[opencms-dev] multipart/form-data with other parameters

[Urich, Chase]

After doing a bit more research, which I should have done first, I found
that OpenCMS tries to help me with this, but I am confused as to how to
use the OpenCMS functionality that is built in. I found the class
CmsRequestHttpServlet, but I have no idea how to obtain an instance of
it. If I try to create an instance, I'm told that there is no public
constructor, so how am I supposed to use this? It looks like it will do
absolutely everything I need right now ... If I can get it to work :)

Anyone willing to shed some light on this subject for me? I'm still very
new at Java as a whole.

Chase,

I assume this is a normal behavior for file uploads using multipart and
not OpenCMS specific. There are a lot of servlet/jsp libraries available
which provide a wrapper to access the binary data and the regular
parameter. We always use the one from O'reilly:
