file uploader

[sej]

I am trying to add a file uploader control to a page.  I've changed the form tag to:

<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data" >

and I've added this tag:

<s:fileUpload id="file" data="#{searchAction.search.data}" fileName="#{searchAction.search.fileName}" />

There is a submit button:

<h:commandButton action="#{searchAction.searchIt}" id="btnSearch" value="Search" styleClass="button primaryAction searchButton"/>

It used to go through searchIt() when you clicked the submit button, but now it does not.  Any idea why?

in components.xml I've added:

xmlns:web="http://jboss.com/products/seam/web"

http://jboss.com/products/seam/web http://jboss.com/products/seam/web-2.0.xsd

<web:multipart-filter create-temp-files="true"
                      max-request-size="1000000"
                      url-pattern="*.seam" />

in web.xml I have added:

<filter>
      <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.jboss.seam.web.SeamFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
   
    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>Seam Filter</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

Did you check the Console after serverstart? Maybe there is an error on startup?
If not, can you clear the console before you click the button, then click the button and post the output please.
Helpful are some more informations too (source of xhtml, searchAction..)

There were no errors in the console after server start, and nothing shows up in the console when clicking submit.

Here is the search.xhtml page (I've temporarily removed search parameters and search results while I try to get the file uploader to work):

I would check if that search.data available where you trying to put your file data + also try to use the contentType attribute e.g.:

 <s:fileUpload 
    id="image" data="#{yourHome.yourImage}" 
    accept="image/png,image/gif,image/jpeg" 
    contentType="#{yourHome.yourImageContentType}"/>

the <s:fileUpload> tag does not appear to have any effect on it, because if I remove it completely, and only have the enctype attribute added to the form tag, it still does not go through the searchIt().  So there is something about the enctype attribute that is causing this.
