HttpUploadBean works until you try to use setOverwrite

Question

Hi,
I am using the httpUploadBean successfully to upload files on to an AIX apps server. I have two JSPs deployed on my APPS server - the first one to accept the user input and the second one that actually uses the httpUpload bean and performs the upload. Everything works perfectly.
I'd like to enhance it and use the setOverwrite feature of the bean - to prevent files from being overwritten. As soon as I add the call setOverwrite(false), it throws and exception with the message 'file already exists'. the behavior i see is
a) there is no file in the upload directory
b) I call the bean to upload the file
c) the bean creates a zero byte file and complains that the file already exists!
I have an SR with Oracle but haven't been able to get any help. Here is a code snippet that I use in the second JSP - I am only showing here the part that concerns this issue
Example that always allows overwrite - this works perfectly
</jsp:useBean>
<% upbean.setBaseDir(application, request);
upbean.setOverwrite(true);
try
upbean.upload(request);
catch (oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.FileAccessException e)
String redirectURL = "index.jsp?msg="+e.getMessage();
response.sendRedirect(redirectURL);
Example that does not upload even if the file does not exist - the only change is the call to setoverwrite
</jsp:useBean>
<% upbean.setBaseDir(application, request);
upbean.setOverwrite(false); // SETTING THIS TO FALSE ALWAYS THROWS AN EXCEPTION
try
upbean.upload(request);
catch (oracle.jsp.webutil.fileaccess.FileAccessException e)
String redirectURL = "index.jsp?msg="+e.getMessage();
response.sendRedirect(redirectURL);
};

Have you tried Restoring from backup or Restore to new? If that doesn't work contact Apple Genius Bar. Good luck, Cheers.
