I believe the documentation is incorrect on the web. The setUpload doesn't take a File object, it takes a String that is the fully qualified path to the temporary file created by the internal upload support of struts. So what you actually need is:
public void setUpload(String upload) { this.upload = new File(upload); } (*Chris*) On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 11:40 AM, Bill Bohnenberger <bill98...@gmail.com>wrote: > Ok, I'm sure I must be doing something dumb here, but I can't seem to find > it.
