Trinidad/ADF Faces, file upload, EOFException

I use JSF 2.3 (Mojarra 2.3.3), Trinidad (2.2.1) and its file upload component (tr:inputFile) in a web.xml-version 3.1 on a Tomcat 8.5 server.

I get following exception and no valid uploaded file (i.e. the "value"-binded bean attribute remains null):

java.io.EOFException: null

(Info: The JSF 1.2 version with Trinidad 1.2.14 with web.xml-version 2.5 on Tomcat 6 or a Weblogic 10 does not have this problem.)

While searching for a solution I found that this seems to affect not only my concrete situation, but also:

ADF Faces (at least 12.x)
Trinidad 2.1
JSF 2.x in general
Wildfly (10.1)

Solution

Searching for an answer I developed a solution I want to share.

Use JSF's <h:inputFile> (since JSF 2.2) instead of <tr:inputFile>.
You may continue to use <tr:form usesUpload="true">, but see notes below.
In the backing bean you have to simply replace org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.UploadedFile with javax.servlet.http.Part and use getSubmittedFileName() instead of getFileName().

With this, file upload already works, but the EOFException still occurs and is logged (but ignored internally).
To prevent the needed TrinidadFilter (configured in web.xml) from processing the file upload, add your own javax.servlet.Filter (most apps will already have one, I guess) and put in its doFilter():

request.setAttribute("org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.config.upload.FileUploadUtils.PROCESSED", Boolean.TRUE);

Of course, your filter must be executed before the TrinidadFilter, so either use a broader filter-mapping or place it before TrinidadFilter in your web.xml.

Additional notes:

When using <tr:form> the <h:inputFile> will output the wrong error/warning "File upload component requires a form with an enctype of multipart/form-data" via FacesMessage - but not for javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE Production.
You may simply ignore it in development or use <h:form enctype="multipart/form-data"> instead. But note: <h:form> is a naming container and <tr:form> is not, so addressing input elements differs (hformId:inputId instead of simple inputId)
If your <tr:inputFile> is used inside a <tr:panelFormLayout>, put the <h:inputFile> inside a <tr:panelLabelAndMessage> and put the label there.
CSS styling for af|inputFile::content must also be done for input[type="file"].
