Problem with POST method

[Bedilu Habte <ha...@cai.de>]

I have the following form in my jsp-file used to uoload a file:

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" 
      ACTION='<%= response.encodeURL("/myWeb/servlet/UPDoc") %>' 
      METHOD="POST" >
     Which file do you want to Upload ? <INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="upDoc" />

<P />
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload" />
</FORM>

The servlet "UPDoc" is used to pass the content of the uploaded file 
to a helper class which saves the same into a database.

The problem is that the file is not uploaded at the first place.
Following is part of the check I made in the servlet code before accessing
any of 
the other parameters:

        // the servlet inputstream
        ServletInputStream sis = request.getInputStream();        
        int len = sis.available();    // this is always 0

        ....
        out.println("protocol    = "+request.getProtocol()+"<br />");  //
gives HTTP/1.0
 

I used tomcat-3.2.1 and changed to version 3.2.3. This doesn't help either.



please HELP!!
