Re: [Resteasy-developers] new multipart support

[Mike C. (mchack) <mc...@ci...>]

I'll give it some thought. I alsways like to think that simple is better
but it is hard to know when to draw the line relative to content types.

BTW., I had a slightly different problem that I was trying to solve. I
am using a custom servlet filter to implement a security front end. As
part of this I need the a sessionid as an input parameter. Usually
passed as a query string parameter. My client was a GWT application that
was using a form widget to upload a file. The widget was not able to
submit mulipart form and still present query string parameters. So, I
had to access multipart form in the servlet filter. Not a great thing I
found out as the input stream can't be reset.

By product of this is that I used O'Reilly servlet package here to
access multipart as it has a Servlet Request Wrapper that parses the
multipart data and stores files if any in a temp dir, later accessible
by the upstream servlet.

Just another twist on the general problem. Any thoughts on this or the
goodness/badness of having to access form data in a filter?

Thanks
