Flash Support in FileUpload does not work

[pschuett]

Hallo,

I use rich:fileUpload and I have a problem with the flash support:

<rich:panel id="uploadPanel" bodyClass="info" style="min-height:40em">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="#{ar.file_upload_select_process_files}" />
</f:facet>
<rich:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{fileUploadBean.uploadListener}"
maxFilesQuantity="#{fileUploadBean.uploadsAvailable}"
id="upload" noDuplicate="true"
immediateUpload="#{fileUploadBean.autoUpload}"
acceptedTypes="xpdl" allowFlash="#{fileUploadBean.useFlash}"
listHeight="37em">
<a4j:support event="onuploadcomplete" reRender="info, foundDefsTable,importButton" />
<f:facet name="label">
<h:outputText value="#{ar.file_upload_uploading}" />
</f:facet>
</rich:fileUpload>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{fileUploadBean.useFlash}">
<a4j:support event="onclick" reRender="uploadPanel, upload" ajaxSingle="true"/>
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
<h:outputText value="#{ar.file_upload_multiple_selection}"/>
</rich:panel>


When I set fileUploadBean.useFlash to True (with the checkbox) then the add-Button of rich:fileUpload is disabled.
If I set it to false then everything works, but I cannot select multiple files to upload.

I use the following entries in my Maven-POM:


org.richfaces.framework
richfaces-api
3.3.2.SR1


org.richfaces.framework
richfaces-impl
3.3.2.SR1


org.richfaces.ui
richfaces-ui
3.3.2.SR1


I use Flash 10.0.32.18 and it does not work in Firefox 3.5, IE 8 and Opera 10.01.

there are known problems with FU flash mode under https. Is it your case?

[pschuett]

No, I do not use https.

[ilya_shaikovsky]

do you able to see the same when open rf-demo sample?

[pschuett]

On http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/fileUpload.jsf does it works.
But when I select useFlash the add-button is deactivated a part of a second and the activated.
But it works.

[ilya_shaikovsky]

so demo works for you... deactivation of add button - caused by the fact that upload script re-initialized after reREnder-ing.

I still can't reproduce your problem - please localize the problem and create war sample for us.

Thanks!
