You're right in what you say and it does happen that way - after the parse,
but its actually in the Struts implementation of the MultipartHandler.
The default multipart handler for Struts is the
CommonMultipartRequestHandler - in it's addTextParameter() method it checks
to see if the Request is a MultipartRequestWrapper. If it is it adds the
parameter into the Request. Thats how the parameters get into the "wrapped"
request.

Since your using Commons fileupload directly, then thats why you're not
seeing this behaviour.
