hello,
i have a problem with a multipart form and request parameters.
one of my forms uses a file upload to attach an optional image. after processing the image i forward to a second action in my action-mapping. in the first action all of my request parameters are readily available. however in the second action, all my request parameters seem to have disappeared and are no longer available. if i get rid of the enctype="multipart/form-data" option in my <html:form ..> declaration, the parameters appear without any problem at all (in the second form).
When you forward to a second action, you re-invoke the entire request processing chain, which means that you get a new form object created, etc. This is why you'll frequently see recommendations against "action chaining." Of course, if you get rid of the form encoding, you won't be able to do file upload at all, so that's not
Are you sure that forwarding to a second action is the only way to process the data? Perhaps you can rearrange things to avoid re-invoking the request processor.
