We tried to get rid of commons-fileupload in favour of Servlet API for our 
project where we disable multipart and use streaming (not to store files on the 
disk). And it looks like Servlet API doesn’t provide a convenient way of 
streaming the attachments (like commons-fileupload does) so in the end we 
concluded that we need to implement something similar to what we get from 
commons-fileupload OR to wait for version commons-fileupload:2.0.
