I have just recently seen this too. In my case, I had two upload fields. Whichever one was first, would not work, the second one would. I then upgraded to the Jan 2001 version of the oreilly stuff, and started getting your message. I suspect a client issue - I am using IE 5.5 SP1. I have not yet been able to track down the problem though.

They tested out fine on our NT development platform using Sun JDK 1.3. Our production environment is Sun Solaris on Sparc, using Sun JDK 1.3. On Sun, upload of text files work fine, but trying to upload a Microsoft Word document results in a null pointer exception. I haven't debugged this yet, but I notice a file of zero size with the correct name in the upload directory, so the file part is obviously being found. We have a different app on a different Sparc box using JDK 1.2.2, and it appears to work okay. Are there any known issues with the Multipart classes on JDK 1.3 on Sparc? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
