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(HttpServletRequest) 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.

Method Detail

isMultipartContent

public static final boolean isMultipartContent(RequestContext ctx)

Utility method that determines whether the request contains multipart content.

NOTE:This method will be moved to the ServletFileUpload class after the FileUpload 1.1 release. Unfortunately, since this method is static, it is not possible to provide its replacement until this method is removed.

Parameters:

ctx - The request context to be evaluated. Must be non-null.

Returns:

true if the request is multipart; false otherwise.

isMultipartContent

public static boolean isMultipartContent(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req)

Deprecated. Use the method on ServletFileUpload instead.

Utility method that determines whether the request contains multipart content.

Parameters:

req - The servlet request to be evaluated. Must be non-null.

Returns:

true if the request is multipart; false otherwise.

getFileItemFactory

public abstract FileItemFactory getFileItemFactory()

Returns the factory class used when creating file items.

Returns:

The factory class for new file items.

setFileItemFactory

public abstract void setFileItemFactory(FileItemFactory factory)

Sets the factory class to use when creating file items.

Parameters:

factory - The factory class for new file items.

getSizeMax

public long getSizeMax()

Returns the maximum allowed size of a complete request, as opposed to getFileSizeMax().

Returns:

The maximum allowed size, in bytes. The default value of -1 indicates, that there is no limit.

See Also:

setSizeMax(long)

setSizeMax

public void setSizeMax(long sizeMax)

Sets the maximum allowed size of a complete request, as opposed to setFileSizeMax(long).

Parameters:

sizeMax - The maximum allowed size, in bytes. The default value of -1 indicates, that there is no limit.
