File Upload problem
I am using struts and have an upload.jsp and its associated UploadForm.java
and UploadAction.java. The jsp's form has an enctype=multipart/form-data and
contains an html:file field to upload a file as well as a bunch of text
fields for metadata associated with the file. If an error occurs during
validation, the struts controller servlet forwards to the jsp with error
messages. The problem is that the filepath the user specified is no longer
present. Is there a way to restore this value so the user doesn't have to
complete this field again (the other text fields remain filled in). Thanks
in advance

The issue is that inputs of type file are read-only to unsigned
javascript programs and of course the value attribute does not apply.
Otherwise, a page could try to hide a file input on a form with a
preset value of /etc/shadow or some other sensitive file, and have a
user unknowingly upload this file.
