Both current javadocs for getPart() and getParts() specify that a ServletException is to be thrown:

Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurred during the retrieval [...]
ServletException - if this request is not of type multipart/form-data
IllegalStateException - if the request body is larger than maxRequestSize, or any Part in the request is larger than maxFileSize

The ServletException is thrown when the request is not of type multipart/form-data.
The scenario in the description above is when there is no multipart configuration.
So, one still need to clarify this case.

Rather than an Exception, returning null / an empty collection is also an option.

I prefer IllegalStateException over UnsupportedOperationException but have no string preference between throwing an Exception and returning null / an empty collection.
