Primefaces 2.2RC2 fileupload problems with SpringWebFlow

[jeffg]

I'm using primefaces 2.2.RC2, Springframework 3.0.4.RELEASE, and SpringWebFlow (2.2.1.RELEASE) with Tomcat 6 and we're unable to successfully upload files with our web app.

Project dependencies from my POM:
------------------------------------------
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
<artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>

<version>2.0.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.primefaces</groupId>
<artifactId>primefaces</artifactId>
<version>2.2.RC2</version>
</dependency>

From the applications web.xml
-----------------------------------
<filter>
<filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.primefaces.webapp.filter.FileUploadFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>thresholdSize</param-name>

</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

From the xhtml page:
-------------------------
<p:layoutUnit position="center" header="Form">
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data" prependId="false">
<br/>
<p:growl id="messages" showSummary="true" showDetail="true"/>
<p:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{testModel.handleFileUpload}" multiple="true" update="messages" sizeLimit="1073741824" allowTypes="*.pdf;*.txt;*.doc;" description="Documents"/>
</h:form>
</p:layoutUnit>

Here is what the client source shows:
-------------------------------------
<object width="110" height="30" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/javax.faces.resource/fileupload/uploadify.swf?ln=primefaces&amp;v=2.2.RC2" id="j_idt14_fileUploader" style="visibility: visible;">

<param name="flashvars" value="uploadifyID=j_idt14_file&pagepath=/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/&script=/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/fileupload;jsessionid=5F3E1ECDEFB613A7AB10D361AAD6DF4A?execution=e1s1&folder=&scriptData=javax.faces.partial.ajax%3Dtrue%26javax.faces.partial.execute%3Dj_idt14%26javax.faces.source%3Dj_idt14%26javax.faces.ViewState%3De1s1%26javax.faces.partial.render%3Dmessages%26cid%3D%23%7Bjavax.enterprise.context.conversation.id%7D&width=110&height=30&wmode=opaque&method=POST&queueSizeLimit=999&simUploadLimit=1&fileDesc=Documents&fileExt=*.pdf;*.txt;*.doc;&multi=true&sizeLimit=1073741824&fileDataName=j_idt14_file">
</object>

Steps taken to test:
-----------------------
I click the browse button then find a file to upload.
Then the component shows the name of the file and its size (as if its ready to do a file upload).
Then I click the upload link but nothing really happens after that on the server side.
The client side says it was successfully uploaded but no file is uploaded.


Here is what my log file states:

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong???

Thanks in advance,

PS. I did patch my fileupload.js script at the end with the following:

PrimeFaces.widget.Uploader.prototype._createPostParams = function() {
var b = {}; b[PrimeFaces.PARTIAL_REQUEST_PARAM] = true;
b[PrimeFaces.PARTIAL_PROCESS_PARAM] = this.id;
b[PrimeFaces.PARTIAL_SOURCE_PARAM] = this.id;
b[PrimeFaces.VIEW_STATE] = PrimeFaces.ajax.AjaxUtils.encodeViewState();
if (this.cfg.update) {
b[PrimeFaces.PARTIAL_UPDATE_PARAM] = this.cfg.update
}
var a = PrimeFaces.getCookie("JSESSIONID");
if (this.cfg.script.indexOf("jsessionid") == -1) {
paramIndex = this.cfg.script.indexOf('?');
if (paramIndex != -1) {
this.cfg.script = this.cfg.script.substring(0, paramIndex)
+ ";jsessionid=" + a
+ this.cfg.script.substring(paramIndex);
} else {
this.cfg.script = this.cfg.script + ";jsessionid=" + a;
}
}
b['cid'] = "#{javax.enterprise.context.conversation.id}";
return b;
};

PrimeFaces.widget.Uploader.prototype.createPostParams = PrimeFaces.widget.Uploader.prototype._createPostParams;

Here is what my uploadify object looks like:

<object width="110" height="30" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/javax.faces.resource/fileupload/uploadify.swf?ln=primefaces&amp;v=2.2.RC2" id="j_idt12_j_idt14_fileUploader" style="visibility: visible;">

<param name="flashvars" value="uploadifyID=j_idt12_j_idt14_file&pagepath=/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/&script=/SpringWebFlow-0.0.1/spring/fileupload;jsessionid=9AC418F1F899BA38653D73A3E5F5D7EF?execution=e1s1&folder=&scriptData=javax.faces.partial.ajax%3Dtrue%26javax.faces.partial.execute%3Dj_idt12%3Aj_idt14%26javax.faces.source%3Dj_idt12%3Aj_idt14%26javax.faces.ViewState%3De1s1%26javax.faces.partial.render%3Dj_idt12%3Amessages%26cid%3D%23%7Bjavax.enterprise.context.conversation.id%7D&width=110&height=30&wmode=opaque&method=POST&queueSizeLimit=999&simUploadLimit=1&fileDesc=Documents&fileExt=*.pdf;*.txt;*.doc;&multi=true&sizeLimit=1073741824&fileDataName=j_idt12_j_idt14_file">
</object>

Uploading of the file shows up as being successful but nothing in the way of a file shows up within my defined upload directory.

[aareshchanka]

check your web.xml file:
file upload component needs server STATE_SAVING_METHOD

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>server</param-value>
</context-param>

also check if upload filter is defined too.

Hey aareshchanka,

I really appreciate your response.

So I modified my web.xml to make sure it included the following:

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>server</param-value>
</context-param>

No difference. My event handler still isn't being invoked.

Try to compare your configuration with

https://src.springframework.org/svn/spr ... s-showcase

this is an example of SWF + primefaces, there is also fileupload example there and it works fine.

[jeffg]

Still working the issue.

Try 2.2. snapshot nightly.
