David,
in the FORM-tag of the HTML-file you should, as you mention, have a
'enctype="multipart/form-data' attribute. The receiving servlet could use
the MultipartRequest class which you can find at http://www.servlets.com
along with a complete example of how to do, namely
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/examples/ch04/UploadTest.java .
I have had some problems using this class, it seems that it in some cases
doesn't upload the whole file, pure text files appears to create no problem.
I haven't yet identified the problem why it doesn't upload the whole file.
The problem exists even if the size of uploaded file is smaller than the
size specified in the receiving servlet.
Good Luck!
/ Magnus
