And the answer to my own question is....RTFM better! I caused my own problem. The form can populate files if you set the form field to type "FormFile", not "String" as I was using. That stopped my crashing so I expect I'll have just as easy a time getting to the uploaded files name and data. :)
Sorry to bother the list. And shame on me. :( David -----Original Message----- From: David Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Looking for Multiple file upload at once example I'm drawing a blank looking for an example of uploading 2 or more files at once in Struts 1.1. I'm trying to load 3 pics at once: image, bgImage, and logo. I have String setter's in my ActionFrom so I can store the name of the files, and I'm setting my form enctype to "multipart/form-data". I did that, and now, before I can try to find a way to obtain the MulitPartRequestHandler, it crashes with an Exception (see past my ramblings for it). For the 3 file uploads, I was going to the ActionForm's getMultiPartRequestHandler() but I'm not sure what to do with it.. Should I put it in the validate? Should I get the form.getMultiPartRequestHandler() from within the Action and then use getFileElements() to obtain a hash of FileForms? Does anyone have any suggestions? The struts-upload example I have was for one file, I found nothing appropriate on the list archives, and the jakarta site didn't seem to show me what I was hoping for... Also, the I found a doc that said the enctype should be "mutilpart/request-data". I hope that's a typo since a) it didn't seem to upload anything (the update went in an instant) and b) I've never heard of "multipart/request-data" before and can't find it searching via google. That odd reference is in the Struts 1.1 final API's ActionForm page under the description for "getMultiPartRequestHandler()", page: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm.htm l Thanks for any suggestions and below is my evil stack trace from when I switched my enctype to "mutilpart/form-data" and tried sending the form in to Struts 1.1 (Tomcat 4.1.27/JDK 1.4.2) Regards, David javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate at
