Glad to see it's working out for you.

It was I who mentioned potential performance degradation. If you aren't
in a super-high-concurrency situation, I don't think you'll notice.

Take a thread dump. Or, multiple thread dumps during this one-minute
interval. They should tell the story.

This might be a keepalive timeout, or the JSP might not be flushing the
buffer or something like that.

Does your code do anything after the forward() call above? If you have
clean-up code that, say, deletes the temporary files, etc. it's possible
that it is delaying the return from your servlet's service() method and
so Tomcat isn't indicating to the client that the transaction is complete.
You should put a log message just before your return (or just before the
end of the method if you have no returns in there) and see when that
gets printed. That will at least tell you if the delay is in your code
or elsewhere.

The multipart request is still available to the JSP (because you used a
forward call) put it's already been parsed by the servlet so there
shouldn't be anything else to read.

Tomcat does not cache anything at all in these cases... everything will
be done by your file-upload component. Time for more debugging. :)
