Hello, Martin,
What I am saying is very simple, and I am not sure what is the difficulty.
As I've said, you are absolutely free to handle file uploads however you want.The whole point is that this is not the case. The whole point is that the present arrangement ties people to a specific way of dealing with file uploads that is not essential to Struts and what is presently done could be provided without difficulty without creating these dependencies. That seems to me to be a really clear positive. Why you are adverse to decoupling the present file upload application is simply a mystery to me.
If I want to use the framework and ActionForm (which I do) and do not want to use the file upload application that is tied to Struts, I have to rewrite Struts or to write a pretty ugly work-around. My point was that the file upload application seemingly could be decoupled from the framework giving options without impacting the present implementation for those that want it.. You seemingly would prefer to have it coupled. Why I cannot discern. I don't see the advantage in that. In order to respond to your note about "bloat", I suggested once again, that implementing extensions might be worthwhile.
Niall Pemberton seemingly is clear that the present application itself is going to change and warns about that on the wiki. If there were an interface that allowed alternative implementations without changing the interface itself, that would be far preferrable, I would think. I am sure of it, in fact. I am surprised you are not sure of it. I really don't understand your position at all. You seem to want to unnecessarily couple the present file upload application to the framework. Why?
