One last note: IMO, as a rule (and esp in the commons), you should make
every effort to avoid breaking the API between a beta and a final.
FileUpload did not go final, if went to RC1. Changes between RCs and final
could be considered inappropriate but not from beta to RC.
See the Release Types
FileUpload.setRepositoryPath(String) and FileItem(String) were removed from
the fileupload RC 1 release, which breaks the Tomcat 4.1.x and 5.0.x build.
The first method has no apparent replacement (but I didn't try to dig
around).
This is clearly an unacceptable situation from the Tomcat perspe
