Here's what I've come up with so far.....anyone want to add anything
before I commit this?
<info>
<p>
<strong>NOTE</strong>: When setting this to some value, whether
intentional or as the result (for example) of validation errors
forcing the user back to the original jsp, this value is ignored
by most browsers.
This means that your users will have to re-select any previously
selected file(s) when submitting the form. The Opera web
browser
will prompt the user so they have a chance to abort the submit.
</p>
Value to which this field should be initialized. [Use the
corresponding bean property value or body content (if any) if
property is not specified]
