When I select a file to upload and click on <p:commandButton> and if there is some validation error on any inputs and page gets refreshed the uploaded file disappear from the screen and I have to again select the file.

I would like that file instance already selected should not disappear.

How can I achieve this?

I think this is not allowed by browsers due to security reasons check this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/968157/1460591

Remember Primefaces and JSF must fellow HTML standards

So on validation phase JSF can't just simply hack the input[type='file'] and force the selection to the submitted file value before something like this : inputFile.setValue(*filePathOfSubmittedFileBefore*) NOT ALLOWED

USER ONLY CAN SELECT FILE NO ONE ELSE
