Subject: problem in retrieving data from <selecet multiple> tag using common
file upload
have a form, *enctype="multipart/form-data"*, with one
<select name="XX" multiple="multiple">
which allows the user to select multiple options. When handling the POST
using Apache Commons FileUpload, I detect the *select* field via
// Process a regular form field
if {item.isFormField()) {
String name = item.getFieldName();
String value = item.getString();
}
The problem I'm having is that *item.getString();* returns only the first
selected value from the *select* field; no matter how many items I pick, I
only get the first item.
Likewise, when I use the standard servlet method for parameter extraction,
ie.
final String[] values = request.getParameterValues("XX");
values is empty, which I assume is because the form is encoded multipart.
How can I retrieve these multiple selected values from my multi-select
field?
Thanks
