MultipartConfig with Servlet 3.0 on Spring MVC - spring-mvc

Question

How do I add in multipart configuration to a spring mvc app which uses controllers with methods annotated with RequestMapping?
Background:
I want to enable csrf protection and so have added the security:csrf tag in my spring config. I have a controller class with a method annotated with RequestMapping used for uploading files. I also followed the caveat instructions around multipart whereby I added the multipart filter above the security filter. When I tried to upload a file after adding the csrf tag I got an exception around a missing getParts() method. A quick google highlighted this was due to using a version of jetty which was based on the servlet 2.5 spec. I upgraded jetty-maven-plugin to 8.1.14.v20131031 and tried uploading again. Resulting in:
org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No multipart config for servlet
at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.<init>(StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.java:68)
at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver.resolveMultipart(StandardServletMultipartResolver.java:58)
at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter.doFilterInternal(MultipartFilter.java:110)
Where do I put the multipart configuration for xml setup? All documentation says to add the multipart-config in the servlet tag for the specific servlet in web.xml. There is only a single servlet for my application though. So I added it to that and still I get the same issue.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SpringDispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<multipart-config>
<location>/tmp</location>
<max-file-size>20848820</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>418018841</max-request-size>
<file-size-threshold>1048576</file-size-threshold>
</multipart-config>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/servlet-context.xml
</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
I also updated the schema location at the top of web.xml to point at version 3.0 of the servlet spec, sourced from http://www.mkyong.com/web-development/the-web-xml-deployment-descriptor-examples/.
Any help?
Edit: added the following riles for Rob:

Answer 1

I believe you are having issues related to SPR-11373. Specifically, the servlet specification is not clear on what should happen when performing multipart resolution within a Filter.
Have you tried using commons-fileupload instead? This is likely your best option. First add the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
Next ensure you have the following bean definition in your root application context.
<bean id="filterMultipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
<property name="maxUploadSize" value="100000000"/>
</bean>
You can find a complete working example with both commons-upload (prefer this solution) and using tomcat using allowCasualMultipartParsing on SEC-2471
