/**
* NOTE: This code has been copied from commons-fileupload trunk
* 1.3 and commons-io 1.4 and package renamed to avoid clashes with
* any web apps that may wish to use these libraries.
*
*
* A component for handling HTML file uploads as specified by
* RFC 1867.
* This component provides support for uploads within both servlets (JSR 53)
* and portlets (JSR 168).
*
*
* While this package provides the generic functionality for file uploads,
* these classes are not typically used directly. Instead, normal usage
* involves one of the provided extensions of
* {@link org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUpload FileUpload}
* together with a factory for
* {@link org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileItem FileItem} instances,
* such as
* {@link org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory DiskFileItemFactory}.
*
*
* The following is a brief example of typical usage in a servlet, storing
* the uploaded files on disk.
*
* public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
* DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
* // maximum size that will be stored in memory
* factory.setSizeThreshold(4096);
* // the location for saving data that is larger than getSizeThreshold()
* factory.setRepository(new File("/tmp"));
*
* ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
* // maximum size before a FileUploadException will be thrown
* upload.setSizeMax(1000000);
*
* List fileItems = upload.parseRequest(req);
* // assume we know there are two files. The first file is a small
* // text file, the second is unknown and is written to a file on
* // the server
* Iterator i = fileItems.iterator();
* String comment = ((FileItem)i.next()).getString();
* FileItem fi = (FileItem)i.next();
* // file name on the client
* String fileName = fi.getName();
* // save comment and file name to database
* ...
* // write the file
* fi.write(new File("/www/uploads/", fileName));
* }
*
*
* In the example above, the first file is loaded into memory as a
* {@code String}. Before calling the {@code getString} method,
* the data may have been in memory or on disk depending on its size. The
* second file we assume it will be large and therefore never explicitly
* load it into memory, though if it is less than 4096 bytes it will be
* in memory before it is written to its final location. When writing to
* the final location, if the data is larger than the threshold, an attempt
* is made to rename the temporary file to the given location. If it cannot
* be renamed, it is streamed to the new location.
*
*
* Please see the FileUpload
* User Guide
* for further details and examples of how to use this package.
