RE: SOLVED Tomcat 7.06 HttpRequestServlet.getPart() returns null in servlet

Never mind. I found that the JSF servlet could not handle getPart() properly so I had to map the servlet to the default Tomcat servlet.
 
Thanks for looking at it.

According to the information in bug # 49711, I cannot do this with a filter in Tomcat 7, but I can in a servlet. However, using the following servlet, HttpRequestServlet.getPart() returns null. This code works fine in Glassfish. It was mostly generated by Netbeans 6.9.1. The error message follows.
