FIle Uploads on tomcat

[tom]

I am developing locally on jetty and deploy it later to a tomcat. which works fine, except file uploads fail.

Uploading files works on jetty without problems, but on tomcat request.raw().getPart("file") always returns null.

i am using this piece of code: http://deniz.dizman.org/file-uploads-using-spark-java-micro-framework/

MultipartConfigElement multipartConfigElement = new MultipartConfigElement(somepath);

request.raw().setAttribute("org.eclipse.multipartConfig", multipartConfigElement);

Part file = request.raw().getPart("file");

i configured my web.xml as in the example on the website.

i added the multipart-config element, but it changes nothing.

does anyone has any idea how i get this to work ? 

Maybe the problem is, that the app is running as a filter ? 

thank you

Hi,

In addition to that link this is what I added:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/uploadimage">
    <input type="file" name="image">
</form>

Part someImage = request.raw().getPart("image");

Sorry Tom, my response probably doesn't help you at all as I misread your post! :)

I had the same problem. Eventually found it was a problem with tomcat. Need to set allowCasualMultipartParsing="true".  So in tomcat's context.xml set

<Context allowCasualMultipartParsing="true">
