fileUpload doesn't support ajax submit?

[liudan2005]

I'm using ajax4jsf commandButton to submit the form and I've noticed s:fileUpload doesn't work with ajax submit. here is my code:

<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data" id="myform">
 <s:fileUpload id="pictureUpload" accept="image/*" fileName="#{mycomponent.pictureName}"
 data="#{mycomponent.picture}" />
 <a:commandButton action="#{mycomponent.upload}" value="Upload" reRender="myform"/>

</h:form>

I'm afraid I don't know enough about how ajax4jsf works to really help, but one thing I might suggest is that the requests are being intercepted by the MultipartFilter.

Anyone have a work around for this? I am getting the same problem.

I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to do this with ajax4jsf as it is now.

No ajax component will be able to perform a direct file upload as javascript doesn't have access to the file system. I could be wrong on this as there is a plethora of ajax upload widgets around the web, however these all seem to be based around hidden iFrames (which ajax4jsf isn't) that utilise hidden input tags that are submitted in the background.

You should probably ask on the richfaces forum and especially the thread on rich:fileupload (http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=119282)
