hello thomas, thank you for your help.

I used fileUpload successfully in the past, but I can't manage to make
it work in opencms.
i think that the problem is related to the fact that opencms processes
the request before passing it to my code.

what happens is that I get a multipart request, but the number of
items returned by the parser is always 0. this usually happens when
the request has already been parsed, in this case (I assume) by the
opencms servlet.

Here's my code:

<%
// Check that we have a file upload request
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
out.write("multipart? "+isMultipart);

FileItem item=null;
if (isMultipart) {
// Create a new file upload handler
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
// Parse the request
List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);
out.write("list size="+items.size());
}
%>
