Can't get parameter in struts when using input type="file"...?

[Yashnoo lyo]

Hi everyone:
Can the common html tag and struts tag be used together?I have an example:in jsp
<html:form method="post" action="sendmail.do" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<tr><td>MailTo:</td><td>
<html:text property="mailto"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>MailFrom:</td><td>
<html:text property="mailfrom"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Subject:</td><td>
<html:text property="title"/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Content:</td><td>
<html:textarea property="content" rows="7" cols="30"/></td></tr><tr><td>
Attach:</td><td>
<input type="file" name="myfile"/></td></tr><tr><td>
<html:submit/><html:reset/>
</td></tr>
</html:form>

In Action,I want to use the code "request.getParameter("myfile")" to get the file real path.But I always get "null".Why "request.getParamter("myfile")" is null although I choose a file in jsp?
Can struts Tag and html Tag be use together?Thks
:roll:

Yes; html tags and struts tags do work together but what you have there is quite confusing. If I read it well it seems you are trying to be able to send attachments by mail. I am really not sure that is how to go about it.
At the same time I am only assuming.

Hi
Yes.I want to write a javamail application using struts.Add I want the application can attach attachment.So I must get the file path in Action.But I always get "null" if I use the code "request.getParameter("myfile")".
The Action is also a servlet so I think it will work.But it can't,why?

If you still looking for how to get a handle to myFile then copy this and paste on your servlet. I personally tried it and it worked; probably not the best of solutions.
String[] subString = (((BufferedReader)req.getReader()).readLine()).split("=") ;
String myFile=subString[subString.length - 1] ;
out .write(myFile) ; // prints the name of the file as String
