I had some problems with commons-fileupload recently. Someone pointed
out that it's file uploading is supported natively in the servlet spec,
as javax.servlet.http.Part and is quite easy to use. I converted my code
quite easily -- the only hassle is that servlets using it need to have a
     <multipart-config/> tag inside the <servlet> setup in the web.xml.

I believe that this also exists as jakarta.servlet.http.Part, so this
might be the way to go.

I wholeheartedly support using jakarta.servlet.http.Part (or the older javax.servlet.http.Part)

If you define your servlets with annotations, you can also use the @MultiPartConfig annotation (instead of defining it in the web.xml)
