[FileUpload] Servlet stopping at servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request)

[Ben Kuek <be...@abridge.com.au>]

I am new to writing servlets and am using commons-fileupload-1.2

I am trying to upload a multipart/form-data from a client application 
(written in C#)
to the servlet.

The servlet stops at:

servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request);

returning an internal server error (500) to the client.
There are no error messages printed.
System.out.println(exception.getMessage()); doesn't seem to do anything


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For testing, I made sure that the client sent the following string 
(example from RFC 1867):

Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=AaB03x
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="field1"
Joe Blow
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="pics"; filename="file1.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
... contents of file1.txt ...
--AaB03x--


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the servlet, I made sure that the string is received:

                int intChar;
                BufferedReader testBR = request.getReader();
                while( (intChar = testBR.read())  != -1) {
                    System.out.print((char)intChar);       
                }
                testBR.close();

                // string printed are as above
               
                // code stops here
                List items = servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I doing something wrong?

Warmest regards,
Ben
