I've notice that this topis has been started few times and I read every post that was about fileUploadListener in fileUpload control and still I can't get it work properly. listner is never called by fileUpload. Because of that few components are never rerendered because they depend on files uploaded by control. This is my configuration and source code.

This is page that contains uploadFile control (a lot of trash but I will refactor after I get this work):

I've tried putting it inside and outside form, panel, paneGroup; changing type of form from h:form to a4j form and many other sometimes even not logic possibilites and nothing worked.

Backing bean source code (Session scope):

public class PoliciesBean {

 @EJB(mappedName = "PolicyManager")
 private PolicyManager policyManager;

 private List<PolicyDTO> policiesList = null;

 private byte[] uploadedData = null;

 private List<UploadItem> uploadData;

 public PoliciesBean() {

 }

 public void togglePolicyActive(){
 this.policyManager.togglePolicyActive(this.togglePolicyActiveId);
 }

 public List<PolicyDTO> getPoliciesList() {
 if (null == this.policiesList) {
 try {
 this.policiesList = this.policyManager.retrieveAllPolicies();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
 return policiesList;
 }

 public void refreshPolicies(){
 this.policiesList = null;
 }

 public void listener(UploadEvent event) throws Exception {
 UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem();
 this.uploadedData = item.getData();
 }

 public void resetUpload(){
 this.uploadedData = null;
 }

 /* GETTERS AND SETTERS */

 public void setPoliciesList(List<PolicyDTO> policiesList) {
 this.policiesList = policiesList;
 }

 public byte[] getUploadedData() {
 return uploadedData;
 }

 public void setUploadedData(byte[] uploadedData) {
 this.uploadedData = uploadedData;
 }

 public List<UploadItem> getUploadData() {
 return uploadData;
 }

 public void setUploadData(List<UploadItem> uploadData) {
 this.uploadData = uploadData;
 }
}

And my faces xml configuration part:

 <managed-bean>
 <managed-bean-name>policiesBean</managed-bean-name>
 <managed-bean-class>com.comarch.nltbm.jsf.beans.PoliciesBean</managed-bean-class>
 <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
