Thanks Geoff Well, yes, I actually started going thru the mail lists and found your link below. It is helpful, but I cannot get some of the features to work. I DO have the FilePartFile bit working, though I would not like to store such files on the disk.
I gave these two init params: <init-param> <param-name>autosave-uploads</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>overwrite-uploads</param-name> <param-value>allow</param-value> </init-param> I basically want to keep them in memory, and then use a FilePartArray to save the file contents into the database, but I am having trouble with that. Cocoon does not seem to be recognizing these parameters. Incidentally, I am using 2.0.4, and I built it under java1.4. I put the <init-param>s with the other init-params in web.xml, but strangely did not see any places for it in the web.xml file as it existed. I thouight there would be placeholders for it, but I could not find them. Anyways, I might be missing something. My main problem now is that when I submit a file multiple times, it keeps renaming the file 0_[filename], 1_[filename], etc.. I think my workaround will be to just delete the file once I am done with it, but I would like to keep it in memory if at all possible. Thanks very much for your help!
