With method="get", you will have all your name value pairs in the URL.
But with enctype="multipart/form-data" you have two separate problems. I'm pretty sure this must be method="post", so you don't have the URL problem... but there is a problem with parsing this post type, and an additional problem with certain web/application containers.
HttpRequest objects are only able to be made from the standard "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" type of post.
If you are doing multipart (probably because you are doing file upload), then you need a MultiPart processor. A fairly good one is available from
http://www.servlets.com/cos The additional container problem which I mentioned is not a problem on
Tomcat. But if you are writing a
servlet to run as part of a
J2EE application, running under a 'high end' (for one, iAS) application server, then the web container will actually attempt to parse this for you. Because it only knows how to parse a "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" post, it will encounter an "unexpected end of part" error, and (flakey!) it will drop the whole request, and pass null to your servlet. So even if you have the COS multipart processor, it receives null from your servlet runner! ARGH. But like I said, if you just use Tomcat you don't have this second problem.
