Question

In my struts.xml I have:

<action name="file_save" method="fileSave" class="FileActionBean">
                <interceptor-ref name="fileUpload">
                    <param name="maximumSize">
                        5242880
                    </param>
                    <param name="allowedTypes">
                        text/html
                    </param>
                </interceptor-ref>
                <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"></interceptor-ref>
                <result name="success" type="redirect">file</result>
                <result name="error">error</result>
</action>

When I upload a file that’s bigger than 5MB then no error is thrown. Then at the top of my struts.xml I have:

<constant name="struts.multipart.maxSize" value="20971520" />

Now when I upload a file that’s bigger than 20MB then an error message is shown. Is this normal behaviour?

If so, how can I configure struts to show error messages for interceptors too?

EDIT 1:

I’m using struts 2 version 2.1.8.1

I had a similar problem in this post:

How do you override Struts 2 Messages?

I found that by following this example I resolved both this issue and the one above.
