I could tell you how I'm going it (I also have very large files to upload.)
1) Once the upload request comes in, I launch a thread from my action class/servlet to handle the actual upload 2) I then forward to a page which displays a message indicating status. 3) I use java script to submit the status page so I can check on the progress of the upload and prevent browser timeout. I set this submit for every 10 secs. 4) Once I determine that the upload has completed, I forward back to my upload jsp page (or wherever you need to go next.) As for the size of the file ... that depends on whether or not the multipart message contains the filesize. --JoAnn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 2:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: File-Upload: Progress-Bar Hello everybody! I'm up to the task to implement a progress bar for File-Uploads, cause the files that are uploaded to my Webapp can be quite large. Well as usual this problem is not easily solved on the HTTP-Browser upload side. I'm using Struts here so I'm also using the commons/FileUpload. I was planning to do it that way that I assign a unique number to every session's-upload and keep the current status of an upload in a singleton for access. In an additional frame (with refresh) I would like to show the progress bar. My question: Has anybody done something like this with Struts before and can give me some little advise? Or more specific: Is it possible to first get the complete filesize from the FormFiles and the do the real Upload during the Action (keeping track of the read bytes) Thx for every help!! _______________________________________ Tim Adler, Abt.
