FileUpload form field issue

[Edwin Ramirez <ed...@mssm.edu>]

Hello,

I've started using the fileUpload component to handle form submissions 
containing files.  I am following a very simple example and everything 
is working as expected.  However, it seems that multi-value form 
elements are not handled properly.

For example, the select tag such as:
<select name="multi" multiple size=5>
<option>One
<option>Two
<option>Three
<option>Four

<option>Five
<option>Six
<option>Seven
<option>Eight
<option>Nine
<option>Ten
</select><br/>

will only retrieve the last item selected.

I am using the getString() method of the FileItem interface.  Is there 
another method which returns an array of values?

Thanks,

No, it will result in N separate FileItem instances, one for each selected
item.

There is no array of values, unless you build one. Each value is a separate
item.
