File Upload Help needed

[Tina Desai]

Hello All,

I need some help on file upload.

1. I have an understading that the Jakarta Commons FileUpload needs struts Framework. Is this understanding right?

2. The MultipartRequest classes can be used in a totally JSP driven client side. We do not have servlets etc for controlling logic. All our flow is managed using JSPs only. However, I have always seen the MultipartRequest processing done in a servlet. Will it function properly if the logic is written in a JSP?

3. Is there any other free File Upload related component other than these two? It will be a great help if you suggest any other good and widely used component.

Regards,
Tina

1. No, Struts is not required.

2. It can, but it's a really really REALLY bad idea. What's your beef with servlets?

3. What two? You've only mentioned one. Yes, there are more upload packages available. See the JSP FAQ.

No, that is not right.
Struts ships with fileupload embedded.
That may be the source of the misunderstanding.

I'm assuming that Tina is referring to the Jakarta Fileupload tool and the O'Reilly MultipartRequest libraries.

No problem with servlet.
We are working on some auto generated code.

Good to know that we can use the Jakarta Commons File Upload even when we do not use struts.

I need to download the binary 1.1.zip from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-fileupload.cgi link. Is it right?

Regards,
Tina
