When using Struts 1.0.2, it's possible to set the maxFileSize in the web.xml for the action servlet. Although this seems to stop transfer when this amount is reached, it throws a ServletException (I think the actual exception is MaxLengthExceededException) from the MultipartRequestHandler. Ideally what I would like is for it to act as a validation error and therefore somehow needs to be trapped. Does anyone know of any way to do this so I can return back to the upload JSP page with a user friendly error message using ActionErrors rather than a ServletException being returned and displated on the browser.
If this is not possible - I can only think of the following alternatives: 1. Implement a MultipartRequestHandler and/or MultipartIterator myself - does anyone have any advise on which classes need to be implemented? 2. Use a servlet filter to filter out requests using request.getContextLength() [since after the first chunk is set, this is made available), and manually forward back to the jsp page embedding an ActionError in the request. Does anyone have any advise on this? Also, if you are using Struts 1.1, is this process made easier to handle and can you specify max limits per action? Any advise much appreciated, thanks! :) Shaun. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
