<rich:fileUpload> calls more listeners

[larry3k]

I have 3 <rich:fileUpload> elements on my page. I know you can upload more files with this element but I also need to know the position of each picture (for example left, right etc...), so I decided to have a <rich:fileUpload> element for each position.

I have 2 problems:

1. I can select an image for all three elements but I can click the upload button only for the first one. For the second and the third the upload button is there but it doesn't work.

2. I have a different listener for each component and when I upload the file for the first component the first listener is called (so far so good) but then the second listener is also called and I get a NullPointerException.

Here is my code:


<h:outputText value="#{msg.text_right}" />

<rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{handler.listenerRight}" maxFilesQuantity="1" id="uploadR" listWidth="300px"
acceptedTypes="jpg, gif, png, bmp" />

<h:outputText value="#{msg.text_left}" />

<rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{handler.listenerLeft}"
maxFilesQuantity="1" id="uploadL" listWidth="300px"
acceptedTypes="jpg, gif, png, bmp" />

<h:outputText for="file3" value="#{msg.text_center}" />

<rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{handler.listenerFront}"
maxFilesQuantity="1" id="uploadF" listWidth="300px"
acceptedTypes="jpg, gif, png, bmp" />



public void listenerRight(UploadEvent event) throws IOException{
UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem();
InputStream picture = new ByteArrayInputStream(item.getData());
...
}

public void listenerLeft(UploadEvent event) throws IOException{
UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem();
InputStream picture = new ByteArrayInputStream(item.getData());
...
}

public void listenerFront(UploadEvent event) throws IOException{
UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem();
InputStream picture = new ByteArrayInputStream(item.getData());
...
}


thanks

seems you use old version. calling a few listeners for one upload component was already fixed. Please use at list 3.2.2 GA

You won't get three file upload working on one page at the same time.
HTTP or server usually allow only two requests from one client at the same time.

So, 1st request - file uploading, 2nd - getting progress info by AJAX requests.
So you see there is only one file upload can work on the page properly. (at the same time)
