ServletFileUpload, name = null

[JochenKlein]

I upload a File with ServletFileUpload.
the fileitem is ok, but the name of the item is null.
The result of item.getFieldname is 'file1'
I want to get the filename to be able to also store he mimetype of the file.

Please, do anyone knows what I can do?

have you tried your application with another browser?
usually what information is submitted to the server depends on the browser.
btw: you can determine the mime/filetype by reading the first 4 or 6 bytes from the submitted data. this usually contains the fileheader and thus the filetype.
