Hi Jeremy, Did you have the original problem with multi-part forms on Tomcat 3 ?
I wasn't sure if the problem occured on Tomcat 3.x as it looks like all the people reporting the problem are using a Servlet 2.3 implementation (3.x is Servlet 2.2). I'm not sure why this is the case, but I do know when we moved from 3.3 of Tomcat to 4.0 we had to replace a lot of calls to deprecated methods specifically to do with URL handling on the Servlet Request objects, so maybe it has something to do with this being restructured...(only a guess) re. your tag - ensure you don't have an end tag '/>' on your form tag as this ends the form without the form actually starting - ie. <html:form action="xxxx" enctype="multipart/form-data"/> will blow up - you need <html:form action="xxxx" enctype="multipart/form-data"> ....input fields, including <html:file .../> </html:form> On non-multipart forms having the /> on the form tag usually gives you a wierd error message about field name 'xxx' cannot be found in org.apache.struts.action.BEAN or something equivalent - I'm not sure how this manifests itself in a multi-part form.
