Struts 2 File Upload Interceptor configuration problems - file-upload

Question

I'm having two problems when trying to configure the Struts 2 File Upload Interceptor in my application. I want to change the parameter maximumSize (the default value is 2 MB, I need it to be 5 MB) and the message resource struts.messages.error.file.too.large (the app locale is pt_BR, so the message is in portuguese, not english).
The app current configuration follows:
struts.properties
struts.locale=pt_BR
struts.custom.i18n.resources=MessageResources
struts.xml
<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
<interceptors>
<interceptor name="login" class="br.com.probank.interceptor.LoginInterceptor"/>
<interceptor-stack name="defaultLoginStack">
<interceptor-ref name="login" />
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
</interceptor-stack>
</interceptors>
<default-interceptor-ref name="defaultLoginStack" />
...
</package>
...
<package name="proposta" namespace="/proposta" extends="default">
<action name="salvarAnexoProposta" method="salvarAnexoProposta" class="br.com.probank.action.AnexoPropostaAction">
<interceptor-ref name="defaultLoginStack">
<param name="fileUpload.maximumSize">5242880</param>
</interceptor-ref>
<result name="success">/jsp/listagemAnexosPropostaForm.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/jsp/crudAnexoPropostaForm.jsp</result>
<result name="error">/jsp/error.jsp</result>
<result name="redirect" type="redirect">${redirectLink}</result>
</action>
</package>
MessageResources.properties
...
struts.messages.error.file.too.large=O tamanho do arquivo...
There is nothing special about my Action implementation and my JSP code. They follow the example found http://struts.apache.org/2.1.6/docs/file-upload-interceptor.html. When I try to upload a file with more than 5 MB the app shows the message "the request was rejected because its size (6229458) exceeds the configured maximum (2097152)" - the default File Upload message with the default maximumSize value.
I try to put the message resource struts.messages.error.file.too.large in a struts-messages.properties but the message didn't change after that. What is the proper way to configure the File Upload Interceptor? I'm using Struts 2 2.1.7. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Finally solved the entire puzzle! struts.xml and MessageResource.properties were correctly configured. The problem was struts.multipart.maxSize value. This value have to be bigger than the desired upload limit (5242880 in my app), so I set it as 10000000. If struts.multipart.maxSize value is equal or less then fileUpload.maximumSize the library used by Struts 2 to do the upload stops the upload process (and writes the error message) before the file upload interceptor has a chance to do its job.

Answer 2

The solution provided by you isn't entirely correct in the sense that If I want strict upload limits along with i18n, this won't work. I've also created an issue with strut2 for this. Please look at the following link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3177. It's due to be fixed in struts2.1.9 and is already assigned to a struts team member.
In between, I'm using a hack. I browsed the struts2 source code and found the code for FileUploadInterceptor. Using that code, I created my own. Here's the code below. You can find details of problem at the link above. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Try this in your struts.xml, where xxxxxxxx is the limit:
<constant name="struts.multipart.maxSize" value="xxxxxxxxx" />

Answer 4

First use validate method in your action file........
public void validate(){
if(getFileUpload() !=null){
System.out.println("======File size validation before upload: size in bytes: "+getFileUpload().length());
if(getFileUpload().length()>202400){
//Give the size in bytes whatever you want to take
addActionError("File is too large ! Select less than 200Kb file");
}else{
addActionMessage("File Uploaded successfully!");
}
}
}
