Hi:

I have a visualforce page that uses the inputFile tag to up load files, code below.

I let the user upload multiple files and every file is saved using a Transient variable.

Everything seems to be working correctly, I can up load lots of files, the strange thing is when I upload a file that is 128K or more I get the "Maximum view state size limit (128K) exceeded. Actual viewstate size for this page was 130.141K" error.

BUT when I go to the record in sfdc the attachment is there and I can download it and view it.

Any ideas?

public class MyController{

private Boolean showMessage;

private Message__c newMessage;
private Attachment newAttachment;
private List<String> attachmentList;
private String attachmentName;
Transient Blob attachmentBody;

public Boolean getShowMessage(){retrun this.showMessage;}

public Message__c getNewMessage(){return this.newMessage;}
public List<String> getAttachmentList(){return this.attachmentList;}
public String getAttachmentName(){return this.attachmentName;}
public Blob getAttachmentBody(){return this.attachmentBody;}

public void setAttachmentName(String pAttachmentName){this.attachmentName = pAttachmentName;}
public void setAttachmentBody(Blob pAttachmentBody){this.attachmentBody = pAttachmentBody;}

public PageReference newMessage(){
this.newMessage = new Message__c();
return null;
}

public PageReference saveNewMessage(){
try{
insert this.newMessage;

}catch(DmlException e){
ApexPages.addMessages(e);
}
return null;
}

public PageReference saveNewMessageAndAttach(){
saveNewMessage();

showMessage = false;

return null;
}

public PageReference attachDocument(){
this.newAttachment = new Attachment();
this.newAttachment.Name = this.attachmentName;
this.newAttachment.Body = this.attachmentBody;
this.newAttachment.ParentId = this.newMessage.Id;

try{
insert this.newAttachment;
this.attachmentList.add(this.attachmentName);
}catch(DmlException e){
ApexPages.addMessages(e);

}

return null;
}

public PageReference saveMessageWithAttachments(){
this.attachmentList = new List<String>();
return null;
}

}
