how to receive file from a INPUT=file tag in a servlet

eg
HTML file
<html>
<body>
<form action="servlet.YourServlet" method="get">
<input type="file" name="yourFile" size="50">
</body>
</html>

SERVLET file

req.getParameter("yourFile)"; // only gets the path name

question is how to get the whole file?

You need to use MultiPart Mime Parser. There are so many packages available
to read this. You can get orelly's implementation free from www.servlets.com.
