Daniel, I remembered reading about a Java class which could do that using a file's "magic numbers." I think this library was the one I am thinking about. Using it, you could determine the file information in your Form bean, I think. It was called "ffident Java metadata extraction / file format identification library."
URL: http://schmidt.devlib.org/ffident/index.html === Example: === File file = new File("filename"); FormatDescription desc = FormatIdentification.identify(file); if (desc == null) { System.out.println("Unknown format."); } else { System.out.prinlnt("Format=" + desc.getShortName() + ", MIME type=" + desc.getMimeType()); } === === Warning: If LGPL licenses bother you, don't use it.

This would be so a user can't upload certain extensions like .exe and the application will catch it. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
