Description

I am trying to resolve https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2585 but am lacking the means to do it. The current use is with the deprecated DiskFileUpload and I prefer to have this class fixed first. When SizeLimitExceededException is thrown, it does not return the items it has collected thus far. I see two possible solutions which involve adding a property on the exception to return them:

(1) Return the parameters thus gathered or
(2) finish out the input stream but throw away all file items and return only the text parameters.

Otherwise, whenever a the upload exceeds its limit, all other input parameters disappear.
