Thank you Geoff !
With your help and
http://outerthought.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FileUploadWithAction, finally I
get an stream generator that supports multipart http (for file transfer from
the client to cocoon). The problem is that I don't want cocoon to handle
automatically file updates, so I will have to disable it. An what is more, I
don't want to save the file in the server, just obtain an input stream from
the request and generate SAX events from it. Do you know how to obtain a
FilePartArray object from the HttpServletRequest or Request object? I'm not
able to do it with FilePartArray constructor because it is protected.
