getParameter() does not work between jsps ?

[Charlie]

Hi
I have two jsp files and I want have the value inputted in the first
one to be passed to the second one, but somehow I always received
"null" value. Can someone tell me why ?

Here are the hightlights of my jsp files.

===========
Upload.jsp
===========
....
<FORM name="fileform" ACTION="/Test/jsp/UploadText.jsp"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD=POST>
<b>Maximum Uploaded File:</b><INPUT type="text" name="MaxFile"
value="100" size=2><b>M</b><br><br>
<b>File Name:&nbsp</b><INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="uploadfile"
SIZE=20><b
r><br>

<INPUT NAME="Upload" TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Upload" size=30>
</FORM>
....

==============
UploadText.jsp
==============
....
<%
String Max = request.getParameter("MaxFile");
out.println("The Maximum file size is " + Max);
%>
....
=================

Hi Jim,
If I remove the "ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data", it also works for me.

But I have to leave it here. What happen is in my second jsp file, I
am using oreilly's MultipartRequest library to do the uploading. If
that item is not set, that uploading would not work.
That "MaxFile" is to decide the maximum size of file that can be
uploaded.

There must be a way to do it ?


thanks anyway for the help
