Sohalia,
It won't work. It won't compile b/c you cannot cast
javax.servlet.ServletInputStream to java.io.FileInputStream and there is no
getParameter method on an InputStream. Even if you fixed these compile
errors, your code does not handle the boundary lines between the multiple
parts of the message. I'd suggest that you try your code out and see for
yourself. If it were that easy, most people would write it themselves
rather than use a package such as Jason Hunter's com.oreilly.servlet package.
