DynaValidatorForm and FormFile

[John Nikolai]

I'm having problems using a DynaValidatorForm object and FormFile  
objects. The following seems to work fine when using Safari but crashes  
with the following error when using Mozilla and IE:

	org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException:
	Cannot assign value of type 'java.lang.String' to property 'file' of  
type  'org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile'

Searching through the archives I have seen some contradicting answers:
	http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg15312.html
	http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ 
msg47398.html

... and this example:

creating_html_clients/jsp_pstrutsdatapgdynaformbean.html

Before I run down the path of using a subclass of ActionForm (like in  
the struts-upload example) I wanted to be sure that I'm not missing  
something obvious.

I have the following defined:

struts-config.xml

        <form-bean
                name="applicationForm"
                type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
                <form-property
                        name="file"
                        type="org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile"/>
        </form>
test.jsp

	<html:form method="post" action="/applicationHandler"  
enctype="multipart/formdata">
		<html:file property="file" />
	</html:form>

action class (though it's not getting this far using IE):
        FormFile fileAttachment = (FormFile)actionForm.get("file");
        ... save it to the file system
Thanks for your help,
