hi sathya,

the way you upload a file, is same as downloading the file

<action name="saveaspdf" method="saveAsPdf" class="com.youname.action.Welcome">
            <result name="success" type="stream">
                <param name="contentDisposition">attachment;filename=sathya.pdf</param>
                <param name="contentType">application/pdf</param>
                <param name="inputName">fileInputStream</param>
                <param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
            </result>
</action>

this is an example of downloading a pdf file (name = sathya.pdf)
hope this link would help you
