rich:fileUpload does not call fileUploadListener

[zoltanverebes]

Hi all,

I am trying to use rich:fileUpload tag, but it does not call fileUploadListener in my backing bean when uploading is done. It creates the temporary file in my TEMP directory on the server.

I use Richfaces 3.2.1.GA with seam 2.0.2.
jsf code:
<h:form>
<rich:fileUpload id="upload" fileUploadListener="#{bean.fileUploadListener}" acceptedTypes="jpg, gif, png, bmp"/>
</h:form>

Backing bean method is in a conversation scope backing bean. it is the following:
public void fileUploadListener(UploadEvent event) throws IOException {
System.out.println("file listener has been called");
}

web.xml contains the following:

<filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>createTempFiles</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxRequestSize</param-name>
<param-value>20000000</param-value>
</init-param>



In the richfaces source i could see broadcast method of UIFileUpload class does not get called in the invoke application phase with an UploadEvent paramater. This method should call the fileUploadListener as i understood that code.

Has anyone got any idea?! Have you ever successfully used this component with seam?

Hi Zoltan,

I have it working, but I noticed something strange in its behavior. It seems like a bug. Perhaps this is related to your problem.

I have the fileUpload control inside of a rich:panel. If I use the rendered="..." attribute on the parent panel then the fileUploadListener doesn't fire and the uploader doesn't work (even though the rendered attribute is true). If I remove rendered="..." from the parent panel then fileUpload works fine.

I updated to RF 3.2.2 CR2 and it works fine. Thanks for your help!
