How can my Servlet receive parameters from a multipart/form-data form?

Question

I have a page that has this piece of code:

<form action="Servlet" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="text" name="text1">
<input type="text" name="text2">
</form>

When I use request.getParameter("text1"); in my Servlet it shows null. How can I make my Servlet receive the parameters?

Answer 1

All the request parameters are embedded into the multipart data. You'll have to extract them using something like Commons File Upload: http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/
