get fileUpload Link in java Bean

[dislodrum]

Hi,

I'm new in the forum and this is my first post.

I'm using the last version of PrimeFaces.

I'm trying to use p:fileupload and set the file in the backbean but it doesn't work!!

The user click on browse button and a window pop to choose a file on his computer. As soon as he chooses the file, I can see the link but it doesn't set the file in the backbean. I want to be able to copy the choosen file on the server.

I've try to do that:

Code: Select all

<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<p:fileUpload  value="#{documentationBean.file}" mode="simple"/>
	<p:commandButton value="Submit" ajax="false" actionListener="#{documentationBean.upload}"/>
</h:form>

I've set the web.xml for filter as the doc says.

I've set "private UploadedFile file;" in the java bean and the getter and setter with an upload method.

Code: Select all

public void upload() {
   //code
}

As soon as I choose the file when I click on browse button, I can see the link of the file but it doesn't set the file in the java bean!!

I hope I'm clear about what I'm trying to do.
If anybody can help, that'd be great.

Maybe you'll think about another solution, I'm completely stuck here.

Cheers

1. You should search for FileUploadListener.
2. You have not posted your bean code, so nobody knows - except you - in which scope you configured your bean.
3. Normal behaviour is a 2 click upload, or you have to configure auto="true" (or something similar).
