"Is an empty file (0 bytes) equal to "no file" (ie. null)?" is the same as "Is an empty String (length 0) equal to "no String" (ie. null)?"
Technically the answer is "no" for both questions. Well the pragmatical (and only reasonable) answer to the second question is "yes" in the JSF spec (comp. "required" for h:inputText). Therefore it makes sense to say "yes" to Q1 as well. +1 to mark 0-byte uploads as errorneous if required==true --Manfred On 10/29/07, Matthias Wessendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > currently Trinidad's inputFile allows the upload of an empty file (0 bytes). > I think it shouldn't.
