Can't use Struts UploadAction properly with velocity
Hi All,
I can easily do an upload, using jsp and the struts uploadAction, but
using velocity I obtain the folowing errors in the firefox and mozilla
browsers:
javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate
and
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
However, I don't have any error using Konqueror or Safari.
Here is my FileUploadForm.java
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile;
import org.apache.struts.upload.MultipartRequestHandler;
public class FileUploadForm extends ActionForm {
protected FormFile file;
protected String type;
public String getType() { return type; }
public void setType(String s){ type =3D s; }
public FormFile getFile() { return file; }
public void setFile(FormFile file) { this.file =3D file; }
}
If I change the FormFile variable into a String variable, then firefox
and mozilla accept the FormBean but with Konqueror and Safari the same
error happen.
Does the struts markup <html:file /> function differently than the
standard <input type=3D"file"> or does anyone have an idea how to use a
struts download Action with velocity which work with all browsers.

I was going to copy you both of the html code when I realize my
mistake, I forgot the method="post" in my velocity form!
Thanks for your help nathan,

no, really, i mean it. same goes for the Struts jsp tags. neither
they nor Velocity nor VelocityTools directly interact with the
browser. they just used to create html markup. that html is then
sent to the browser via the servlet response created by the servlet
container. the browsers do their thing with that and send a request
back. if you are posting a form with a fileupload, then that should
go to a Struts Action for processing. it appears to be during this
last step that you are getting errors. so, again, the only part
Velocity plays is generating the html markup at the start.
if you are getting an error when trying to do this with
VelocityStruts, but you don't get one when using the Struts tags, i
*guarantee* you that that means your Velocity template is generating
different markup than your jsp with Struts tags. IMHO, the first step
to figuring out why one works and the other doesn't is to look at the
HTML that each generate. then we can figure out where and why they
are different.
so, the Velocity template snippet is a start. but since i've never
used fileupload stuff, i have no idea what the problem with it is.
i'd have a better idea if i could compare the html output of that
section of the template against a comparable html markup generated by
Struts tags.

Re: Can't use Struts UploadAction properly with velocity
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
Hi Pierre,
I don't see where Velocity makes the difference here. It's just for
generating the html that the browsers render. Are you using the
VelocityStruts tools? If so, can you show us a snippet of the
relevant template? Also, it might also be good to attach the same
relevant snippets of the html that you get as output from that
template and from a parallel jsp. The difference between the two
might be quite instructive. I'm also curious how the html output
changes when you change the FormFile variable into a String variable.
I've never had cause to use or look into Struts' FileUpload support
before, so i don't know much. But perhaps i can be an extra set of
eyes to spot differences in the html output. Or maybe someone else on
the list will be able to help.
Oh, and this is a question that belongs on the velocity-user@jakarta
or user@struts mailing lists. Unless we identify a bug in the
VelocityStruts tools, this has much more to do with the *using* of
Velocity and Struts than it does with the development of Velocity. :)
