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 ?

Thanks, could you add another bit of info: and what about when I am at the development environment ? (eclipse) what does it use? JDK? and if so, what version of the JDK do I need for this ?

Eclipse uses which ever Server profile and Java platform that you tell it to use via your preferences:

  • The server profile is selected via "Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environment"; e.g. you can select versions of Tomcat, Websphere, Glassfish and so on.

  • The java platform is selected via "Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs" and (optionally) "Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environment".

Use ServletContext.getEffectiveMajorVersion to get the version of servlet spec.
