I'm not the original API designer, so I can't give you a definitive answer. However, returning a Map would result in a loss of information, since you would no longer know the order in which the parts were submitted. While that information might not be important to you, it might be crucial to someone else.

Hi, I am looking at UploadServlet for the first time and wondering the obvious - why does parseRequest() return a List and not a Map? I already see that I will write a utility to convert the List to a Map so that I can retrieve form params by name as per servlet programming style? Sorry if this has been asked a million times. Thanks, chris
