Lukasz Lenart updated WW-5474:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 6.7.0
7.0.0
> struts.multipart.maxFiles does not work as described/expected
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-5474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5474
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 6.3.0
> Reporter: nikos dimitrakas
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.7.0, 7.0.0
>
>
> According to the documentation the property struts.multipart.maxFiles (which
> defaults to 256) is supposed to set a limit to how many files a multi-part
> form submission may include. But in reality, the specified value sets a limit
> to how many parameter values the form may submit, including strings,
> integers, booleans (from all input fields, checkboxes, hiddens, etc).
> The problem is in the method JakartaMultiPartRequest.parsePrequest (part of
> struts) when in the last line it calls upload.parseRequest which is in
> FileUploadBase (part of commons-fileupload). That methods tries to find the
> FileItems from the provided RequestContext, but considers every parameter
> value to be a FileItem and then throws a new FileCountLimitExceededException
> when the number of parameter values (of any type) reaches the fileCountMax.
> I am not sure if the problem is in struts or in fileupload. Maybe the
> provided RequestContext should somehow only include the file parameters so
> that only they get counted. Or perhaps the documentation should be changed to
> clarify that struts.multipart.maxFiles specifies the maximum number of
> parameter values a multipart form may include.
> I also found the issue
> [FILEUPLOAD-351|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-351] that
> seems to point out the confusing behaviour. But until the issue has been
> resolved in fileupload, struts behaves contrary to its own documentation at
> [https://struts.apache.org/core-developers/file-upload]
