OO/Framework, Uploading Images Issue

Question

I am using using a form that uploads a file. If I use a self
calling form
that
reinitializes the form values from the bean cfc, my field
contatining the
image no longer recognizes it as an image and the
cffile fails.
<cfif isdefined('form.staffid')>
<cfoutput> in isdefined staff </cfoutput>
<cfset staffmember = createobject('component',
'datafoo.cfc.staff').init(form)>
<!--- check for errors before saving --->
<cflock name="photolock" timeout="30">
<cffile action= "upload"
filefield='staffmember.filetoupload'
destination="#expandpath(arguments.directory)##staffmember.filename#"
nameconflict="makeunique">
</cflock
</cfif>
I get the error: The form field staffmember.filetoupload did
not contain a
file.
However, if I take that form and instead of recreating the
instance from the
bean.init,
just run the upload using the form variable, the image gets
uploaded fine
<cfif isdefined('form.staffid')>
<cfoutput> in isdefined staff </cfoutput>
<!--- IGNORE <cfset staffmember =
createobject('component',
'datafoo.cfc.staff').init(form)> --->
<!--- check for errors before saving --->
<cflock name="photolock" timeout="30">
<cffile action= "upload"
filefield='file.filetoupload' <!--- *** use form var here
works --->
destination="#expandpath(arguments.directory)##form.filename#"
nameconflict="makeunique">
</cflock
</cfif>
Any suggestions?
In the bean init I have
<cfcomponent >
<cfproperty name="filetoupload" type="string"
default="">
<cfscript>
//Initialize the CFC with the default properties values.
this.filetoupload='';
</cfscript>
<cffunction name="init" output="false"
returntype="staff">
<cfargument name="stValues" required="no"
type="struct">
<cfif isdefined('arguments.stValues')>
<cfset this.filetoupload =
arguments.stValues.filetoupload>
<cfreturn this>
</cffunction>
</component>
Any suggestions?

Yep, got that too. This is an old application that I am
rewriting during a
'facelift' project so the forms
all exist and work.
I am using the Beans/Dao/Gateway that is originally created
in CFEclipse and
customizing to manage
validation other custom issues.
The bean sets the original variable using cfproperty tag
<cfproperty name='filenamehere' type='string'
default=''>
Then in the init( obj ) function, the form structure is
passed into the init
function (as obj structure) and the
this.filenamehere variable is loaded from the form.
<cfscript>
this.filenamehere =...;
</cfscript>
This is where I have attempted putting the form variable
containing the
file. I have tried it as
this.filenamehere = obj.filenamehere; <-- no good
this.filenamehere = '#obj.filenamehere#'; <-- no good
this.filenamehere='obj.filenamehere' <-- no good
<sigh>
