public abstract class AbstractWebConsolePlugin
extends HttpServlet
    Deprecated.
    The Apache Felix Webconsole is not supported in Cloud environments.
    The Web Console can be extended by registering an OSGi service for the interface Servlet with the service property felix.webconsole.label set to the label (last segment in the URL) of the page. The respective service is called a Web Console Plugin or a plugin for short. To help rendering the response the Apache Felix Web Console bundle provides two options. One of the options is to extend the AbstractWebConsolePlugin overwriting the renderContent(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method.

        Deprecated.
        The name of the request attribute containing a File - upload repository path used by DiskFileItemFactory.

        The Web Console plugin, that utilizes file upload capabilities of the web console SHOULD:

        1. Obtain the file using BundleContext.getDataFile(String)
        2. Set the file as request attribute
        3. Use WebConsoleUtil.getParameter(HttpServletRequest, String) to obtain the file(s)
        Without setting this attribute, your plugin will not work if there is a security manager enabled. It is guaranteed, that your plugin has permissions to read/write/delete files to the location, provided by the bundle context.
