Struts 2 file upload : File object being null

Question

I am trying to use Struts 2 file upload but it seems to me that its not working. Below is my code.

UploadAction.java:

public class Uploa

Apart from changing the saveDir (really not necessary, and dangerous), your are not following the conventions in the Action class: the name of an private variable must match the names of its Getters and Setters; and finally, in page you are mismatching the name by pointing to the private variable, not the setter. Change it to:

public class UploadAction extends ActionSupport{

    private File   upload;
    private String uploadFileName;
    private String uploadContentType;

    public void setUpload(File upload){
        this.upload=upload;
    }
    public void setUploadContentType(String uploadContentType){
        this.uploadContentType=uploadContentType;
    }
    public void setUploadFileName(String uploadFileName){
        this.uploadFileName=uploadFileName;
    }

    @Override
    public String execute(){
        if(upload==null)
        {
            System.out.println("No file....");
        }
        System.out.println(uploadContentType);
        System.out.println(uploadFileName);
        return SUCCESS;
    }
}
