UtilInterface was modified to continue scanning the serialized form even if a "file" was not valid. The problem occurred in a Spring sample where an element was named "file" but was not a file upload. Appending -file to the field name is likely not sufficient (due to cases like this) so we may want to modify the mechanism further.

Spring MVC contains an AjaxUtils class that includes an ajax detection method:

public class AjaxUtils {

public static boolean isAjaxRequest(WebRequest webRequest) {

• String requestedWith = webRequest.getHeader("X-Requested-With");
  + String requestedWith = webRequest.getHeader("Faces-Request");
  + if ("partial/ajax".equals(requestedWith)) { + return true; + }

  +
  + requestedWith = webRequest.getHeader("X-Requested-With");
  return requestedWith != null ? "XMLHttpRequest".equals(requestedWith) : false;
  }

This application class was modified to detect the Faces-Request parameter that the ICEmobile containers currently send, but the X-Requested-With header set by jQuery should also be considered. Note that we may need to distinguish between full page and ajax requests in the container; however a full-page request should be a new method since the current ice.upload() does not replace the current page with the HTTP response.

Initial Spring MVC support is available in 1.1 BETA.
