MultipartIterator in Struts

[Andy Deighton]

Hi,
I am trying to use the MultipartIterator for the first time. However, I'm getting nowhere in getting my Action class to even be invoked. Does anyone know of any comprehensive examples of MultipartIterator and how to handle file uploads using the <html:file/> tag?

If your action isn't being invoked at all, I would say you have some mapping issues, or you're not including the correct <html:form> action property in the jsp to match the struts config.
Have you tried grabbing the MultipartRequestHandler from the form bean?
In the jsp you would have:

<html:form action="myimageuploader" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<html:file property="image"  accept="image/gif,image/jpeg"/>
...etc...

Then in the Action class:

MultipartRequestHandler handler = form.getMultipartRequestHandler();
Hashtable files = handler.getFileElements();
Iterator it = files.keySet().iterator();
FormFile file = (FormFile)files.get(it.next());
...etc...

Josh,
Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a go. Gotta admit that I'm not doing what you suggest, which is where I'm probably going wrong!

Andy
