rich:fileUpload and null data

[apashkev]

I'm trying to upload a file to the server using rich:fileUpload, the code I'm using looks like this :

FileUploader.java

@Name("fileUploader")
public class FileUploader {

private byte[] fileData;

    public void uploadFileListener(UploadEvent uploadEvent) {
        fileData = uploadEvent.getUploadItem().getData();
        //other code here
    }  
}

page contains the following :

rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{fileUploader.uploadFileListener}"

but uploadEvent.getUploadItem().getData(); returns null... 

I've set those parameters in web.xml as well :

<init-param>
<param-name>createTempFiles</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>maxRequestSize</param-name>
<param-value>2000000</param-value>
</init-param>

still returns null,...

Thanks!

as you defined

<param-name>createTempFiles</param-name>

<param-value>true</param-value>

you should use getFile instead of getData

Hi, I use

FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(item.getFile());

file.setData(IOUtils.toByteArray(fileInputStream));

and worked
