[AshishMishra16]

HI friends,

I am using the Flex to upload files to server. I m getting all the details about the file, but I m not able to upload it to Server. Here is the code i m using for both flex & for Struts:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
 
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
 
public class ServerFileUpload extends Action {
    @Override
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        try {
            DiskFileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
            ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
            /*
             * both file size & attachments size should not be greater than 10MB.
             */
            upload.setFileSizeMax(10*1024*1024);
            upload.setSizeMax(10*1024*1024);
            List items = upload.parseRequest(request);            
            Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames();
            while(e.hasMoreElements()){
                System.out.println("Parameter Name are "+e.nextElement());
            }
 
            Iterator iter = items.iterator();
            List lstFiles = new ArrayList();
            while (iter.hasNext()) {
                FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
                System.out.println("in while");
 
                if (!item.isFormField()) {
                    String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
                    System.out.println("Field Name is :" + fieldName);
                    String filePath = item.getName();
                    System.out.println(filePath);
                    long size = item.getSize();
                    System.out.println("The size of the File is : "+size);
 
                    if(filePath.equals(""))
                        continue;
 
                    String contentType = item.getContentType();  
                    System.out.println("The File Content Type Are "+contentType);
 
                    ServletContext ctx = getServlet().getServletContext();
 
                    String folder  = ctx.getRealPath("WEB-INF/uploadedfiles/" +fieldName);                    
 
                    System.out.println("real path "+folder);
                    File f=new File(folder);
                    if(!f.exists()){
                        System.out.println("Folder Does Not Exit");
                        f.mkdir();
                    }
                    File file = new File(filePath);
                    boolean status= file.renameTo(new File(folder, file.getName())); 
                    System.out.println("Copy Status is "+status);                       
 
                   // System.out.println(folder + "/" + file);
 
                    File uploadedFile = new File(filePath);
                    item.write(uploadedFile);                    
                    lstFiles.add(filePath);
                }
            }            
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            response.setContentType("text/xml");            
            out.print("<result>success</result>");            
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception in FileUpload"+e.getMessage());
        }
        return null;
    }
}

can somebody tell me what is the problem here.

Thats not the way it works around here. I'm sorry but its not our job to find out whats wrong with your code. Normally, people resent us with their error and a partial bit of code (not the full thing) and we help them our and/or point them in the right direction so that they may solve the problem themselves. Are there any specific problems you have?

Problem is
List items = upload.parseRequest(request);
returning empty list.

When same code is used in JSP it work fine. Problem is when URL is struts action. Then in the action class i am not able to get the contents.
