How to get filename when clear event fired

[brabbit27]

Hi all,

   I'm developping with JSF 2.1.6 Mojarra and RichFaces 4.1.0 Final. When a user uploads many files and then click on CLEAR ALL button I'm able to delete the files, but if the user clicks on CLEAR link (next to a certain file) how can I get the file's name of the cleared object?

   I've read this and this thread but I don't manage to make it work. I'm not so experienced with this web-development stuff.

   Here's what I have

                    <rich:fileUpload addLabel="Agregar" clearAllLabel="Quitar todos"
                                     clearLabel="Quitar" deleteLabel="Quitar"
                                     doneLabel="Completado" uploadLabel="Subir archivos"
                                     fileUploadListener="#{uploadBean.doUpload}"
                                     acceptedTypes="txt, csv"
                                     onclear="clearFunc(event.memo.entry.fileName);"
                                     noDuplicate="true">
                        <a4j:ajax event="uploadcomplete" render="validationButton"/>
                    </rich:fileUpload>


                    <a4j:jsFunction name="clearFunc" render="validationButton"
                                    actionListener="#{uploadBean.doClearFile}" >
                        <a4j:param name="filename"/>
                    </a4j:jsFunction>

and the backing bean being

    public void doClearAllFiles(){
        files.clear();
        validationButtonRendered = false;
    }

    public void doClearFile(){
        //How to get file's deleted name???
        files.remove(filename);
        validationButtonRendered = false;
    }

Basically I want to execute doClearAllFiles if ClearAll clicked otherwise doClearFile if Clear link next to a file is clicked (deleting just that file).

This is an unsightly hole in in the current fileupload component which we plan to address with the 4.3 release (RF-11746).  I've provided a workaround in another thread:

Ok. I tried that work around a few days ago but it wasn't working. Should I copy the 3 parts of code, even the javaScript function?

If so, where should I put that JavaScript code? Sorry to ask this but I'm still learning this web stuff.

Ok. Finally it worked for me. Now I have another little issue, maybe there's something I am missing. When I clear file by file the event is ok and I can delete the file cleared, but If I click on ClearAll button just the first two items are cleared, what could I be doing wrong??

Cheers !

How about multiple files with same names, how to identify which file need to remove
