How to handle csv file upload?

Chong Jing Hong

Hi, I am developing a plugin that allows you to bulk create users on a server based on the data in a csv file. I've managed to get a velocity template showing with a form, as such:

<form id="form" action="#">                
<label for="file-input">Choose CSV file:</label>                
<input type="file" id="file-input" name="file-input" accept=".csv">                
<button type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>            
</form>

However, I'm stuck on the action java class. How do I handle the csv file upon submitting the form (extract the data from the csv file)?

You form needs to be 

enctype="multipart/form-data"

And your action should implement "ServletRequestAware" 

And you should receive a "MultiPartRequestWrapper" really into your action class (injected by xwork framework)

Then it is a matter of simple calls to "MultiPartRequestWrapper" instance to get uploaded file(s). I am pretty sure you can figure out the rest
