file upload file location lost on validation failure
Using the demo app (struts2-showcase-2.0.14/fileupload) and entering an
empty file, for example, will correctly cause validation to fail.
However, the file location disappears from the input.
Is this as designed?
Thanks,
Derrick

That's what I was wondering. I couldn't make the connection between the
value attribute and the actual HTML.
Thank you for the explanation.

File input values cannot be preloaded. This is a browser issue and has
nothing to do with Struts.
There's a "value" attribute because the tag is extended from a bean that
has a "value" property; that doesn't necessarily mean it's meaningful
once it gets to the HTML level, and since HTML file input elements are
one of the only elements that don't allow pre-loading it's arguable that
it doesn't make sense to create a bean without the "value" property just
for it, particularly since it's well-known they can't be pre-loaded.

There is a value attribute on the file tag from which you can preset the
value according to docs.
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/file.html
It seems like the value could be "updated" from the user input, if the
input data is available.

I think we're talking past each other--file inputs can't be repopulated,
AFAIK. This is a browser issue. What am I missing here?

Understood. However, if the value used to populate the field is on the
value stack, the input will be populated with the value on validation
failure, except in this case it seems as the data necessary to
repopulate is not available.

Do you mean in the file input field? If so, that's normal browser
behavior.
