Hi Eric... I hope you don't mind but I copied this to the Struts @user
list so that others have the opportunity to help... I'm afraid I'm about
to go out of town in a few hours and so don't really have the time to
figure this out... I haven't used or even thought about DownloadAction
for some time, so the problem isn't immediately apparent to me, but
maybe it will be to someone else out there. If not, I'll ping you back
in a few days and if you still need help, I'll work through it with you.

Hi Frank,
Please bare with me as I am new to Java, Struts, etc. my primary background is
.NET, however I have just joined a new Java/Web develepment project team.
Anyhow, I too am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to implement the DownloadAction Class when attempting to return a ResourceStreamInfo class.
This exception is the root cause of a higher level
javax.servlet.ServletException which is actually being thrown when I execute
the getStreamInfo method of my DownloadAction class implementation.
The code from my implementation is as follows:
==============================================================================
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.actions.DownloadAction;
public class DownloadStreamAction extends DownloadAction{
protected StreamInfo getStreamInfo(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
String contentType = "image/jpeg";
String path = mapping.getParameter();
String FileNameOnly = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
//ServletContext application = servlet.getServletContext();
ServletContext application = request.getSession().getServletContext();
System.out.println("Content Type: " + contentType);
//System.out.println("Path: " + path);
System.out.println("File Name Only: " + FileNameOnly);
if (application == null){
System.out.println("Servlet Context: null");
}
else{
System.out.println("Servlet Context: not null");
}
//response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=" + FileNameOnly);
//ResourceStreamInfo MyResStream = new ResourceStreamInfo("image/jpeg", application, "test.jpg");
// if (MyResStream == null){
// System.out.println("My Resource Stream : null");
// }
// else{
// System.out.println("My Resource Stream: not null");
// }
//return MyResStream;
return new ResourceStreamInfo(contentType, application, "/test.jpg");
}
}
==============================================================================
As you can see from the commented out code i have tried all sorts to get this
working but with no joy.
The full stacktrace of the exception is as follows:
