oh, I see. that's something the servlet api doesn't do for you. to parse a
multipart request (that's what you use for file-upload) all you get is an
input stream that you can parse which you have to decode. however there are
plenty of utilities that do this for you. one is even shipped with orion.
check the api docs for FilePostParser. there is a source example of how to
use it.
just get the request input stream, apply the parser to it (again gives you
input stream on the decoded data items) and store copy the data from the
input stream to a file.
remember to set the form enctype to multipart/form-data.
that should be all you need to get going.
