Did you ever get a solution to this? The filename from FormFile.getFileName() is the client file name, right?
My requirement is that the uploads can be up to 100MB, and I can see the file created in a temp folder (rather quickly). Before I can load it into the database, I have to run a virus scanner against it. So creating another copy of the file is an extra step for me as well. It appears that CommonsMultipartRequestHandler processes the request and adds FormFile elements for each file that is found to a Hash table, but these elements are of type CommonsFile, and don't give access to the fileItem, which might be able to give me the temporary filename. -----Original Message----- From: Laurent Duparchy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 4:11 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: FormFile getPath() ? Hi, thanks but the reply but I think it does exactly what I want to avoid (and what I'm currenlty doing) : Create a second temp file by reading the inputsream into a new FileOutputStream. I'm looking into the possibility to get the filepath (when exist) of the FormFile, not the inpustream.
