I have a file upload field in a form. I was adapting the form to handle
editing existing entries and ran into a stumbling block. When bringing
up a pre-populated form that has a file upload field how should I handle
it? Do I need to load the formfile in the bean? Then what?
Example:
Let's say I have form to add people and thier pictures to an app
Name: _____ <-- reg text input
Picture: _____ [Browse] <-- file upload
Now when I bringing this up to edit it and prepopulating from an action
Name: John
Picture: ______ <-- what should show here? just the file name?
It seems wasteful to load the image into the actionform when usually
I'm not editing it plus I'm not sure the best way to do that. (Any one
have sample code for loading a FormFile object from a file?) Maybe not
on little web gifs but what about a form where people are uploading
large pdfs. I don't want to force people to reupload everytime. In my
real app the people editing it later are not usually going to be the
people who uploaded the binary files. What is the standard behavior for
this?
Thanks, John
