Did you ever get a solution to this? The filename from FormFile.getFileName() is the client file name, right?
My requirement is that the uploads can be up to 100MB, and I can see the file created in a temp folder (rather quickly). Before I can load it into the database, I have to run a virus scanner against it. So creating another copy of the file is an extra step for me as well. -----Original Message----- From: Laurent Duparchy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 4:11 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: FormFile getPath() ? Hi, thanks but the reply but I think it does exactly what I want to avoid (and what I'm currenlty doing) : Create a second temp file by reading the inputsream into a new FileOutputStream. I'm looking into the possibility to get the filepath (when exist) of the FormFile, not the inpustream.
