[JSP] Problem reading POST data in JSP

[eliokh]

Hello.

I'm a bit new to jsp and im facing the following problem:

After submitting the following form:

	  <form method="post" action="Jsp_confvirchq.jsp" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"  name="virchq" onsubmit='VerifyForm(document.virchq)' >   

				    <input type="file" name="upfile" >
				    <input type="hidden" name="virtype" value="virchq" />

				    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

</form>
[/CODE]

I try to read the hidden field value in JSP using

request.getParameter("virtype") and it is always set to null.. Any suggestions?

thanks in advance
