ServletInputStream and sending multi-part stream

[Ijonas Kisselbach]

Hi,   I'm trying to simulate/test the sending of a multi-part stream of content to a servlet, as if the user had typed in some fields in a form, together with specifying a file for upload. This behaviour is often found in webmail sites for the handling of attachments.   Typically with a multi-part forms, the data sent is not available via request.getParameter() calls, but has to be parsed by interpreting the raw stream available through request.getInputStream(), which returns a ServletInputStream object.   I was hoping to find something similar to WebRequest.getOutputStream(), to mimick a multi-part form request, but couldn't find anything obvious in the Cactus APIs.   How do I go about achieving the above test scenario ? If possible....     Cheers, Ijonas Kisselbach.
