Hi everyone,
Please let me first thank all of you who answered my previous question about
redirection. I have been able to solve my problem.
I have been working with ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" forms recently and
have faced a number of problems. I do not know if I am doing something
wrong, if this is the expected behaviour or if I am stumbling into orion
specific bugs.
The first problem is that I cannot use request.getParameter() to check the
value of "normal" field (as opposed to a "file" parameters). I assumed that
this was normal and that I had to examine the request header to do the
trick. Is this correct?
The second problem surged when trying to parse the request header. I tried
to do it from a JSP custom tag. In my code, I used
pageContext.getRequest().getInputStream() but got an unexpected result. I
can read part of the header but I do not get the full header, the beginning
is missing. Using reset() on the InputStream generates an IOException, as I
expected, but hey, I had to try!
I know that orion provides support classes to handle file uploads that I
could use to get my program to work but I would like to use my own to make
sure that I remain app server independent.
So, do you think I am facing some kind of bug that I should report? By the
way, I forgot to mention that I am using orion 1.4.0
Thnks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Huibert Aalbers
