When a form has the ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data specified, the data sent is not
accessible via the request.getParameter method. You should only really need the
ENCTYPE when the form is posting files.
This is nothing to do with Tomcat. You need to decode the data using something like
Commons FileUpload 1.0 or similar.
Cheers, Allistair.
When using ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data in a form on a jsp page, text
sent ignores the SetCharacterEncodingFilter which is calling
request.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8);
I thought about getting parameter values by using
String field = request.getParameter(whatever);
field=new String(field.getBytes
(UTF-8));
Does this seem a reasonable approach or is should the
SetCharacterEncodingFilter *really* be setting the charEncoding?
I don't want to be creating a new string for every parameter unless
necessary.
When ENCTYPE is not set, all works as expected.
This problem is seen on Tomcat 5.0.28, but not 4.x versions. I
understand something changed around 5.0.27 for UTF-8 handeling but am
not sure if that is realated.
