Maven issue with apache commons file upload

I am working on a maven project which requires the apache commons file upload dependency to upload file.

Whenever i try to run the upload servlet i get the following error.

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception

I've already checked out JSP - File upload with Apache Commons

they too seem to have been facing a similar problem

i already have commons io in my classpath

What seems to be the problem ?

You could try specifying an alternate group name for commons-io dependency and see if that helps.

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>
