## org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload
Class DefaultFileItemFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.DefaultFileItemFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
  FileItemFactory

    public class DefaultFileItemFactory

extends java.lang.Object
implements FileItemFactory

The default `FileItemFactory` implementation. This implementation creates `FileItem` instances which keep their content either in memory, for smaller items, or in a temporary file on disk, for larger items. The size threshold, above which content will be stored on disk, is configurable, as is the directory in which temporary files will be created.

If not otherwise configured, the default configuration values are as follows:

- Size threshold is 10KB.
- Repository is the system default temp directory, as returned by `System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")`.

Field Summary
`static int` | `DEFAULT_SIZE_THRESHOLD` The default threshold above which uploads will be stored on disk.

Constructor Summary
`DefaultFileItemFactory()` Constructs an unconfigured instance of this class.
`DefaultFileItemFactory(int sizeThreshold, java.io.File repository)` Constructs a preconfigured instance of this class.

Method Summary
`FileItem` | `createItem(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String contentType, boolean isFormField, java.lang.String fileName)` Create a new `DefaultFileItem` instance from the supplied parameters and the local factory configuration.
`java.io.File` | `getRepository()` Returns the directory used to temporarily store files that are larger than the configured size threshold.
`int` | `getSizeThreshold()` Returns the size threshold beyond which files are written directly to disk.
`void` | `setRepository(java.io.File repository)` Sets the directory used to temporarily store files that are larger than the configured size threshold.
`void` | `setSizeThreshold(int sizeThreshold)` Sets the size threshold beyond which files are written directly to disk.

Field Detail

### DEFAULT_SIZE_THRESHOLD

    public static final int DEFAULT_SIZE_THRESHOLD

  The default threshold above which uploads will be stored on disk.

    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### DefaultFileItemFactory

    public DefaultFileItemFactory()

  Constructs an unconfigured instance of this class. The resulting factory may be configured by calling the appropriate setter methods.

### DefaultFileItemFactory

    public DefaultFileItemFactory(int sizeThreshold,
                                  java.io.File repository)

  Constructs a preconfigured instance of this class.

  Parameters:
    `sizeThreshold` - The threshold, in bytes, below which items will be retained in memory and above which they will be stored as a file.
    `repository` - The data repository, which is the directory in which files will be created, should the item size exceed the threshold.

Method Detail

### getRepository

    public java.io.File getRepository()

  Returns the directory used to temporarily store files that are larger than the configured size threshold.

  Returns:
    The directory in which temporary files will be located.
  See Also:
    `setRepository(java.io.File)`

### setRepository

    public void setRepository(java.io.File repository)

  Sets the directory used to temporarily store files that are larger than the configured size threshold.

  Parameters:
    `repository` - The directory in which temporary files will be located.
  See Also:
    `getRepository()`

### getSizeThreshold

    public int getSizeThreshold()

  Returns the size threshold beyond which files are written directly to disk. The default value is 1024 bytes.

  Returns:
    The size threshold, in bytes.
  See Also:
    `setSizeThreshold(int)`

### setSizeThreshold

    public void setSizeThreshold(int sizeThreshold)

  Sets the size threshold beyond which files are written directly to disk.

  Parameters:
    `sizeThreshold` - The size threshold, in bytes.
  See Also:
    `getSizeThreshold()`

### createItem

    public FileItem createItem(java.lang.String fieldName,
                               java.lang.String contentType,
                               boolean isFormField,
                               java.lang.String fileName)

  Create a new `DefaultFileItem` instance from the supplied parameters and the local factory configuration.

  Specified by:
    `createItem` in interface `FileItemFactory`
  Parameters:
    `fieldName` - The name of the form field.
    `contentType` - The content type of the form field.
    `isFormField` - `true` if this is a plain form field; `false` otherwise.
    `fileName` - The name of the uploaded file, if any, as supplied by the browser or other client.
  Returns:
    The newly created file item.
