This *IS* a WebSphere issue. Thanks to those who helped me with this. For anyone following me with this problem:
WebSphere fixpack 3 or 4 for WebSphere 4.0 will fix the problem. You can read about it here: http://www.servlets.com/soapbox/bugs.html The fixpack is here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&context=SSEQTP&q=websphere&uid=swg24001635* -----Original Message----- From: Susan Bradeen Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 11:16 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: file upload + WebSphere 4.0 - IOException while reading file element David, This *may* be a WebSphere issue. We were working on a non-Struts web app over this past Summer in which we had problems uploading large files (anything over 15K, I think). I believe we resorted to using a program one of our iSeries developers created as our work-around for uploading larger files. Susan Bradeen "Purcell, Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/14/2002 10:36 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: file upload + WebSphere 4.0 - IOException while reading file element I apologize if this is answered elsewhere in the list. I couldn't find a similar entry. I am using WebSphere 4.0 with Struts 1.0.2. I am trying to upload files (multiple files per request) and am having problems. Very small files seem to work fine (<10k). However, large files (>50k) fail - before it reaches any code in my Action class. The following are the messages that are thrown in the servlet log. [Servlet LOG]: action: Populating bean properties from this request Servlet Error: IOException while reading file element: Premature end of stream while reading multipart request: java.io.IOException: Premature end of stream while reading multipart request Is there a known defect that is causing this problem, or a setting that I have missed? If file upload isn't working in this configuration, is there a known work-around where I could implement my own DiskMultipartRequestHandler and simply avoid the File elements, and use another approach to handle the uploaded files (such as Marsh?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. David Purcell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
