Description

Changes regarding to Tobago 2.0.x:

• You no long need to define a TobagoMultipartFormdataFilter in the web.xml
• There is no longer a tobago-fileupload.jar
• Remove the dependency to commons-fileupload.jar in your web app, if there is any.

Usage:

• If using JSF 2.0 or 2.1 (not for 2.2. and higher) you will need to add a tag <multipart-config> Tag to the FacesServlet config in the web.xml

    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>FacesServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class&gt;javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class&gt;
      <multipart-config>
        <location>/tmp</location>
        <max-file-size>20848820</max-file-size>
        <max-request-size>418018841</max-request-size>
        <file-size-threshold>1048576</file-size-threshold>
      </multipart-config>
    </servlet>
  

• The type of value of the <tc:file> has been changed from org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem to javax.servlet.http.Part.
• To access from the Java bean see this example:

    private Part file1; // + getter and setter
     
    public String upload() {
      InputStream is = part.getInputStream();
      ...
    } 
  

• Is using Servlet API 3.1 you may call part.getSubmittedFileName(), for 3.0 you may use the Utility org.apache.myfaces.tobago.internal.util.PartUtils.getSubmittedFileName(part)
