Answer 1

You can use build in Struts2 multiple file uploading feature.In your Jsp file you have to define something like

which will send these files to Your action class and you have the option of Collecting the file content as a list

public class MultipleFileUploadUsingListAction extends ActionSupport {

    private List uploads = new ArrayList();
    private List uploadFileNames = new ArrayList();
    private List uploadContentTypes = new ArrayList();
    // There getter and setter methods

}

here

[File Name] : File - the actual File
[File Name]ContentType : String - the content type of the file
[File Name]FileName : String - the actual name of the file uploaded (not the HTML name)

For detail refer to the multiple file upload page of Struts2

Multiple File Upload

Showing user an option to add more file on the JSP page is matter of how to want to display that.All you need to take care when you show him file-upload box name should be same so that Struts2 param interceptor can set them as a list in your Action class
