/**
* A strategy interface for multipart file upload resolution in accordance
* with RFC 1867.
* Implementations are typically usable both within an application context
* and standalone.
*
* There are two concrete implementations included in Spring, as of Spring 3.1:
*
* - {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver}
* for Apache Commons FileUpload
*
- {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver}
* for the Servlet 3.0+ Part API
*
*
* There is no default resolver implementation used for Spring
* {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet DispatcherServlets},
* as an application might choose to parse its multipart requests itself. To define
* an implementation, create a bean with the id "multipartResolver" in a
* {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet DispatcherServlet's}
* application context. Such a resolver gets applied to all requests handled
* by that {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet}.
*
*
If a {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet} detects a
* multipart request, it will resolve it via the configured {@link MultipartResolver}
* and pass on a wrapped {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest}. Controllers
* can then cast their given request to the {@link MultipartHttpServletRequest}
* interface, which allows for access to any {@link MultipartFile MultipartFiles}.
* Note that this cast is only supported in case of an actual multipart request.
*
*
* public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
* MultipartHttpServletRequest multipartRequest = (MultipartHttpServletRequest) request;
* MultipartFile multipartFile = multipartRequest.getFile("image");
* ...
* }
*
* Instead of direct access, command or form controllers can register a
* {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.support.ByteArrayMultipartFileEditor}
* or {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StringMultipartFileEditor}
* with their data binder, to automatically apply multipart content to form
* bean properties.
*
* As an alternative to using a {@link MultipartResolver} with a
* {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet},
* a {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter} can be
* registered in {@code web.xml}. It will delegate to a corresponding
* {@link MultipartResolver} bean in the root application context. This is mainly
* intended for applications that do not use Spring's own web MVC framework.
*
*
Note: There is hardly ever a need to access the {@link MultipartResolver}
* itself from application code. It will simply do its work behind the scenes,
* making {@link MultipartHttpServletRequest MultipartHttpServletRequests}
* available to controllers.
