Behavior of inputFileUpload when uploadMaxFileSize exceeded

I found that when a user attempts to upload a file that is larger than the 
uploadMaxFileSize setting for the ExtensionFilter, I receive the following 
exception. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to display an error 
message to the user? Currently, it just blanks out all the form fields 
(normally these would be remembered) and redisplays the page without an 
error message (even though I have a h:message bound to the inputFileUpload 
in question).

Another thing that I noticed is that in the case where the file upload 
succeeds, if you navigate back to the page with the upload control, the text 
box is left blank. I'm guessing this is a browser issue because the value 
attribute is set correctly. i.e. it has the file name in it. This behavior 
is exhibited for both IE and Firebird.

Re: Behavior of inputFileUpload when uploadMaxFileSize exceeded

I found out that I was wrong here. The problem that I was running into was 
that I had a table with text boxes in it and the table values were being 
forgotten (or more correctly, reverted to their old values (i..e it 
reverting it to the converted values rather than the submitted values)) when 
there was a validation error in a text box that came before the table. At 
the time, I was using the JSF RI. As far as I could tell, everything was 
coded properly, so, I decided to try it with MyFaces and sure enough, it 
worked fine with MyFaces (I'm glad I've figured out how to get MyFaces up 
and running now, it's great for debugging). So, I think it might be a bug in 
the JSF RI. I'm going to try to make a simplified test case and possibly 
submit it as a bug, but, I also want to try it with a JSF RI nightly build.

One other thing that I noticed is that it appears that if you have fields 
after a file upload field and the file upload field has required="true", it 
seems to not store the values of the later fields in the bean if no value is 
specified for the file upload field. So, it forgets those values. I need to 
test it further though, to make sure it's not something that I'm doing. Has 
anyone else seen this problem?
