No, no need for that. It took me half an hour to figure that problem out myself and it's an indication of how generally badly designed is cocoon's handling of multipart-encoded POST requests. Well, if you ask me, the real problem is that the servlet API never addressed the problem of multipart-encoded POST requests, but this is another story. Yet, this gives us interesting possibilities to research further. After 2.1 is out, I'm planning to rewrite the entire support for file uploading and move it from a layer between the Servlet API and cocoon (as it is today) to inside the sitemap realm. This will allow us to specify upload-specific parameters with much better granularity (say, turning it on only on some specific pipelines and with some specific security strategy). Unfortunately this might require some sitemap semantics additions but since I have other two things to ask for addition to the sitemap semantics, I hope they will be considered for their value. But for now, this is how things go and if you turn uploading off all POST requests which are multipart-encoded end up with "null" value in the requests parameters and this was the reason why the different "actions" in the flow where not properly selected. -- Stefano.
