You could have the user enter the meta data first, and then after it's validated let the user choose the file to upload. ----- Original Message ----- From: Poynter, Stephen To: Struts Users Mailing List (E-mail) Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 12:03 PM Subject: Struts file upload validation problem
I have just written a document upload tool for a customer using the struts upload functionality. My upload jsp consists of one form that is of course a multipart/form-data form. The form consists of the file field along with other text fields where the user enters various information( owner, title, etc.) about the file to be uploaded. The problem I'm having is that once you submit the form struts immediately starts uploading the file before any of the other data in the form is validated. So, in my case, the user tries to upload a large file but enters invalid information for the other text fields. Struts then uploads the file before validating the form data. So when the user corrects their mistake they have to re-upload the file yet again. Is it possible to have the form data validated before the file is uploaded? I would rather not use javascript for error checking. Any help is appreciated. Thanks...
