Craig, Thank you for your reply, this has cleared things up somewhat for me.
List, I wonder if there are any sites out there that I haven't come across yet that will give me a few hints on how to get a text file upload working on a JSP script. I'm only 3 days into working with JSPs, but I have experience with ColdFusion and PHP which apparently tend to do a lot of stuff for you behind the scenes, including file upload.
