Upload multiple files with maintaining Index ( position at which file was uploaded) in Struts2


I have scenario that, I want to upload multiple files, In which User may or may not upload files, And I want to maintain Index at which position user has uploaded file and want to save file with that index as Name

I referred https://stackoverflow.com/a/17050230/3425489 , In my case I don't want to create new class, so not referred Accepted solution

till now In my Action Class I have

File upload [];
String uploadContentType []
String uploadFileName []

getters and setters

In my jsp I tried

<input type="file" name="upload">

but I'm able to get uploaded files only, not able to maintain index

also tried

<input type="file" name="upload[0]">
<input type="file" name="upload[1]">
<input type="file" name="upload[2]">

with this case, I'm not able to setProperties in my Action class

----Updated----

You can refer my Model Struts 2 : Unable to access Model properties in JSP

For your every ProcessSolutionStep, I want to maintain, which file is uploaded for particular step,

i.e. User may upload file for step 1 and step 5, skipping middle steps, and in view.

I want to display file uploaded for particular step


Solution

  • This is How I solved my Problem:

        <tr>
        <td> Step 1 :
        <td>
            <input type="hidden" name="isFileUpload" id="id-is-file-upload-0" value="0">
            <textarea id="id-solution-0" name="processSolutionSteps" rows="2" cols="50" maxlength="200" class="class-text-area class-text-area-not-blank"></textarea>
            <!-- <input type="text" id="id-solution-0" name="processSolution" maxlength="30" size="35"> -->
            <p id="id-process-solution-counter-0"></p>
        </td>
        <td>
            <input type="file" id="id-file-0" name="uploads">
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td> Step 2 :
        <td>
            <input type="hidden" name="isFileUpload" id="id-is-file-upload-1" value="0">
            <textarea id="id-solution-1" name="processSolutionSteps" rows="2" cols="50" maxlength="200" class="class-text-area class-text-area-not-blank"></textarea>
            <!-- <input type="text" id="id-solution-1" name="processSolution" size="35"> -->
            <p id="id-process-solution-counter-1"></p>
        </td>
        <td>
            <input type="file" id="id-file-1" name="uploads">
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td> Step 3 :
        <td>
            <input type="hidden" name="isFileUpload" id="id-is-file-upload-2" value="0">
            <textarea id="id-solution-2" name="processSolutionSteps" rows="2" cols="50" maxlength="200" class="class-text-area class-text-area-not-blank"></textarea>
            <!-- <input type="text" id="id-solution-2" name="processSolution" size="35"> -->
            <p id="id-process-solution-counter-2"></p>
        </td>
        <td>
            <input type="file" id="id-file-2" name="uploads">
        </td>
    </tr>
    

    I just post few sample code of my <tr> tag

    I have maintained one hidden field isFileUpload with inital value 0 , as many no. of my <input type="file">, After uploading file, on its change event I changed value of isFileUpload to 1 as

    $('#id-solution-table').on('change', 'input[type=file]', function () {
        $('#id-is-file-upload-'+$(this).prop("id").split("-")[2]).val(1);
    });
    

    And In my Action Class I have this code

    Depending upon values of isFileUpload i.e. I have checked it with 1,

    Means I have uploded file at this index position and Mapped with uploaded file array which is uploads

    private File [] uploads;
    private String [] uploadsFileName;
    private String [] uploadsContentType;
    private short isFileUpload [];
    
    try {
        int fileIndex = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < this.isFileUpload.length; i++) {
            if( this.isFileUpload[i] == 1 ) {
                System.out.println(" index    "+i+ " isFileUpload "+this.isFileUpload[i]);
                System.out.println("Index       "+i+ "     "+this.uploadsFileName[ fileIndex ]);
                String filePath = path;
                new File(filePath).mkdirs();
                FileUtils.copyFile(this.uploads[ fileIndex ], new File(filePath+"/"+i+"."+FilenameUtils.getExtension(this.uploadsFileName[ fileIndex ])));
                ++fileIndex;
            }
        }
    } catch(Exception exception) {
        addActionError("Some files not uploaded.");
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
