I've written several upload JSPs using Struts and they populate the form bean just fine. The trick is that you have to define the file to be uploaded as type org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile and use the <html:file> tag in the
jsp.
There is an example of a file upload in the struts-examples.war file that comes with the download. I'd suggest carefully studying their example to see how it's done.
