Method Detail

• getInputStream

  InputStream getInputStream()
                             throws IOException

  Obtain an InputStream that can be used to retrieve the contents of the file.

  Returns:

  An InputStream for the contents of the file

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O occurs while obtaining the stream

• getContentType

  String getContentType()

  Obtain the content type passed by the browser.

  Returns:

  The content type passed by the browser or null if not defined.

• getName

  String getName()

  Obtain the name of the field in the multipart form corresponding to this part.

  Returns:

  The name of the field in the multipart form corresponding to this part.

• getSize

  long getSize()

  Obtain the size of this part.

  Returns:

  The size of the part if bytes

• write

  void write(String fileName)
             throws IOException

  A convenience method to write an uploaded part to disk. The client code is not concerned with whether or not the part is stored in memory, or on disk in a temporary location. They just want to write the uploaded part to a file. This method is not guaranteed to succeed if called more than once for the same part. This allows a particular implementation to use, for example, file renaming, where possible, rather than copying all of the underlying data, thus gaining a significant performance benefit.

  Parameters:

  fileName - The location into which the uploaded part should be stored. Relative locations are relative to MultipartConfigElement.getLocation()

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O occurs while attempting to write the part

• delete

  void delete()
              throws IOException

  Deletes the underlying storage for a part, including deleting any associated temporary disk file. Although the container will delete this storage automatically this method can be used to ensure that this is done at an earlier time, thus preserving system resources.

  Containers are only required to delete the associated storage when the Part instance is garbage collected. Apache Tomcat will delete the associated storage when the associated request has finished processing. Behaviour of other containers may be different.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O occurs while attempting to delete the part

• getHeader

  String getHeader(String name)

  Obtains the value of the specified part header as a String. If there are multiple headers with the same name, this method returns the first header in the part. The header name is case insensitive.

  Parameters:

  name - Header name

  Returns:

  The header value or null if the header is not present

• getHeaders

  Collection<String> getHeaders(String name)

  Obtain all the values of the specified part header.

  Parameters:

  name - The name of the header of interest. The header name is case insensitive.

  Returns:

  All the values of the specified part header. If the part did not include any headers of the specified name, this method returns an empty Collection.

• getHeaderNames

  Collection<String> getHeaderNames()

  Get the header names provided for this part.

  Returns:

  a Collection of all the header names provided for this part.
