Hi,
I've read various threads on this mailing list about uploading files, and uploading MULTIPLE files. There seems to be some shortcomings. Especially as I want to offer a theoretically infinite number of file uploads in one form. 0 to 5 files is realistic. But I don't want to limit it.
My understanding is that I will have to limit this because for each file I'll need a getter and setter in my ActionForm. ie: setFile1() setFile2() setFile3().
So... the compile of my ActionForm creates a limit on the number of files able to be uploaded.
Is there no other way to do this?
You could certainly define a formbean with a property of type "FormFile[]" It's just another "indexed property".
I do think that there are good arguments for having your users upload ZIPs instead, but it all depends on the use case.
Note that there's a controller property called "memFileSize", which is the maximum size of an uploaded file which Struts will try to keep in memory before writing to disk. In practice, this involves creating a byte array of that size for each uploaded file, so if you have a large "memFileSize" and many uploads, you run some risk of running out of application memory. You just have to be aware of this when setting the value. I can't recall the default value, but it should be in the docs.
