Answer 1

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getParts() is only available starting with Servlet API 3.0

Things to check:

• Be sure you are running Jetty 9 (or newer)
• Make sure you have your WEB-INF/web.xml configured to use Servlet API 3.0 (or newer)
• Make sure your build tool is using the servlet-api 3.1 (or newer) jars.
• (Optionally) Make sure you have the same servlet api 3.1 jar in your WEB-INF/lib directory.
