Method Detail
-
getInputStream
InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException
Obtain anInputStream
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.
-
getSubmittedFileName
String getSubmittedFileName()
If this part represents an uploaded file, gets the file name submitted in the upload. Returnsnull
if no file name is available or if this part is not a file upload.- Returns:
- the submitted file name or
null
. - Since:
- Servlet 3.1
-
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 toMultipartConfigElement.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.
