public class: FileUploadInterceptor [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor
      org.apache.struts2.interceptor.FileUploadInterceptor
Interceptor that is based off of MultiPartRequestWrapper , which is automatically applied for any request that includes a file. It adds the following parameters, where [File Name] is the name given to the file uploaded by the HTML form:

You can get access to these files by merely providing setters in your action that correspond to any of the three patterns above, such as setDocument(File document), setDocumentContentType(String contentType), etc.
See the example code section.

This interceptor will add several field errors, assuming that the action implements ValidationAware . These error messages are based on several i18n values stored in struts-messages.properties, a default i18n file processed for all i18n requests. You can override the text of these messages by providing text for the following keys:

Interceptor parameters:

Extending the interceptor:

You can extend this interceptor and override the #acceptFile method to provide more control over which files are supported and which are not.

Example code:


<action name="doUpload" class="com.examples.UploadAction">
<interceptor-ref name="fileUpload"/>
<interceptor-ref name="basicStack"/>
<result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
</action>
And then you need to set encoding multipart/form-data in the form where the user selects the file to upload.
<a:form action="doUpload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<a:file name="upload" label="File"/>
<a:submit/>
</a:form>
And then in your action code you'll have access to the File object if you provide setters according to the naming convention documented in the start.
public com.examples.UploadAction implemements Action {
private File file;
private String contentType;
private String filename;

public void setUpload(File file) {
this.file = file;
}

public void setUploadContentType(String contentType) {
this.contentType = contentType;
}

public void setUploadFileName(String filename) {
this.filename = filename;
}

...
}
