[Springframework-developer] Spring 2.0 M2 - Portlet MVC now with full Multipart Support

[John L. <jl...@un...>]

The main change to the Portlet MVC area in Spring 2.0 M2 is the addition 
of full multipart support for file uploads. Many people have been 
waiting on this for quite a while, so we are excited it is finally 
available! We were unable to add it earlier because we need the JSR-168 
support in Jakarta commons-fileupload 1.1, which was not released until 
the end of the year.

The multipart functionality is essentially identical to the servlet 
side. You just instantiate a PortletMultipartResolver bean in your 
context and you are ready to go.  You can bind files directly into 
command objects attributes or cast your ActionRequest to a 
MultipartActionRequest to get at the normal MultipartFile objects. You 
will need to include commons-fileupload 1.1 and commons-io 1.1 in your 
libraries in order to use the multipart support.

I've updated the sample application to Spring 2.0 M2 and added a new 
portlet that demonstrates the multipart support.
