Class FileUploadBase

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase
Direct Known Subclasses:
DiskFileUpload, FileUpload

public abstract class FileUploadBase extends Object
High level API for processing file uploads.

This class handles multiple files per single HTML widget, sent using multipart/mixed encoding type, as specified by RFC 1867. Use parseRequest(RequestContext) to acquire a list of FileItems associated with a given HTML widget.

How the data for individual parts is stored is determined by the factory used to create them; a given part may be in memory, on disk, or somewhere else.

    • isMultipartContent

      @Deprecated public static boolean isMultipartContent(HttpServletRequest req)
      Deprecated.
      1.1 Use the method on ServletFileUpload instead.
      Utility method that determines whether the request contains multipart content.
      Parameters:

    • isMultipartContent

      public static final boolean isMultipartContent(RequestContext ctx)

      Utility method that determines whether the request contains multipart content.
