Custom tags are run _on_the_server_ not on the client. That
said, if you
render JavaScript it will be run on the client side, but I
don't know if
there's any way to access the client's filesystem. Seems like
that would
be scary. You could probably do it with an ActiveX control, because
apparently you can wreak all sorts of havoc that way.
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.
