looking here: http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getPart(java.lang.String)
it says that getPart from HttpServletRequest is supported “Since: Servlet 3.0”.
how do I know if this is the case for me or not ?
is it the version of tomcat that I am running ? and if so what version should I have for this ?
Servlet 3.0 is supported by tomcat 7, see tomcat versions
