I build a flow which create a case in a salesforce. Now, I am trying to upload a file to that case programmatically. Basically the client uploads the file manually in the server. now the question is how could I upload it by java rest based web service. it's good to have any links which describe about this topic.
To upload files to a library, select the library and then click Add Files. Files you upload to a library inherit the sharing settings of that library. You can also add files to Salesforce by: Attaching a file to a Chatter post.
First try to read the documents below:
See the following:
http://www.salesforce.com/in/?ir=1
API doc:
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_document.htm
Examples:

The following code allows you to upload a physical file to Salesforce.com and attach it to a record.
Code:
try {
File f = new File("c:\java\test.docx");
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);
byte[] inbuff = new byte[(int)f.length()];
is.read(inbuff);
Attachment attach = new Attachment();
attach.setBody(inbuff);
attach.setName("test.docx");
attach.setIsPrivate(false);
// attach to an object in SFDC
attach.setParentId("a0f600000008Q4f");
SaveResult sr = binding.create(new com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.SObject[] {attach})[0];
if (sr.isSuccess()) {
System.out.println("Successfully added attachment.");
} else {
System.out.println("Error adding attachment: " + sr.getErrors(0).getMessage());
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnf) {
System.out.println("File Not Found: " +fnf.getMessage());
} catch (IOException io) {
System.out.println("IO: " +io.getMessage());
}
Please try this and let me know in case of any concern.
