Jochen Wiedmann resolved FILEUPLOAD-266.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The simple fact, that javax.activation.DataSource is nowadays
jakarta.activation.DataSource (or, in other words: The former is, at best,
deprecated.) demonstrates, that we are better off leaving such issues to the
fileupload user. If a DataSource is, what you need, then create one by wrapping
a FileItem.
> FileItem should extend javax.activation.DataSource (requires Java 1.6)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FILEUPLOAD-266
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-266
> Project: Commons FileUpload
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Eirik Lygre
> Priority: Minor
>
> FileItem currently does not implement javax.activation.DataHandler; the
> javadoc states "While this interface does not extend
> javax.activation.DataSource per se (to avoid a seldom used dependency),
> several of the defined methods are specifically defined with the same
> signatures as methods in that interface. This allows an implementation of
> this interface to also implement javax.activation.DataSource with minimal
> additional work."
> This limitation stems from 2002
> (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/fileupload/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItem.java?r1=133278&r2=133279&diff_format=h),
> at a time when javax.activation.DataSource was not part of Java SE (Or J2SE,
> which it was, back then!).
> Times have changed, and javax.activation.* have been part of Java SE proper
> since Java 6. If/when java6 is an accepted minimum for FileUpload, FileItem
> should extend javax.activation.DataSource.
