It's simple. The uploaded file will contain a byte[] of the contents of the uploaded file, so you can simply construct a String from it:

public void handleUpload(final FileUploadEvent event) throws IOException {
  String content = new String(event.getFile().getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}
