JSF Spec answers this question:

with yes
(see required on EditableValueHolder interface)

the inputFile component should also handle empty files (0 bytes) an no file

[jira] Commented: (TRINIDAD-788) stopp uploading empty files

Posted by "Andrew Robinson (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>.

Andrew Robinson commented on TRINIDAD-788:
------------------------------------------

0 byte files are very valid, especially on a unix based platform. There are many times that a file by its existence implies meaning. Take for example "~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable", if this file is present, xgl mode of the linux X server is disabled for that user. The file should be empty. This is just one small example.

If an application doesn't want to support 0 byte files, it should use a validator or actionListener method to check the length.

This is different from a blank string in EditableValueHolder. In this instance, the user intentionally uploaded a file with 0 bytes.

I strongly recommend reverting this fix.
