I've used a Java applet to upload multiple files. Of course, that brings in all of the difficulties of using applets, since you're writing code for an environment you don't control. I sent them individually, not zipped, and retrieved them directly from the request, bypassing the Struts form. - George Dinwiddie http://www.idiacomputing.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
