commons fileupload null pointer exception
Hi,
I've developing a beta site which allows its user to submit resumes and I'm trying to use the fileupload component for the resume upload part. I've followed some sample code I can find but keep getting a null pointer exception. Anyone have any ideas?
The following is the error trace:

This is how I defined the component in the jsp file:
<t:inputFileUpload id="fileupload"
value="#{resumeUpload.resume}" storage="file"
styleClass="fileUploadInput" required="true" />
<h:commandButton value="Upload" action="#{resumeUpload.upload}"/>

This is what I put in web.xml:
<filter>
<filter-name>extensionsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.filter.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadMaxFileSize</param-name>
