Thanks a lot for all those replied by query. The reason why I want to set saveDir in my Java code is that as a developer, I would like to take everything under my own control but I suppose if the default upload saveDir, without externally setting it in struts.xml, works in all occasions, e.g. Windows, Linux, (I am not an expert here) then the existing arrangement of the saveDir arrangement is satisfactory.

The current, canonical way to handle file uploads is to copy them from the default upload directory to wherever you want them. It's not required to set the saveDir; it defaults to the default temporary directory. The file upload interceptor currently deletes the uploaded file after the action executes, which is why the copy is needed. Sounds like this will all be changing pretty quick-like, though.
