Uploading image and data in jsp form
I want to upload image along with data from jsp form. Then send these values to servlet.
My code for jsp form is as following:
<form action="AddController" method="post" name="addform" id="addform"  >
Name : <input type="text" name="myname">
Image : <input type="file" accept="image/*" name="file">
<input type="submit" name="add" id="add" value="Save"/>
</form>

The code for servlet is as following. The code :
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws    ServletException, IOException {

    String add=request.getParameter("add");
    if(add!=null) {

    String name =request.getParameter("myname");
    System.out.println(myname);

    String SAVE_DIR = "C:/uploadFiles";
    // gets absolute path of the web application
    String appPath = request.getServletContext().getRealPath("");
    // constructs path of the directory to save uploaded file
    String savePath =  SAVE_DIR;

    // creates the save directory if it does not exists
    File fileSaveDir = new File(savePath);
    if (!fileSaveDir.exists()) {
        fileSaveDir.mkdir();
    }

    for (Part part : request.getParts()) {
        String fileName = extractFileName(part);
        part.write(savePath + File.separator + fileName);
    }

    request.setAttribute("message", "Upload has been done successfully!");
    getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/addsuccessful.jsp").forward(
            request, response);
}
}
/**
 * Extracts file name from HTTP header content-disposition
 */
private String extractFileName(Part part) {
    String contentDisp = part.getHeader("content-disposition");
    String[] items = contentDisp.split(";");
    for (String s : items) {
        if (s.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
            return s.substring(s.indexOf("=") + 2, s.length()-1);
        }
    }
    return "";
}

I get the name value from text box. But image is not uploaded.
When I add enctype="multipart/form-data" in form then I am not getting name value. 
How to solve this issue????      

At the very least you should be able to understand the difference between the JSP and the HTML that is generated by it...
