Oracle ADF af:inputFile and af:commandButton give JS error on IE 9

Question

I have a a very simple jspx with no backing bean:

<f:view>
    <af:document id="d1" title="Home">
      <af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
        <af:pageTemplate value="#{bindings.pageTemplateBinding.templateModel}" id="pt1">
          <f:facet name="content">
          <af:group>
          <af:inputFile label="" id="logoImageFile" />
            <af:commandButton text="Up" />
          </af:group>

          </f:facet>
        </af:pageTemplate>
      </af:form>
    </af:document>
  </f:view>

As soon as I click on the commandButton after selecting a file to upload, IE 9 throws a generic JS error. Other browsers [IE 8, FF, Chrome] are working fine. Even if I put autosubmit=true in inputFile, it throws an error unless I comment out the commandButton.

Note: This is probably a component issue , however would like to know if any of you found a workaround/fix/patch. I am using Jdev 11.1.1.5

Answer 1

set partialSubmit="true" for the button to avoid a full page reload

Answer 2

This is a problem with the incomplete support of IE 9 in Jdev 11.1.1.5. The issue does not replicate in Jdev 11.1.1.6 and higher (I tested only on 11.1.1.6)
