Is file filtering possible in SEAM with s:fileUpload, need to decide on new project....

Hi,

We have a requirement to provide file upload component, where when user clicks on Browse button, it should point to specific directory with specific files filtered.

Example : \uploadFiles*-upload.xml
i.e. user should see only files ending with say -upload.xml and clicking on Browse should point to uploadFiles directory by default.

Is it possible with s:fileUpload or rich:fileUpload in SEAM.

Thanks

from 3.3.0.GA ref doc:

Restriction on File type, file size and number of files to be uploaded.

Not sure if your functional requirement will be satisfied by the s: or rich: component out of the box...

We are currentrly using jboss-4.2.3 and jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1. I think latest version jboss-seam-2.1.1.GA uses richfaces 3.2.2.

Need suggestion :
a) Will it help if I download richfaces-ui-3.3.0.GA and use with jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1

b) Our requirement is very simple, client just needs as browser file option and user should be able to select the file, good thing is we only need to store the path and name of the file to database there will be no actual loading of the file.
(We have separate application which will read the path of stored file and do some other other processing, out of Seam context).
Will s:fileUpload help in this.

Thanks
