com.oreilly.servlet cannot upload big files

[christine lorraine]

hi, i'm using oreilly's multipart class for my file uploads.
it is working well on my pc.. but when i tried my upload module on our production site an "Unexpected end of part" exception appears when the size of the file im uploading exceeds 100KB...
pls help.

Jason's multipart class has two different constructors, one that takes a size limit and one that doesn't. The default size limit is something like 100K or a Meg (I don't remember which). Is it possible you're using the constructor that doesn't take the size limit?
Otherwise, sounds like it might be a browser problem. Which browser version are you using?

Why dont you try
objMultipartRequest.getFileNames();

But now when i use req.getParameter("string") before MultipartRequest i get the null values, and in my program, i need one parameter to be retrived before multipartRequest.

you can retrieve the parameter from the multipart request object. If you 'need' the parameter before the file itself, for example, the parameter shows where to upload the file to, what you should do is upload to a temporary directory and retrieve the file path later, and then use the File i/o classes to move that file. This is the recommended behaviour if you read the cos faq.
