Class MultiPartFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.mortbay.servlet.MultiPartFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public class MultiPartFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Multipart Form Data Filter.

This class decodes the multipart/form-data stream sent by a HTML form that uses a file input item. Any files sent are stored to a tempary file and a File object added to the request as an attribute. All other values are made available via the normal getParameter API and the setCharacterEncoding mechanism is respected when converting bytes to Strings. If the init paramter "delete" is set to "true", any files created will be deleted when the current request returns.
