You're theory is correct. The input stream is consumed as it is parsed. The process flow doesn't seem to match what I'm seeing (Struts 1.2.4). In 1.2.4 all off this is handled in the request processor - not the servlet. The very first thing the request processor does (in processMultipart) is to parse the input stream and put all of the request paramaters in the wrapped request object.
You can access these with a simple request.getParamater() in processPreprocess in your extended request processor. There is still a problem with multipart requests in that the parameters are never available in JSPs, as they get the original (rather than the wrapped) request. I overcome this by coppying the paramaters into a request scoped map. Hope this is of some use.
