- All Implemented Interfaces:
- FileItem,- FileItemHeadersSupport
 
 public class DiskFileItem extends java.lang.Object implements FileItem The default implementation of the FileIteminterface.After retrieving an instance of this class from a FileUploadinstance (see#parseRequest(org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.RequestContext)), you may either request all contents of file at once usingget()or request anInputStreamwithgetInputStream()and process the file without attempting to load it into memory, which may come handy with large files.Temporary files, which are created for file items, should be deleted later on. - Since:

Field Detail- 
DEFAULT_CHARSETpublic static final java.lang.String DEFAULT_CHARSET Default content charset to be used when no explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender. Media subtypes of the "text" type are defined to have a default charset value of "ISO-8859-1" when received via HTTP.- See Also:

Constructor Detail- 
DiskFileItempublic DiskFileItem(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String contentType, boolean isFormField, java.lang.String fileName, int sizeThreshold, java.io.File repository)Constructs a newDiskFileIteminstance.- Parameters:
- fieldName- The name of the form field.
- contentType- The content type passed by the browser or- nullif not specified.
- isFormField- Whether or not this item is a plain form field, as opposed to a file upload.
- fileName- The original file name in the user's file system, or- nullif not specified.
- sizeThreshold- The threshold, in bytes, below which items will be retained in memory and above which they will be stored as a file.
- repository- The data repository, which is the directory in which files will be created, should the item size exceed the threshold.

Method Detail- 
getInputStreampublic java.io.InputStream getInputStream() throws java.io.IOExceptionReturns anInputStreamthat can be used to retrieve the contents of the file.- Specified by:
- getInputStreamin interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- An InputStreamthat can be used to retrieve the contents of the file.
- Throws:
- java.io.IOException- if an error occurs.
 
 - 
getContentTypepublic java.lang.String getContentType() Returns the content type passed by the agent ornullif not defined.- Specified by:
- getContentTypein interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- The content type passed by the agent or nullif not defined.
 
 - 
getCharSetpublic java.lang.String getCharSet() Returns the content charset passed by the agent ornullif not defined.- Returns:
- The content charset passed by the agent or nullif not defined.
 
 - 
getNamepublic java.lang.String getName() Returns the original file name in the client's file system.- Specified by:
- getNamein interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- The original file name in the client's file system.
- Throws:
- InvalidFileNameException- The file name contains a NUL character, which might be an indicator of a security attack. If you intend to use the file name anyways, catch the exception and use- InvalidFileNameException.getName().
 
 - 
isInMemorypublic boolean isInMemory() Provides a hint as to whether or not the file contents will be read from memory.- Specified by:
- isInMemoryin interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- trueif the file contents will be read from memory;- falseotherwise.
 
 - 
getSizepublic long getSize() Returns the size of the file.
 - 
getpublic byte[] get() throws java.io.IOExceptionReturns the contents of the file as an array of bytes. If the contents of the file were not yet cached in memory, they will be loaded from the disk storage and cached.
 - 
getStringpublic java.lang.String getString(java.lang.String charset) throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException, java.io.IOExceptionReturns the contents of the file as a String, using the specified encoding. This method usesget()to retrieve the contents of the file.
 - 
getStringpublic java.lang.String getString() Returns the contents of the file as a String, using the default character encoding. This method usesget()to retrieve the contents of the file. TODO Consider making this method throw UnsupportedEncodingException.
 - 
writepublic void write(java.io.File file) throws java.lang.ExceptionA convenience method to write an uploaded item to disk. The client code is not concerned with whether or not the item is stored in memory, or on disk in a temporary location. They just want to write the uploaded item to a file.This implementation first attempts to rename the uploaded item to the specified destination file, if the item was originally written to disk. Otherwise, the data will be copied to the specified file. This method is only guaranteed to work once, the first time it is invoked for a particular item. This is because, in the event that the method renames a temporary file, that file will no longer be available to copy or rename again at a later time. 
 - 
deletepublic void delete() Deletes the underlying storage for a file item, including deleting any associated temporary disk file. This method can be used to ensure that this is done at an earlier time, thus preserving system resources.
 - 
getFieldNamepublic java.lang.String getFieldName() Returns the name of the field in the multipart form corresponding to this file item.- Specified by:
- getFieldNamein interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- The name of the form field.
- See Also:
- setFieldName(String)
 
 - 
setFieldNamepublic void setFieldName(java.lang.String fieldName) Sets the field name used to reference this file item.- Specified by:
- setFieldNamein interface- FileItem
- Parameters:
- fieldName- The name of the form field.
- See Also:
- getFieldName()
 
 - 
isFormFieldpublic boolean isFormField() Determines whether or not aFileIteminstance represents a simple form field.- Specified by:
- isFormFieldin interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- trueif the instance represents a simple form field;- falseif it represents an uploaded file.
- See Also:
- setFormField(boolean)
 
 - 
setFormFieldpublic void setFormField(boolean state) Specifies whether or not aFileIteminstance represents a simple form field.- Specified by:
- setFormFieldin interface- FileItem
- Parameters:
- state-- trueif the instance represents a simple form field;- falseif it represents an uploaded file.
- See Also:
- isFormField()
 
 - 
getOutputStreampublic java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream() Returns anOutputStreamthat can be used for storing the contents of the file.- Specified by:
- getOutputStreamin interface- FileItem
- Returns:
- An OutputStreamthat can be used for storing the contents of the file.
 
 - 
getStoreLocationpublic java.io.File getStoreLocation() Returns theFileobject for theFileItem's data's temporary location on the disk. Note that forFileItems that have their data stored in memory, this method will returnnull. When handling large files, you can useFile.renameTo(java.io.File)to move the file to new location without copying the data, if the source and destination locations reside within the same logical volume.- Returns:
- The data file, or nullif the data is stored in memory.
 
 - 
getTempFileprotected java.io.File getTempFile() Creates and returns aFilerepresenting a uniquely named temporary file in the configured repository path. The lifetime of the file is tied to the lifetime of theFileIteminstance; the file will be deleted when the instance is garbage collected.Note: Subclasses that override this method must ensure that they return the same File each time. - Returns:
- The Fileto be used for temporary storage.
 
 - 
toStringpublic java.lang.String toString() Returns a string representation of this object.- Overrides:
- toStringin class- java.lang.Object
- Returns:
- a string representation of this object.
 
 - 
getHeaderspublic FileItemHeaders getHeaders() Returns the file item headers.- Specified by:
- getHeadersin interface- FileItemHeadersSupport
- Returns:
- The file items headers.
 
 - 
setHeaderspublic void setHeaders(FileItemHeaders pHeaders) Sets the file item headers.- Specified by:
- setHeadersin interface- FileItemHeadersSupport
- Parameters:
- pHeaders- The file items headers.
 
 - 
getDefaultCharsetpublic java.lang.String getDefaultCharset() Returns the default charset for use when no explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender.- Returns:
- the default charset
 
 - 
setDefaultCharsetpublic void setDefaultCharset(java.lang.String charset) Sets the default charset for use when no explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender.- Parameters:
- charset- the default charset
