You should never assume that Part.write() or .transferTo() accepts fully
qualified locations on disk, its always relative to the
MultipartConfig.location.

See:

   - https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/1337
   - https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/http/Part.html
   -
   
https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/http/Part.html#write-java.lang.String-



The Apache Commons File Upload package (last time I looked) will delegate
to the servlet spec HttpServletRequest.getPart() behavior.
Since Tomcat's Part.write(String) allows you to write to any arbitrary
location on disk that's how Apache Commons File Upload expects it.

The javadoc for Part.write() says it will write relative to the
MultipartConfig.location.

I bet your configuration has MultipartConfig.location set to java.io.tmpdir
(the default value), hence why your transferTo() is prefixed with "/tmp"

This was brought up in the Servlet spec 4.0 discussions (not sure how it
was resolved)
