MultipartHttpServletRequest File upload problem

[tomitzel]

Hi,
I'm trying to upload a file, but I keep getting a null MultipartFile back.
The controller code:

MultipartHttpServletRequest multipartRequest  = (MultipartHttpServletRequest)request;
		MultipartFile multipartFile = multipartRequest.getFile("configFile");

The input:

<input type='file' name='configFile' />

The bean:

<bean id="multipartResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
<property name="maxUploadSize" value="100000"/>
</bean>

I don't need to store the file, I only extract the content, thats all. If you have any questions about the code feel free to ask.
Thanks!

Did you clearly specify that it's a multipart form ?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
</form>

Yes.

<form method="post" action="view-config.htm" name="configform" enctype="multipart/form-data">
