I think the solution might be to update to the later version of Struts. I know it's scary with the nightly build and all, but I have been using a later version of struts without any problems. I have a page where a user is able to fill in up to 25 names of files to upload, not all are required. I don't get this error when a page is submitted.
Try a later version, it might be just a drop in replacement of the 1.1b1 you are using. -AP_ http://www.myprofiles.com/member/profile/apara_personal -----Original Message----- From: Dave Weis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2002 8:00 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Problem with empty file upload field Hello I've got file uploading working fine with Struts 1.1b1. I can upload files with no problem, but I receive an error if I try to submit the form with the file field on it with no file selected. I'm using a normal action form, not a dynamic form. This is the error that I receive: 500 Servlet Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setSimpleProperty(PropertyUtils.j ava:1574) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setNestedProperty(PropertyUtils.j ava:1468) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setProperty(PropertyUtils.java:14 98) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:613) at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.populate(RequestUtils.java:952) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processPopulate(RequestProcessor.j ava:795) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:244) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1109) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:470) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:165) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:103) at com.caucho.server.http.FilterChainServlet.doFilter(FilterChainServlet.java:9 6) at com.caucho.server.http.Invocation.service(Invocation.java:311) at com.caucho.server.http.CacheInvocation.service(CacheInvocation.java:135) at com.caucho.server.http.RunnerRequest.handleRequest(RunnerRequest.java:342) at com.caucho.server.http.RunnerRequest.handleConnection(RunnerRequest.java:272 ) at com.caucho.server.TcpConnection.run(TcpConnection.java:137) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) I found some other people in the archives that had similar problems but I never saw a solution.
