You may probably save the file first with the sessionID in a temp folder. Save the path to the session and use it when the file field is null.
I believe that should work.

Validate with javascript before the submit. That is the only way. There is no means to pass the file reference back to the page.

I have the same problem but unable to find solution yet, except to validate as much as I can in the browser side so that I can retain the file field.

I am somewhat of a Struts newbie, and I could use some advice on implementing a component of an application.
I have a form that allows a user to upload a file, along with associated meta-data. If the form's validate() method returns ActionErrors, the form will keep the originally entered fields as default values so that the user can just fix his or her errors and continue.
Is there a facility to do something similar with a file? I don't really want to have the file transmitted back and forth in the case of a form validation error, and there does not seem to be a mechanism in HTML for including an entire file as a default value anyway. But I do not want the user to need to re-select the file from the file system just because one or more of the meta-data fields has a validation error.
Any thoughts on how to go about this?
Thanks!
John
