XPage fileDownload1 control becomes editable on page full refresh? - xpages

Question

Why fileDownload1 control becomes editable (delete file attachment icon appears next to fileDownload control) when I just refresh the page. Here is my code where I use a button to refresh the page (just for the example)
<xp:button value="Label" id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete"></xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
<xp:this.data>
<xp:dominoDocument var="document1" formName="myXpage"
databaseName="${javascript:sessionScope.SUPPORT_DB_FILE}"
action="openDocument">
</xp:dominoDocument>
</xp:this.data>
<xp:fileDownload
id="fileDownload1"
rows="30"
displayLastModified="false"
displayType="false"
displayCreated="false"
hideWhen="true"
allowDelete="true"
value="#{document1.MyBodyRTF}">
</xp:fileDownload>

I tried to replicate what you're describing, but am having trouble doing so. I created a new XPage and modeled it after your sample code.
Notable differences:
I never see the trash icon
I had to compute the UNID of some document with an attachment in the appropriate field
I set both the DB name and UNID in beforePageLoad
I noticed an interesting change in the UI behavior (see animated gif below)
I'm not sure what you're running into without having more source code to be able to view, but I can confirm that what I tried doesn't reproduce the result you're describing.
XPage source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view
xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
<xp:this.beforePageLoad><![CDATA[#{javascript:sessionScope.myDbName = database.getFilePath();
var vw:NotesView = database.getView("SomeForms");
var first:NotesDocument = vw.getFirstDocument();
sessionScope.myFirstDoc = first.getUniversalID();
first.recycle();
vw.recycle();}]]></xp:this.beforePageLoad>
<xp:this.data>
<xp:dominoDocument
var="document1"
action="openDocument"
formName="SomeForm"
databaseName="${javascript:return sessionScope.myDbName;}"
documentId="${javascript:return sessionScope.myFirstDoc;}" />
</xp:this.data>
<xp:fileDownload
rows="30"
id="fileDownload1"
displayLastModified="false"
value="#{document1.SomeAttachments}" />
<xp:button
value="Refresh"
id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler
event="onclick"
submit="true"
refreshMode="complete" />
</xp:button>
</xp:view>
