I don't remember the details why this is needed. 
Does the Servlet spec guarantee that or it is up to the container ?

Hi,

Last time when I tried to replace Commons Fileupload with pure Servlet API I 
faced these issues:

1) The Servlet API does not provide hooks to follow the upload progress

2) The Servlet API does not provide a way to cleanup after processing the 
uploaded files, i.e. the commons-fileupload Cleaner

This was 2016 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5192) so things may 
have changed in the meantime!

Martin
