How does the fileupload interceptor work in struts2?


Asked by Alianna Wolfe on Dec 12, 2021 Struts2



The fileUpload interceptor automatically works for all the requests that includes files. We can use this interceptor to control the working of file upload in struts2 such as defining allowed types, maximum file size etc. There are 2 parameters defined for fileupload interceptor. specifies maximum size of the file to be uploaded.
Likewise,
Struts 2 - File Uploads. The Struts 2 framework provides built-in support for processing file upload using "Form-based File Upload in HTML". When a file is uploaded, it will typically be stored in a temporary directory and they should be processed or moved by your Action class to a permanent directory to ensure the data is not lost.
Furthermore, Struts 2 Interceptors Tutorial. Interceptor is an object that is invoked at the preprocessing and postprocessing of a request. In Struts 2, interceptor is used to perform operations such as validation, exception handling, internationalization, displaying intermediate result etc.
Thereof,
The interceptor used for file upload is “fileUpload”. So the element is given as: Also, as discussed before, we can apply restrictions for size of file to be uploaded or even the file types.
Indeed,
Deployment descriptor is self explanatory, just adding Struts 2 filter to intercept the client requests. Maven configuration file is also easy to understand and includes only struts-core dependency. The important points to note in UploadFile.jsp are enctype (multipart/form-data), file element name (file) and action (UploadFile).
