今天在原来上传文件页面的基础上，想添加一段文件的简介

因为同时要上传文件，所以ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" 必须要加在form里面

可是这样的话，我再servlet里面用request.getParameter()方法无论如何都只是获得null值，

不是一般的郁闷，百度了一下，有人出现了同样的问题可是它用的是jspsmartupload组件实现文件上传的，

而我用的commons fileupload组件，仔细看了一下这个组件的api，可是英语太差了，没有发现相关的信息

我又尝试用session传递参数，可是发现有点麻烦，因为在表单提交之时你就得赋给session表单上它的数值，

这似乎要javascript，可是偶也不会，

后来只有google了，搜索了一些中文网页，也没有找到资料，试试不限制语言，呵呵呵，一大片，后来被俺发

现了这个

I cannot read the submitter using request.getParameter("submitter") (it returns null). ]

Situation:

javax.servlet.HttpServletRequest.getParameter(String) returns null when the ContentType is multipart/form-data

Solutions:

Solution A:

1. download http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html
2. invoke getParameters() on com.oreilly.servlet.MultipartRequest

Solution B:

1. download http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/fileupload/
2. invoke readHeaders() in 
org.apache.commons.fileupload.MultipartStream

Solution C:

1. download http://users.boone.net/wbrameld/multipartformdata/
2. invoke getParameter on 
com.bigfoot.bugar.servlet.http.MultipartFormData

Solution D:

Use Struts. Struts 1.1 handles this automatically.

说是不详细，接着往下看，另一种解决方法

The Solution B as given by my dear friend is a bit hectic and a bit complex :(
We can try the following solution which I found much simpler (at least in usage).

1. Download one of the versions of UploadFile from http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
2. Invoke parseRequest(request) on org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase which returns list of org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem objects. 
3. Invoke isFormField() on each of the FileItem objects. This determines whether the file item is a form paramater or stream of uploaded file. 
4. Invoke getFieldName() to get parameter name and getString() to get parameter value on FileItem if it's a form parameter. Invoke write(java.io.File) on FileItem to save the uploaded file stream to a file if the FileItem is not a form parameter. 

按照上面的步骤来，果然一切都ok，ＧＯＯＧＬＥ真不错，主要是getFieldName和getString，

虽然说这种做法有一点麻烦，但稍微判断加工一下，总比获取不到强
