But, first of all, you will need Commons Fileupload API, which will help you to use file.getFieldName() to display the Form Field Name and file.getContentType() to display Type of File and file.getName() to display File Name

public String convertFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) {
  boolean isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
    if(!isMultipart) {
            out.println("File Not Uploaded");
    }
    else{
        FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
        ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
        List items = null;
        try {
            items = upload.parseRequest(request);
          } catch (FileUploadException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            FileItem file = (FileItem) items.get(0);
            out.print("Field Name :"+file.getFieldName()); // Display the field name
            out.print("Content Type :"+file.getContentType()); // Display Type of File
            out.print("File Name :"+file.getName()); // Display File Name
        } catch (Exception e) {
            out.print(e);
        }
    }
 }
