It's not a bug, but it is an unimplemented feature. You are trying to do
something not supported by the specs.
The servlet spec defines processing of request parameters *only* if the
encoding type is the default. The JSP spec relies on standard servlet
functionality for extracting request parameters. Neither spec includes
any support for file uploads. In order to process file uploads, you
will need to utilize a servlet, and one of the available upload processing
libraries.
