Input TYPE TEXT Value from JSP form (enctype="multipart/form-data") returns null [duplicate]

Question

I need to upload an image:

<form method="post" action="hi.iq/register.jsp" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="J.Doe">
    file: <input type="file" name="file-upload">
    <input type="submit">
</form> 

In my servlet I gave

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();    

String name = request.getParameter("name");

System.out.println("user_id========= "+name);

but the value of name is returned as NULL.

Pls Help

Answer 1

Try <input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="J.Doe">.

Edit:

A sample using Apache Commons Fileupload, as suggested by David's answer:

FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();

// Set factory constraints
// factory.setSizeThreshold(yourMaxMemorySize);
// factory.setRepository(yourTempDirectory);

// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload( factory );
// upload.setSizeMax(yourMaxRequestSize);

// Parse the request
List<FileItem> uploadItems = upload.parseRequest( request );

for( FileItem uploadItem : uploadItems )
{
  if( uploadItem.isFormField() )
  {
    String fieldName = uploadItem.getFieldName();
    String value = uploadItem.getString();
  }
}

Answer 2

Try

     FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
     ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
     Iterator<FileItem> iterator = upload.parseRequest(request).iterator();
     File uploadedFile;
     String dirPath="D:\fileuploads";
     while (iterator.hasNext()) {

                    FileItem item = iterator.next();
                    if (!item.isFormField()) {

                        String fileNameWithExt = item.getName();

                        File filePath = new File(dirPath);

                        if (!filePath.exists()) {
                            filePath.mkdirs();
                        }

                        uploadedFile = new File(dirPath + "/" + fileNameWithExt);
                        item.write(uploadedFile);                  
                    }
                    else {
            String otherFieldName = item.getFieldName();
            String otherFieldValue = item.getString()
                    }
               }

It needs Apache commons-fileupload.jar and commons-io.jar
