upload multiple files with html5 multiple attribute - spring mvc -

i trying upload multiple files using html5 attribute multiple. link provide me start. however, facing problem not able read multipartfile in controller.

here pojo class

public class fileproduct {      private string name;     private list<multipartfile> images;  } 

my controller

public string processnewlisting(model model                             , @modelattribute fileproduct product                             , httpservletrequest request             ) {         list<multipartfile> files = product.getimages();         list<string> filenames = new arraylist<string>();         log.info("files legnth: " + files.size());         log.info("name: " + product.getname()); } 

and if form:

 <form:form commandname="product" action="${newlistingform }" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">      <form:input path="name" type="text"/>      <form:input path="images" type="file" multiple=""/>      <input type="submit">   </form:form> 

so able print out "name" in controller "files" has size of 1 regardless have selected file or not. have followed suggestion in link include common-fileupload , common-io, problem not fix.

in jsp use following

<form ation="your/path" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> 

in controller use following

import org.springframework.web.multipart.multipartfile; import org.springframework.web.multipart.multiparthttpservletrequest;  public string yourmethod(multiparthttpservletrequest request){  } 

this should resolve problem
