Not really a bug, but the maxlength attribute here is for the
maximum length of the filename text field - not the uploaded
file size, so 100k is perhaps overkill :). If you do want to
limit file upload sizes, this can be set in your
rep/config-base.xml file with the following (more parameters
are available, please see the link to the LiveGuide further down),
<param name="FILEUPLOAD_SIZE_LIMIT"> (value in bytes) </param>
Also note that according to various references on the web,
current browsers ignore the "accept" attribute (it's only
intended to filter the file selection dialog on the client anyway).
I'm assuming that you've got a <!--BV 'fileUploadButton'-->
elsewhere in your template to add the submit button :)
My submission looks like the following:
<submission name="uploadFile">
<param name="file"/>
</submission>
Ah, there's the problem - you're saying that a parameter
called file will be used rather than saying a file will
arrive... Checking over the DTD declaration for <submission>
and it takes (param | bean | file). So if we re-write your
submission snippet like this:
<submission name="uploadFile">
<file name="file"/>
</submission>
The rest of your code will work.
And I thought, that I can get the file with the following code that
handles the submission:
public void doUploadFile()
{
UploadedFile uploadedFile = getUploadedFile("file");
logger.debug("UploadedFile: " + uploadedFile.getName()); }

Must I define a bean with a constraint .file(true)?
I couldn't find much about it in the documenation.
No, using beans for file upload isn't required; and you're
absolutely right, documentation for such a simple file upload
was indeed missing.
I've added a section to the RIFE LiveGuide to address this,
feel free to amend it if needed:
