Re: [jetty-users] Jetty 12: org.eclipse.jetty.http.MultiPart.Part does not extend Servlet 6 jakarta.servlet.http.Part
If Jakarta Servlet 6 (and presumably future versions) and Jetty are Eclipse Foundation technologies and some of the same members work on the Servlet Spec and on Jetty, why is Jetty doing something different from the spec?  If there's a need for change, shouldn't the spec be changed to meet that need too?

Thank you for your help here, and on my other question, and for your work on Jetty over the years!

If you want to stick using the Servlet APIs, then continue using
HttpServletRequest.getParts().

Jetty 12 allows you to write web application without using the Servlet
APIs, by using directly the Jetty Core APIs.
Use MultiPartFormData if you want to write web applications using the
Jetty Core APIs.

The benefits of the Servlet APIs: they are a standard and well known.
But they are old and for multipart they are blocking, so the
scalability will be limited.

The benefit of the Jetty Core APIs: they are new, fully non-blocking
and provide more performance (see
https://webtide.com/jetty-12-performance-figures/).
But you need to learn how to deploy a Jetty Core web application (see
https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/issues/11861).

So your pick, really.

If you want more flexible, modern stuff, you may want to switch to
Jetty Core APIs.
If the Jetty Core APIs have a missing feature, you can ask for it, and
it will likely take less time to be implemented.

If you like the coziness of Servlets, stick with them.
