You will need flash uploader, such as SWFUpload

  • i have to do it without flash. what is ActiveX Object ? Can't I use that ? if yes How to use it? –  Jun 25 '09 at 13:10
  • no way to select multi files with just the normal open file dialog, you will need a flash object, silverlight, java applet or activeX, but i didn't try with activeX before. – Amr Elgarhy Jun 25 '09 at 13:52
  • I would suggest keeping a classic file-by-file upload next to the plug-in based one, just to cover exceptions. In today's modern world everything including smartphones have browsers, but not all of them feature an up-to-date Flash. – DrYak Dec 16 '09 at 15:19

Primefaces fileUpload component (see http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/fileUploadMultiple.jsf) is able to upload multiple files with a single click...but the selection of the files has to be done separately
