That's how it works: <form....> ... <input type="file" name="./*" size="80" maxlength="128"/> <input name="./my:tag" type="text" > <input name="./my:tag" type="text" > <input type="hidden" name="./*...@typehint" value="my:file"> <input type="hidden" name="sling:resourceType" value="my/content"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload"> </form> Solution: The tag element's name has to start with an './' as well, otherwise it gets ignored by sling. However, the code will not work correctly as shown. The problem is that the node name for the file will be computed by sling based on the actual file name. Consequently, the tags would be stored in the containing node. To circumvent this, the tag name (path...) has to be set dynamically on the client side, to have it directed to the right place. So I did a small javascript which sets the tag name attribute on submission: <script> //get tag + file elements, grab the name of the file to be uploaded ... tag.name='./' + fileElement.value + '/my:tag'; ... </script> -- Juerg
