FileItem.write raw exception

[Oliver Kohll - Mailing Lists <ol...@gtwm.co.uk>]

Hello,

FileItem.write throws a raw java.lang.Exception:

http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/apidocs/org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItem.html#write(java.io.File)

which I believe is bad practice - clients must catch any RuntimeException and also the API provides no info about which type of non-runtime exceptions may be generated. It certainly feels bad coding against it.

I know fixing this would be an API change, but it would be backwards compatible.

Or is there a good reason for throwing the raw exception?

Regards
Oliver Kohll
