Hi Bill
Thanks for your response.
I've tried with a servlet too, but even without calling
request.getParameter the stream is still empty:
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalStrings");
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
int length = request.getContentLength(); // 18
String contentType= request.getContentType();
// application/x-www-form-urlencoded
InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();
int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available(); // 0
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int bytesread;
// bytesread is always -1
while((bytesread = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
// do stuff
}
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
doGet(request, response);
}
}
This should work, right?
I'm starting to think something is wrong with my Tomcat!
Regards,
Rob

Subject: Re: calling request.getInputStream() within Action
Robert, I found the following link that discusses this:

It sounds like you are correct -- if request.getParameter() has been
called you cannot get the input stream -- have you considered using a
Servlet instead?
