I have a symfony2 question on uploads. I am using doctrine and have two entities, the first called "Issue" that has many attachments and a second called "Attachment". I am using a dynamic data solution that enables people to upload many attachments on the "Issue" form and give each upload a title. When I save the "Issue" the associated attachment rows are also saved but only the title :( The actual files being uploaded are never captured by the "upload" method. I am following the symfony2 cookbook tutorial and wondered if I have missed a step? I'm a bit lost and very early in my learning curve and not sure how to debug this problem.
My Attachment entity reads as follows :
namespace WebConfection\ServiceDeskBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile;

* @ORM\Table(name="webconfection_servicedesk_attachment")
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="WebConfection\ServiceDeskBundle\Repository\AttachmentRepository")
* @ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks()
*/
class Attachment
{
private $temp;
/**
* @ORM\Id
* @ORM\Column(type="integer")
* @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")

protected $id;
/**

/**
