One last tidbit!
I might add that this means that presently anyone that does not use
the default Struts upload application cannot use the
MultipartRequestWrapper either even thought that really does not have
a thing to do with the application from the perspective of the request
processor. That is okay for me, since I parse and create my own
anyway. Others might be confused by this. I know I was.
