Jon, I don't think you need to use DiskMultipartRequestHandler directly from your action class. Have you looked at the example that comes with Struts? Look for a file called 'struts-upload.war'. If this doesn't help let me know. I have been able to upload files to the server using Struts. Hope this helps. - Ajay -- Original Message -- >All, > >I am trying to upload a file to the server using the input type file and >setting enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form.
