Thank you everyone for your help! I didn't realize that
request.getParameter("") can't read any params from a multipart/form-data
request. Is this something that is specific to tomcat, or do you have to
parse out all the parameters on your own for any server? I guess this might
be the way the java servlet code works. Funny that there no exceptions or
anything though, it just doesn't display the page.

You'll need to package your data in a MIME message. There may be something
in the O'Reilly package for that; if not, you can use JavaMail, available
at,
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html
Look specifically at the javax.mail.internet package, and all the Mime*
classes.
