Since I am running Mozilla 0.99, this may be the cause of the problem; however, we have little control over what browsers our customers choose to run. If Mozilla does not send back a file name, then that piece of information can be missing from my error message to the client. However, the error itself needs to be handled more gracefully. It would be daunting to the normal user to be presented with an invalid argument exception on "bean populate" and a stack trace. I have tried to understand where the error occurs. It seems to me that when Mozilla cannot process the filename that the user has entered, the file name is sent back as part of the request parameter stream and the commons "populate" routine is handling it like a string. It fails because it cannot find a write method for the parameter which accepts a String. I have tried providing a setter which accepts an Object; however, then the file transfer does not occur when a proper file name is supplied. I have also tried two different setters -- one with a String and one with the FormFile. This also does not work.
So, in short, are there any suggestions for a workaround or plans to handle the error situation more gracefully in Struts or the "commons-beanutils" routines? Of course, if Mozilla 0.99 is the only browser that has this problem and Netscape 4.6+ or IE work correctly along with later versions of Mozilla, then a workaround may not be as necessary.
