enctype="multipart/form-data" and POST method

[S.Hage]

Hi All,

I have a very big FORM (.ftl) with many inputs, among them I have one "<input type="file"> for uploading an image file, for this reason I set the enctype of the form to "multipart/form-data". The values of the inputs look like this:

   
                    …..
ETC..

The problem is when  enctype equal to "multipart/form-data" the <#if requestParameters.USER_FIRST_NAME?has_content> return null even if requestParameters.USER_FIRST_NAME has content. If I remove the enctype then everything is Ok and the values take the value of requestParameters.USER_FIRST_NAME.

I believe that the problem is directly related to the enctype="multipart/form-data" but I don’t know how I can get rid from this situation.

Any explanation?

Thanks in advance.

${uiLabelMap.PartyFirstName}

<input type="text" class="required" id="USER_FIRST_NAME " name="USER_FIRST_NAME " size="30" maxlength="60"        <#if requestParameters.USER_FIRST_NAME?has_content>            value="${requestParameters.USER_FIRST_NAME}"        </#if>       />${uiLabelMap.CommonRequired}

multipart/form-data is handled differently from regular forms, if you  
are triggering a service event on form submission then the parameters  
from this type of form can be retrieved using:
${parameters.multiPartMap.USER_FIRST_NAME}

If you aren't using a service event first then you'll have to handle  
it manually using ServiceEventHandler.java code as an example.
