file upload problem

[shivva]

Hi

am trying to run the file upload application provided by struts latest version. it seems it uses common - bean utils file upload 1.0 api.

But the problem is jboss-3.0.7_jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 ships with a default common-fileupload-beta jar which is in tomcat/server/lib directory.

During deployment only this beta jar gets loaded and the struts file upload example is refering only this jar.

Is there any way to override the tomcat/server/lib/common-fileupload-beta.jar with my application/web-inf/lib/common-fileupload-1.0.jar ??

thanks

Why not remove the beta jar and drop your more recent jar in its place? IIRC the new version should work in place of the beta.

I do pretty much the same thing with the commons-httpclient in the %JBOSS_HOME/lib dir. To use a more recent version.

Thanks for ur reply eric.

But is it advisible to replace the
commons-fileupload-beta.jar which is in
catalina/server/lib. ??

Wont the tomcat engine will use that ??

I haven't tested it, but Tomcat should use a newer version without problem...

Cheers,
