Jetty, "No multipart config for servlet" problem

Question

I'm writing handler for file transfer. The request is multipart HTTP message. The message is correct - tested on other servers.

The problem is "java.lang.IllegalStateException: No multipart config for servlet" on getParts() call.

The test code:

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
@MultipartConfig
@WebServlet(urlPatterns={"/upload"}, name="upload")
public class FilesServlet extends HttpServlet
{
    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        resp.setContentType("text/plain");
        PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();

        int i=0;
        for(Part part: req.getParts())
        {
            out.printf("Got part: name=%s, size=%d%n",part.getName(), part.getSize());
            part.write(String.format("part-%02d.dat",i++));
        }
    }
}

The exception:

The jars are: jetty-server-9.4.8 and javax-servlet-api-3.10.

What is wrong here?

Actually, I didn't found why @MultipartConfig annotation doesn't work for me, but I found on i-net kind of workaround that works fine:

     private static final MultipartConfigElement MULTI_PART_CONFIG = new MultipartConfigElement("c:/temp");
        ...
     protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String contentType = request.getContentType();

        if(contentType != null && contentType.startsWith("multipart/")){
           request.setAttribute(Request.__MULTIPART_CONFIG_ELEMENT, MULTI_PART_CONFIG);
           for(Part part: request.getParts()) { ... } ;
        } else {  
            ...
        }          
      }

I think that this solution may be useful for developers who faced such problem

why not configure that when you map your servlet to the path?

handler.addServlet(UploadServlet.class, "/upload/*")
  .getRegistration().setMultipartConfig(
    new MultipartConfigElement("./tmp")
  );

each request came to this servlet will be enriched with that property
