I guess you are not using Alfresco SDK for your development. If u are not using SDK, first download SDK then you will get some examples. After that ur development becomes easy.
Any way, I hope the following code will help you.

public static void uploadFile(){
      String msg="";
      try {
         String fileName="";
         String title="testfile";
         String description="xml file";

         String path = "C:/application-context.xml";
         path = path.replaceAll("\\\\", "/");
         fileName = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf('/')+1,path.length());
         String ext= fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('.')+1,fileName.length());
         System.out.println("FileName    ==== >> "+fileName);
         System.out.println("Path       ==== >> "+path);
