File and data sending

Can anyone please tell me how to upload a file along with some data into the server??I want to do it like the way they do it in the blogs,where we can upload both file along with some information.I am using multipart/form-data but using this I cannot send the data.So it would be really helpful if someone provides me with the code....

1)page.jsp:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Display file upload form to the user</TITLE></HEAD> 
<BODY> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.jsp" METHOD=POST>
<br><br><br>
<center>
<table border="0" bgcolor=#ccFDDEE>
<tr><center><td colspan="2" align="center"><B>UPLOAD THE FILE</B><center></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> </td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Choose the file To Upload:</b></td><td><INPUT NAME="file" TYPE="file"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> </td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Send File"> </td></tr>
<table>
</center> 
</FORM>
</BODY>

2)upload.jsp:

DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
int formDataLength = request.getContentLength();
byte dataBytes[] = new byte[formDataLength];
int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength) {
byteRead = in.read(dataBytes, totalBytesRead,formDataLength);
totalBytesRead += byteRead;
}
String file = new String(dataBytes);
saveFile = file.substring(file.indexOf("filename=\"") + 10);
saveFile = saveFile.substring(0, saveFile.indexOf("\n"));

Sorry but this is not exactly what I want.By this code I can only send the file.All I want to do is that there would be a textarea and the user will be able to write something into the textarea.Then if he wants he can include files as well.After he has done these things ,there will be a submit button.Clicking on it will upload the file to the server and the data in the textarea to the database.
