Jesus M commented on WW-5546: ----------------------------- We detect another issue with File Upload{*}{*} *Title:* File parameters in OGNL-mapped VO fail to bind during multipart requests When submitting a multipart form (both via traditional form post and AJAX) to a Struts 2.7.0.3 action, simple type parameters (String, int, boolean) are properly bound to the Value Object (VO) through OGNL, but File type parameters consistently remain null. *Environment:* * Struts 2.7.0.3 * Standard fileUpload interceptor * Content-Type: multipart/form-data * Both form submit and AJAX implementations tested *Steps to Reproduce:* # Define a VO with mixed parameter types: public class UploadVO { private File document; // Fails to bind private File attachment; // Fails to bind private String title; // Binds correctly private int count; // Binds correctly // Standard getters/setters } # Create a multipart form: <form action="uploadAction" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="document"> <input type="file" name="attachment"> <input type="text" name="title"> <input type="number" name="count"> </form> # Submit the form with all fields populated *Expected Behavior:* All parameters including File types should be properly bound to the VO through OGNL *Actual Behavior:* * Simple types (title, count) are correctly bound * File type parameters (document, attachment) remain null * No errors or warnings are logged * HTTP 200 response is received *Evidence of Defect:* # Verified against official documentation for file uploads # Tested multiple implementations (traditional form and AJAX) # Confirmed proper Content-Type header # Verified parameter names match VO property names # Confirmed setters are properly implemented # Tested with both default and explicit interceptor configurations *Additional Notes:* * Issue occurs with both single and multiple file uploads * No difference between different file types/sizes * No stack traces or error messages generated * Workarounds using UploadedFile type also fail * Issue appears specific to OGNL binding of File types in VOs *Suggested Priority:* Major (blocks core file upload functionality) *Attachments:* (Would include sample project demonstrating the issue if available) Why does this happen? > NPE in AbstractFileUploadInterceptor > ------------------------------------ > > Key: WW-5546 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5546 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core, Core Interceptors > Affects Versions: 6.7.4 > Reporter: Barta Tamás > Assignee: Lukasz Lenart > Priority: Major > Fix For: 6.8.0, 7.1.0 > > Time Spent: 1.5h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > I got the following exception: > > {code:java} > java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.io.File.length()" because > "this.file" is null > at > deployment.deployment.ear//org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.multipart.StrutsUploadedFile.length(StrutsUploadedFile.java:52) > at > deployment.deployment.ear//org.apache.struts2.interceptor.AbstractFileUploadInterceptor.acceptFile(AbstractFileUploadInterceptor.java:133) > at > deployment.deployment.ear//org.apache.struts2.interceptor.FileUploadInterceptor.intercept(FileUploadInterceptor.java:232) > at > deployment.deployment.ear//com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor.intercept(AbstractInterceptor.java:36) > at > deployment.deployment.ear//com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.executeConditional(DefaultActionInvocation.java:303) > {code} > I think the bug is in AbstractFileUploadInterceptor: > > > {code:java} > if (file.getContent() == null) { > String errMsg = getTextMessage(action, > STRUTS_MESSAGES_ERROR_UPLOADING_KEY, new String[]{originalFilename}); > > errorMessages.add(errMsg); > LOG.warn(errMsg); > } > if (maximumSize != null && maximumSize < file.length()) { {code} > If file.getContent() is null (which means StrutsUploadedFile.file is null), > then warning is logged but there is no "return false" so execution continues > and file.length() will throw NPE as file is null in StrutsUploadedFile. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
