    rich:fileupload with request scope?

    mohtisham

      How we can upload files with backing beans having the request scope. It is working fine with the session scope. But when i change the scope from session to request it stops showing the picture im using the following code.

          Hi Mohtisham,

           

          a4j:mediaOutput downloads file contents in separate request(s), so you need to use scope with longer lifetime than request. You can try conversation scope existing in Seam.

            Well, i have surely used that scope available in seam but as you can see i'm using spring so, how can i handle it?

              nbelaevski

              Right - haven't noticed Spring annotations used in code. Conversation scope exists in WebFlow, so how about trying it?

                Well, i have to do it with spring request scope all i can do is that i can chang my logic to display the picture either replace <a4j:mediaOutput with some other component or any change in my backend logic.

                  just store your files not in this request scoped object but outject to some object with longer scope and use in 'paint' method.

                    Well, i have tried through <a4j:keepAlive with so many ways like, i store the file on my computer and put the path of that file in keepalive bean. When i used the <h:outputText it showed me the path to that file. But when i used the <a4j:mediaOutput it again throw the null pointer exception i don't know what's wrong with the <a4j:mediaOutput. Everything works fine and the path is shown but there is something wrong with the <a4j:mediaOutput my code is as following:

                      Everything works fine and the path is shown but there is something wrong with the <a4j:mediaOutput my code is as following:

                       

                      Hi Mohtisham,

                       

                      a4j:mediaOutput downloads file contents in separate request(s), so you need to use scope with longer lifetime than request. You can try conversation scope existing in Seam.

                        Well, i have already clearly told you that, i don't want to use "seam" just becuase of this control why a new framework just for one control? According to you it is impossible to do it with request scope i got it; now let others to give answer.
