Re: FormFile/DiskFile and form validation/redisplay during file uploa d

[Joe Germuska <Jo...@Germuska.com>]

I don't know of any browser which actually does anything with the 
"value" field of an input type "file".  The fact that the html:file 
tag puts a value in is just a side effect of FileTag extending 
BaseFieldTag.

Sorry.  This isn't a Struts thing, it's a browser thing.  Try making 
a static HTML form and setting some value in that field which makes 
your browser pre-fill the field.  I just tried it on Mozilla 1.0/Mac 
OS X, just to make sure I wasn't speaking too quickly, but the value 
was completely ignored.
