If you use the file upload control provided by Seam then you get all the things you mentioned (file name, content type, etc). Shane, Sorry but could you detail a bit more about file upload control provided by Seam? Do you mean something like this: <s:fileUpload data="#{uploadAction.uploadedFile}" /> (..where uploadedFile is component of type org.apache.myfaces.custom.fileupload.UploadedFile) I tried this but the result is the same - null uploadedFile inside non-null uploadBean. However, if I specify uploadedFile to be byte[], it will work because it uploads byte stream instead of UploadedFile class type. With byte[], I can only get the content and the size but not other meta attributes of the file. Is there an example of how to use Seam's upload somewhere that I can take a look?
