Hi,
You cant use request.getParameter("yourVarName")with a multipart-form.
You need to use the MultipartRequest object
to retrieve your values
i.e. MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, tempDir, 2000 *
1024);
then you should be able to retrieve your parameter with
multi.getParameter("yourVarName")
Regards
Peter

Subject: Problem with ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
According to what I read and assumed, you should be able to send form data
along with an uploaded file using ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data... but in
practice I was not able to get this working. My file would come across
fine, but my form data would not be there. If I changed the form enctype
back to normal(just took it out), the form data would appear just fine(but
of course the file didn't come through). Am I misunderstanding how
ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data is used?
I was able to get around this problem by using some javascript to append the
variable to the URL when the file is posted.
Thanks.
Paul M.
