I'm trying to get a really simple example I found online to work, I've tried searching everywhere but can't seem to find a solution.

This is the bean that I'm using:

@Named("uploadBean")
@RequestScoped
public class UploadBean {
    private Part file;
    private String fileContent;

    public void upload() {
        try {
            fileContent = new Scanner(file.getInputStream())
                    .useDelimiter("\\A").next();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // Error handling
        }

        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Uploaded!"));
    }

    public Part getFile() {
        return file;
    }

    public void setFile(Part file) {
        this.file = file;
    }

    public String getFileContent() {
        return fileContent;
    }

    public void setFileContent(String fileContent) {
        this.fileContent = fileContent;
    }
}

This is the form that uses it:

<h:form id="file-upload-test" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <h:inputFile id="in-file" value="#{uploadBean.file}"/>
    <h:commandButton value="Upload!" action="#{uploadBean.upload}"/>
</h:form>

Whenever I try to upload a file, upload() is never called.

Maybe the answer is too obvious, but I'm using JSF 2.2.7 and I'm not sure why this simple example shouldn't work?

    Which server? Does it support CDI? Which faces-config.xml version have you declared? Which web.xml version have you declared? What if you use a regular non-upload form? How does the HTTP request payload look like? Have you tried latest Mojarra version (currently 2.2.12)? – BalusC Jul 26 '15 at 05:53
  • I'm using Glassfish 4. Faces-config.xml is version 2.2, and web.xml is version 3.1. A regular form works fine and calls the same method properly. The HTTP request payload shows the file in the request. I updated the Glassfish JSF to 2.2.12 form 2.2.7 (and verified pragmatically), but still doesn't work. :( – mohoromitch Jul 26 '15 at 16:45

    Do you have any filters in the web application which might consume the request body (e.g. via `request.getParameter()`) before it hits the `FacesServlet`? – BalusC Jul 26 '15 at 16:50
  • That was it. I completely forgot that I had PrettyFaces filtering the page. Thanks so much for your help! – mohoromitch Jul 26 '15 at 22:26
