Sorry for not replying to the thread started by Eric Pugh at http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg32368.html, but I've only just joined commons-dev as suggested to me by Yoav on tomcat-dev. We were discussing a related topic there.
I've gone through signifcant efforts to extend commons-fileupload using Listener interfaces in order to support a progress bar to no avail. I researched what others have done, including but not limited to http://www.javazoom.net/jzservlets/uploadbean/uploadbean.html (which, by the way, seems to redistribute commons-fileupload without any mention of Apache). I do not see how this problem can be tackled without writing one's own (or extending another) servlet container. There is currently no way in the servlet spec to know the number of bytes that have been read as a ServletRequest is being processed. By the time Servlet.service() or Filter.doFilter() are called, the *entire* InputStream has been read from the socket, leaving no way to provide user feedback during the upload. I could be totally off base here, and if I am, I'd appreciate it if someone would show me the light. Thank you, Eric H.
