In the end I simply passed an ArrayList back to the view as a request attribute, problem solved. I would have preferred not passing a "naked" object like that, would have preferred an ActionForm, but for what I was doing an ArrayList is more than sufficient.

I do this all the time without using the ActionForm at all, unfortunately. I don't know if the solutions I use would be helpful, but here is one: I call an action setting up a page for uploads. Then I upload, setting up a listener/monitor in the the Upload object which is buried in the commons multipart handling. Then, on the page where I did the uploads and to which I return, I provide an automatic popup that accesses the monitor with a call back via a regular refresh with a no-cache, etc. and with JavaScript closing the monitor page when done. I also have a button on the same page that will provide a report after the fact of whatever happened and keeps whatever histories are desired, short and long term.
Everything would be easier if I just overrided the RequestUtils, which is the only place where the excitement happens in Struts upload. I have with limited success tried to discuss making these sorts of options available without having to work around the Struts framework without a lot of success, but lately seemingly some success with Niall and Martin.
There really is nothing to modifying the upload application to allow other optiosn besides the default upload application. I have just wanted to stay with the regular Struts framework so far as is possible. No real luck so far. Lots of grief! LOL ///;-)
Here is the JavaScript function:
<script Language="JavaScript"> <!-- function popup(url, name, width, height) { settings= "toolbar=no," + "location=yes," + "directories=no," + "status=no," + "menubar=no," + "scrollbars=yes,"+ "resizable=yes," + "width="+ width + "," + "height=" + height;
Information=window.open(url,name,settings); } //--> </script>
If this interests you, I would be happy to show you more code. Heck, here is some more if you are somewhat interested.

It is of course possible to turn of form validation on a per-mapping basis... Is it possible to turn off auto-population?
It's never come up for me before a few minutes ago... I'm doing a file upload project, and when I upload the files I'd like an ActionForm to be created but NOT populated with anything... I want to use it simply to return some status information back to the view. I can think of about 5 other ways to accomplish this, but simply turning off auto-population would be the easiest.
I don't see a way to do it... am I missing something? Thanks!
