I don't need the file data in the second action. Can I somehow recreate the request without the multipart file data, and pass it forward to the second action?
I just saw a bug report on this http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25434 where Sharad says: "All the request parameters are accessible in the new forward even for the enc type "multipart/form-data", except for the FormFile value which is a security limitation of HTML." That is exactly what I would need, but it's not working :( -----Original Message----- From: Martin Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 19 January 2004 18:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: "multipart/form-data" causes request lost after forward "Cadariu, Mihai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] m... > Hi guys, > > I have 2 actions that are chained. That's your first mistake. Chaining actions is generally a very bad idea. The scenario you are seeing is just one reason. There are many, many threads on this in the archives. > > In the first action I handle an upload, then I forward to the second action. > Here (in the second action), my request is gone (i.e. it's all empty). Yes, it is indeed gone. The input stream was parsed, and consumed, when the first request was processed, so it is no longer available for use by the second action. This is just the way servlets work - it's not a Struts thing. > > I noticed this happens only when I have "multipart/form-data" encoding type.

The "workaround" is to not chain actions in the first place. You'll only give yourself grief (as you have discovered). -- Martin Cooper > > Many thanks, > Mihai > > > -- > The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
