file uploading

[reddy palwai]

Hi ,
I have a question about file uploading in servlets.
I have an html form with an input file type as FILE and enctype as multipart/form-data.
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="blobinsert" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="uploadfile">
In my servlet I need to get the parameters from the html form.
For text and other input types we can get the parameters using getParameter(). But how can I get the data from when file is uploaded?
Please Help!! this is kind of Urgent.
Thanks in advance.

you are better of using a custom API for this. I did a similar application recently and to get binary data I used
this API
Check it out its pretty simple and cuts down on a lot of work you'd have to do otherwise.
