I would guess that Mojarra just ignores any file-upload widgets when
building an XmlHttpRequest, ie partial-submit works fine except that any
specified file is ignored. That doesn't seem to unreasonable to me
considering the html limitations and that file-upload is fairly rare;
just *don't* use them with partial submit. Is the extra complication of
a whole iframe-based solution *just* to handle this case really worth it?
Well besides the fact that HTML in its current state is
entirely broken for user interfaces,
one component which is really broken is the file upload. I prefer to
have that stuff done by flash or by applets, but personal opinion and
preferences aside. The problem I see is simply that we are a base
framework, can we simply ignore the broken fileupload or not for ppr?
Although I shy the extra mile of work and I agree mostly, I cannot say I
would ignore it.
Well besides the fileuploads there are other uses for iframes, for
instance it is one technique to do comet stuff (that and long running
xhr requests) but that for now is probably out of the scope of the spec!
