Unless I'm mistaken, there is currently no clean way to disable Struts'
multipart handling mechanism. The class used for the multipart handler can
be specified in an init-param value, but if that is not supplied, the
default (DiskMultipartRequestHandler) is used.
Two cases where someone might want to disable Struts' multipart handling are
(1) where the container (e.g. Resin) provides multipart handling that is
adequate for the application's needs, and (2) where the application
developer wants to use an existing multipart handler (e.g. O'Reilly).
To allow the developer to disable Struts' built-in multipart handling, I
propose recognizing the special value 'none' for the 'multipartClass'
init-param. That is, the following, in web.xml, would disable Struts'
multipart handling:
<init-param>
<param-name>multipartClass</param-name>
<param-value>none</param-value>
</init-param>
Would anyone have a problem with this? If not, I'll go ahead and make the
change.
