    <p>I'm trying to send a file to a Servlet. Along with this file, I also have to send some parameters (i.e. name/id, date and a few others). I'm using HttpClient on client-side and ServerFileUpload on server-side.</p> <p>This is the client-side code: ...</p> <pre><code>String url = "http://localhost:8080/RicezioneServlet/RicezioneServlet"; HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost(url); MultipartEntity mpe = new MultipartEntity(); //I'm sending a .zip file ContentBody cb = new FileBody(fileToSend,"application/zip"); mpe.addPart("file", cb); postMethod.setEntity(mpe); HttpResponse resp = httpclient.execute(postMethod); HttpEntity respEntity = resp.getEntity(); System.out.println(resp.getStatusLine()); </code></pre> <p>...</p> <p>on the server side, we've got:</p> <pre><code>ServletFileUpload sup = new ServletFileUpload(); FileItemIterator it = sup.getItemIterator(request); FileItemStream item = it.next(); InputStream ios = item.openStream(); //read from ios and write to a fileoutputstream. </code></pre> <p>Now, I don't know how to add the aforementioned parameters to the request... I tried to use a StringBody and to add it to the MultiPartEntity, but I get a NullPointerException at: </p> <pre><code>String author = request.getParameter("author"); </code></pre> <p>which means that the parameter isn't seen as a parameter, maybe? </p> <p>The only was I got it working was setting these parameters as Headers (setHeader and getHeader), but this is not an option.</p> <p>Any advice? Or maybe can you redirect me to a <b>full</b> example of file+parameter upload?<br> Thanks,<br> Alex</p>
