Henrik, the problem here is the following: The getString() method returns the
contents of the file as a string, so the gif89a in your error message indicates
to me that you have been uploading a gif-file. The fi.write() takes the file
name as the parameter, and then you can see how you can end up in trouble with
your code... The fi.getFileName() returns the original filename with complete
path. I suggest you do something like the following:
String filename = fi.getFileName();
// Assuming the file was from a Win-post:
int pos = filename.lastIndexOf('\\');
filename = filename.subString(pos + 1);
fi.write( somePathWhereYouWantFiles + "/" + filename );
Hope this helps!
Harald
