assuming you are using the package from javazoom (javazoom.upload*, javazoom.upload.parsing.*):

http://www.javazoom.net/jzservlets/uploadbean/documentation/api/javazoom/upload/MultipartFormDataRequest

in particular:

MultipartFormDataRequest mfdr = new MulitpartFormDataRequest(request);
String param = mfdr.getParameter("<your parameter>");

hello aarschie,

Just use jakarta Commons/FileUpload. It must solve all your problems.

yes commons/fileupload is a good product to parse multipart/form-data
