Hmmm. Sounds rather like a browser issue to me. You might want to see what is actually being passed in that request - if its actually a valid multipart request or not!
I had a try in IE, but IE's file selector is too smart to allow selection of a folder as the upload file. Which browser are you using? -----Original Message----- From: Joe Germuska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 17 February 2004 00:13 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: FileUploading Error At 9:35 AM -0500 2/16/04, Mark Shifman wrote: >In trying to bulletproof file uploading I noticed something odd. > >If I type some junk in the field for the file name and hit Submit, I get >a file of size 0.

In Javascript, the "value" of the form field is the path to the file; you might be able to apply a mask validation testing for a reasonable filename -- this is far from perfect, but may help. I use this as a cheap way to get around the lack of support for the "accepts" attribute -- I test to see if the file has a "right extension" using the mask validator. Just one thought...
