struts.upload, performance and more

[Alf Høgemark]

I've seen that on the mailing-list that Schachter, Michael and Sayles, Scott has had a small discussion about performance when uploading files.   Today I've tested the upload package for the first time. I have a .jsp page with a <form:file> tag. In my ActionForm class I have the two methods FormFile getFile and setFile(FormFile file) And in my Action I just do a file.getFileName() and file.getFileSize().   This works fine for small files (example 2 kb)   I use Apache 1.3.14, Tomcat 3.2b7 and Struts 2000-11-22 My machine is a PIII-600   Here is my performance 100 kb - 5-10 seconds 180 kb - 35-60 seconds 220 kb - 70 seconds 5000 kb - more than 30 minuts, didn't bother to wait more   So my question is anyone else has observed performance problems ? Any suggestions ? Or is this a problem with Tomcat ?   There should be no need for me to bother about MultipartRequestHandler, MultipartIterator and MultipartElement, right ? I should just use the FormFile interface and get/setFile methods in my form ?   What's the init param in web.xml called that governs where the temporary files are put ?   It was very easy to get upload of files to work using the struts.upload. Now I only hope the performance problem will be fixed..   Regards Alf Hogemark
