All,
I am trying to upload a file to the server using the input type file and
setting enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form. I've tried using the
DiskMultipartRequestHandler in my action class, but keep getting a null
pointer exception when I call the handleRequest method. Apparently it
happens when the tempDir is being looked up. To get round this I tried
putting the following in my web.xml under the <servlet> entry for the struts
action servlet:
<init-param>
<param-name>maxFileSize</param-name>
<param-value>250M</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>multipartClass</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.struts.upload.DiskMultipartRequestHandler</param-val
ue>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>tempDir</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/temp/</param-value>
</init-param>
I've also tried the tempDir as /WEB-INF/temp and C:\
But I still get the null pointer exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.struts.upload.DiskMultipartRequestHandler.retrieveTempDir(DiskMul
tipartRequestHandler.java:207)
at
org.apache.struts.upload.DiskMultipartRequestHandler.handleRequest(DiskMulti
partRequestHandler.java:63)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jon.
