Visualforce and Sites - Attach File on Save

I am trying to attach a file on Save. The code works if the Attachment fields are filled out prior to hitting save. If all of the Attachment fields are not filled out, the record will save but the attachment doesn't.

 

This is a Sites project in which the "guest" user only has create/read access to the "AESK_Test" custom object. If I allow edit rights to the object, everything works.

 

Is there a way to have the record perform the regular validation (i.e. error if form fields and Attachment fields are not filled out), save the record, and then attach the Attachment? If not, is there a way to perform validaiton on just the Attachment fields which would ensure all three fields are filled out prior to saving?

 

Snippet of my Visualforce Page:

          <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
            <apex:outputLabel value="File Name" for="fileName"/>
            <apex:inputText value="{!attachment.name}" id="fileName" required="true"/>
          </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
          
          
          <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
            <apex:outputLabel value="Description" for="description"/>
            <apex:inputTextarea value="{!attachment.description}" id="description" required="true"/>
          </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>          
          
 
          <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
            <apex:outputLabel value="File" for="file"/>
            <apex:inputFile value="{!attachment.body}" id="file" required="true"/>
          </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

We have also experienced this problem. Unfortunately the best workaround we could come up with a 2 part form. The first part collects (and validates) the form fields and the second page accepts the file upload. In the code we are creating the record after the user leaves the first page but before the upload the attachment. We have a flag on the record to indicate the submission process was completed (with attachment).

 

We tried everything to get around this issue but in the end had to settle for the 2 part form. if you (or someone else) ends up solving this, that would be great!
