Hi Jack, I finally got it to work. html:file doesn't get filled with a default value (thats a security concern), so I have passed the filename from display.jsp (preview) to my action and in my action class I am checking if the file exists, then I am renaming to another name for Submission and for Edit, I am checking if the file exists then I am deleting that file.
And the file is uploaded only once. But there is still a concern with this, What if the user uploads the image and goes to preview page and just closes the browser without submit or edit? There will be an unused image in the server. Can we do anything for this? one idea I have is to call another Action class "onUnLoad" using javascript and delete that file. May be there is a better way than this.

Forget about anything but telling me from a user's point of view what you want to do. You have a user using a browser and wanting to do something with files. If the file is on the server, then we are talking about a download. If the file is on the client (user machine), then we are talking about an upload. Tell me what the user wants to do with the files. From what you have said I might guess right, but I cannot know for sure.
