 * org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUpload FileUpload} instance (see
 * {@link org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUpload
 * #parseRequest(RequestContext)}), you may

 * it into memory, which may come handy with large files.

 * 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
 * <code>javax.activation.DataSource</code> with minimal additional work.
