File Upload

I have attempted to use the MAFileUploadComponent slightly more manually
than usual.

e.g.

  getComponent

  ^ widget childrenCache at: {item. field} ifAbsentPut: [
        (field componentClass
                    memento: (MAStraitMemento model: item description:
field)
                    description: field
                    parent: widget).
    ].


However, the value returned to the callback is the filename string,
rather than the file itself. I feel I am missing something somewhere,
any ideas what it might be?

Is your form declared as a multipart form? Magritte normally does  
that automatically, but only if it knows that there is a file-upload  
component somewhere.

I do find the whole forms handling in seaside a confusing thing...

I dont see how my inner components are supposed to know whether or not
they are in a form. I am not sure how much seaside does for me in this
respect etc etc...

anyways... thanks again for your help

You can find that out by walking up the stack. Something like this  
should work (but it is not nice):

isWithinForm
     current := thisContext.
     [ current isNil ] whileFalse: [
         current selector = #form
             ifTrue: [ ^ true ].
         current := current sender ].
     ^ false

In Magritte the model tells Seaside if it requires a multipart form  
or not.
