Yes, I figured out that the parsePostData is intended for mime-encoded
multipart forms, not regular HTML forms.
I made myself a helper class to move all the form data into a hashtable. You
have to call this from within the JSP page, but then you can pass the
hashtable anywhere you want.
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
public class FormCollector
{
public static Hashtable parseForm(ServletRequest request)
{
Hashtable result = new Hashtable();
Enumeration names = request.getParameterNames();
while ( names.hasMoreElements() )
{
String name = (String) names.nextElement();
result.put( name, request.getParameter(name) );
}
return result;
}
}
