Description

Somewhere in the documentation (User guide and/or FAQ) I think there should be at least one sentence specifying that FileUpload requires the Apache commons-io package.

From someone who spent a good 4h of frustration to learn that.

Also in the User guide:

// Check that we have a file upload request
boolean isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);

isMultipartContent is Deprecated and I couldn't find a replacement for it in 1.1.1. And in the following:

// Create a factory for disk-based file items
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();

// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);

// Parse the request
List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);

the factory is not working in this state you need to

factory.setRepository(someDir);

or use the other constructor.

otherwise thanks for an other great product (now that I can use it)

PS Why are you not using generics?
