Struts FormFile getFileData - is there a limit on the size of the data returned

[Ben Jessel]

Strut's FormFile.getFileData() returns a byte representing the file
data.
As an array takes an integer index ( ie. data i can be up to 65536
), doesn't this place a limit of 64K worth of primitive data being
returned?

Does this mean that when calling methods using byte[], we are limited
to passing a maximum of 64K?

Thanks

You have the size of integers wrong. In java, an int is always 32 bits, not
16.

Christophe addressed your misconception of the array index limit
but I've got to ask whether you're using the right method in the
first place. I use FormFile.getInputStream and copy the contents
to a local file and I KNOW it doesn't limit you to 64K; I had to
add maxFileSize="100K" to my controller element in struts-config.xml
to prevent uploading of huge images!
