Hello Martin. So is it POSSIBLE to save binary data in a bean? What does
struts do? These are my real questions. If I have a form which besides
fields, has an uploaded file, how does the bean actually handle the file?
Is there a conceptual step by step you can give me. How does the ActionForm
save (and validate) the binary data sent via input type "file".
