I'm having troubles with Primefaces FileUpload
I'm running a Glassfish 4.1 server with Primefaces 5.2 and PrettyFaces 2.0.12.Final.
I'm trying to get a FileUpload to work, but all attempts fail. The Primefaces guide tells me the primefaces.UPLOADER param is not required and if I'm using JSF 2.2, it uses the native uploader. My faces-config.xml tells me I'm running JSF 2.2.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config version="2.2"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd">
<application>
<resource-bundle>
<base-name>messages</base-name>
<var>rmsg</var>
</resource-bundle>
</application>
</faces-config>
Then the guide tells me, that if I select the common primefaces.UPLOADER, I need the filter-mapping. But since, I'm running JSF 2.2, I don't think I need that part. (Although I've tried it, without success).
Next the html config:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

</ui:decorate>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{outboxBean.handleFileUpload}" />
</h:form>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
This is the complete page, and in the main_template is no wrapping tag. So no nested form tags.
The outboxBean is defined below:
package com.erates.messagingapp.messaging;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped;
import javax.inject.Named;
import org.primefaces.event.FileUploadEvent;
/**
*
* @author Erates
*/
@Named(value = "outboxBean")
@SessionScoped
public class OutboxBean implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void handleFileUpload(FileUploadEvent event) {
Logger.getLogger(OutboxBean.class.getName()).log(Level.WARNING, "inside handleFileUpload");
}
}
My web.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd">

</web-app>
Because I'm using Prettyfaces, I've added the webapp/META-INF/context.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context allowCasualMultipartParsing="true">
</Context>
I can't see what I'm doing wrong, but the handleFileUpload method is just not called. I've tried the simple uploader, without the multipart/form-data enctype on the form. Nothing works.
No error is thrown, not in the backing bean, nor the console. The file(s) is(are) just uploaded (I think so, because the files listed on the page disappear) without calling the listener.
What am I doing wrong here?
