Spring Mvc Multiple File Upload With Html5 Multiple File Form Feature

I am trying to upload multiple files using spring 3.1.2 with @Controller and @RequestMapping. Here's what I did and my configuration. Html5 form :

named files[] (if one declares a variable name with that syntax, its name is files, but it is an array of the declaring type), Spring couldn't match it up - and the behavior in that case is to disregard the data in the request.

Using a type such as MultipartFile, you can use either a List named "files" or an array as the following examples:

privateList<MultipartFile> files;
privateMultipartFile[] files;

With appropriate getters and setters, you can then access and mutate the file list accordingly.

Solution 2:

Have included commons-fileupload dependency?

<dependency><groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId><artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId><version>1.3</version></dependency>

I tested the fileupload works fine even with ArrayList as the parameter type on the controller handler
