If you don't parse the stream, you will hava problems as there are some
informations before the actual file. For example you will get the
content-type of the document. One good solution however is to use
JspSmartUpload from http://www.jspsmart.com/ which is free and does all the
parsing. It includes samples to teach you how to use it.
