Hi Struts Users I'm trying to get the InputStream to read the binary contents of the request within an Action's execute method. E.g.
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream(); // bytesAvailable is always 0 int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available(); int bytesRead; byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; while((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1) { // do stuff } } So bytesAvailable is always 0, and inputStream.read(buf) immediately returns -1. I have heard that calling request.getParamter() before trying to access the input stream can affect accessing the input stream. I believe struts calls request.getParamter (it must do to populate the form bean). My question is, how can I get access to the entire binary contents of the HTTP body? I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25 BTW TIA Rob This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet. The service is powered by MessageLabs.
