You would probably get a better response on servlet-interest if you specified "without writing to the server's filesystem" rather than "without uploading the file to the server". Obviously, you cannot upload the file without uploading it.
Maybe there is some javascript trick you can use with a mailto link that will cause an attachment client-side. If you want to perform the work on the server (buffering the upload in memory without touching the filesystem), you can use the extension I wrote to Jason Hunter's com.oreilly.servlet upload code. It's part of the image gallery sample j2ee application for the Maverick MVC framework (http://mav.sourceforge.net and http://mav.sourceforge.net/pig). The important bits of code are SafeMultipartFilter and SafeMultipartWrapper in this directory: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mav/pig/src/java/org/info hazard/pig/web/servlet/ Also, it sounds like JH is going to refactor the base code in some manner, so you might want to ask him about that.
