Ahh....
This is a bit more complicated than you might think.
Basically the problem is that the Servlet API is not able to do this
"out of the box".
What happens is the browser sends the file in a multipart request.
Servlet engines cannot handle the multipart request themselves so you
have to parse it with your own code.
There is an excellent discussion of this in Jason Hunter/William
Crawford's (very good) book on Java Servlets available from O'Reilly.
I really recommend that you but it - it's invaluable for this
problem.
