[xwiki-users] no acces to POST data via $request.getName - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

8 Sep 2009

I would like to grep  some data from a file upload, but can't find a way
to do it.

Here are a simple example 

{{velocity}}

#foreach($prop in $request.getParameterNames())

  request.$prop

#end

{{html}}

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">

<div>

  <fieldset>

   <legend>Attach files to this document</legend>

   <div>

    <input name="a" value="" size="40"
type="text">

    <input name="b" value="" size="40"
type="file">

    <input name="c" value="" size="40"
type="text">

   </div>

   <div>

    <input value="Attach" class="button"
type="submit">

    <input value="Cancel" class="button"
type="reset">

   </div>

  </fieldset>

 </div>

</form>

{{/html}}

{{/velocity}}

It returns 

request.a
request.c

What happened to 'b', is  et a bug or a feature? Are there any way to
access the value of 'b'?

I've been looking at the java code but haven't  found anything claiming
it should be gone.
