Description

File upload of a single file with Struts seems to work OK. But it fails for multiple files. Note: I
mean 1 <INPUT TYPE="FILE"> tag where the user selects multiple files (Opera and IE allow this),
not multiple <INPUT TYPE="FILE"> tags!

The MultipartRequestHandler doesn't seem to
support this, since it getFileElements() returns FormFiles in a hashtable, and cannot
therefore handle more than 1 FormFile for each input name.

The only way around this is to put
multiple INPUT tags on the page, which is a problem when I want to allow the user to upload a lot of
(small) files.

TIA
