources\\";
    String image_path = resource_path + "\\" + this.itemType + "_images\\";
    String buildFileName = image_path + bid + "_" + getFileName(ui);
    File files = null;

    try {
      files = new File(buildFileName);
      fileCreate = true;
    } catch (Exception ex) {
      System.out.println("Error in Creating New File");
      Logger.getLogger(ItemBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

    if (fileCreate == true) {
      if (files.exists()) {
        /// User may be using same image file name but has been editted
        files.delete();
      }

      try {
        out = new FileOutputStream(files);
        filecontent = ui.getInputStream();
        int read = 0;
        final byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
        while ((read = filecontent.read(bytes)) != -1) {
          out.write(bytes, 0, read);
        }
        fileCreate = true;
      } catch (FileNotFoundException fne) {
        fileCreate = false;
        Logger.getLogger(ItemBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "SaveUserItemImage", fne);
      } finally {
        if (out != null) {
          out.close();
        }
        if (filecontent != null) {
          filecontent.close();
        }
        files = null;
      }
    }
    return fileCreate;
  }
