+1  A: 

Since you post using multipart encoding ('multipart/form-data') the parameters are not present as you expect.

If for instance you are using commons-fileupload the parameters would be present as and are identifiable using the 'isFormField' method on the FileItem object.

Most (every) modern webframeworks abstract this away and make this sort of stuff much easier by the way.
