Issue with rich:fileUpload not refreshing components after

[stuntmonkey]

I'm trying to upload a text file using the rich:fileUpload component, then set the text of a h:outputText component to the data in the textfile. Here's the code snippet from my jspx page:

<rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{myBean.uploadListener}"
 maxFilesQuantity="3"
 id="upload"
 listHeight="400"
 listWidth="400"
 addControlLabel="Upload"
 immediateUpload="true"
 allowFlash="false">
 <a4j:support event="onuploadcomplete" reRender="fileText" />
</rich:fileUpload>

<h:outputText value="#{myBean.body}" id="fileText"/>

I've got a log printout in myBean.uploadListener, so I can see that myBean.body is actually getting set to the value of the textfile. However, "fileText" never appears to get updated with the new value.

When I searched the web for information, I found this bug (which makes it sound like "onuploadcomplete" is just plain broken).

.. and I would normally just shrug and wait for the bugfix. However, I'm confused since the livedemo for rich:fileUpload appears to successfully use "onuploadcomplete" to re-render their "Upload Files Info" panel. I'm using the same version of richfaces as they are, 3.3.1.GA.

So I'm a little stumped ... any ideas what's going on?

no, the bug you found not about broking updates in general. but about lack some of validation mechanisms functionality.

myBean - scope?

Ah! That was the problem. I had the scope of myBean set to "request". I changed it to "session" and things are behaving as expected now.

Thanks for the quick response - I was really stumped on that one!
