Of cos, the code that I was putting below was total crap.
I don't know why I was doing the (String) casting, and I meant:
// Returns a special type that allows you to write out the file, call
mpfile.getName() etc.
MultipartFile mpfile = req.getFileParameter("uploadedfile");
oh well.

ps. JavaOne is more than marketing? I thought it was the COMDEX of the Java
world ;)
