Problem with file upload. Problem lies in javascript/dojo

[chris gar]

I'm getting the following error:
InvalidContentTypeException: the request doesn't contain a multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed stream, content type header is null

Here is the html:

 <form type="dijit.form.Form" id="upload" name="upload" method="post"
      enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <label for="file">File to upload: </label>
    <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
    <button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" type="button" value="Send File"
            onclick="sendFile()">Send File</button>
</form>   

Here is the servlet code:

     
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    } 

 private void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        try {
            FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
            ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
            List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);

            Iterator iter = items.iterator();
            while (iter.hasNext()) {
                FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();

                if (item.isFormField()) {
                    String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
                    String fileName = item.getName();
                    String contentType = item.getContentType();
                    boolean isInMemory = item.isInMemory();
                    long sizeInBytes = item.getSize();

                } else {
                    //stuff for non file input (text box etc)
                }
            } ...

 

finally here is the java script/dojo

 <script type="text/javascript">

    function sendFile() {

        dojo.io.iframe.send({
            url: "PaxControlTest", 
            method: "post",
            handleAs: "text",
            form: dojo.byId("upload"),
            load: function(response, ioArgs) {
           
                console.log("Upload OK", response, ioArgs);
                return response;
            },
            error: function(response, ioArgs) {
               
                console.log("Upload FAILED!!!", response, ioArgs);
                return response;
            }
        });
    }
</script>   

Why isn't the servlet seeing that the form is enctype="multipart/form-data"?

Your assistance is appreciated.

Maybe set the mimetype in the send object?

Aha!

It wasn't related to the attached code. Someone left an open <form> tag which was the root of the problem.

I closed it before my form and it works.

Thanks!
