I suppose you can try implementing the code in the link, but I think the author was awarded the nobel prize for that one.

Alternatively try the tomahawk t:inputFileUpload component. It's a totally non-ajax solution, but it does work ok with

container security and you see it everywhere (facebook etc...). JSF 2.2 comes with it's own file upload component.

Brendan.

i did this way (RF 3.3.3):

<h:panelGroup id="uploadInfo">
  <rich:fileUpload id="fileUpload"
    acceptedTypes="xml" immediateUpload="true"
    fileUploadListener="#{fileBean.listener}"
    listHeight="0"  maxFilesQuantity="1">
    <a4j:support event="onuploadcomplete" reRender="uploadInfo" />
  </rich:fileUpload>
  <h:outputText value="#{fileBean.uploadedName}"/>
</h:panelGroup>

1. allow only 1 file

2. shrink frame (listHeight="0")

3. rerender after upload

Hi,

Richfile upload some times works different in diff browsers.It takes canonical path and Absolute Path in browsers. based upon you have to check it.

I have shared my code for you and others .It will be useful.

<rich:fileUpload   fileUploadListener="#{Bean.fileUploadListener}"

                                 maxFilesQuantity="1" 

                                id="upload" addControlLabel="Browse...." clearAllControlLabel="Clear all"

                                clearControlLabel="Clear" stopEntryControlLabel="Stop process" doneLabel="Success" autoclear="false"                

                                 acceptedTypes="xls,xlsx"  

                                immediateUpload="#{Bean.autoUpload}"

                                 allowFlash="false" >

                                 <a4j:support event="onuploadcomplete" reRender="info"/>                                                                

                             </rich:fileUpload>

      }

      File file = new File();

      file.setLength(item.getFile().length());

        log.info("FacesContextMessage.........");

        FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

        response = (HttpServletResponse)context.getExternalContext().getResponse();

      }

      else

      this.forFailure = "Failure";

      this.hiddenStatus = "Failure";

      setForFailure("Failure");

    }   

    log.debug("Before clearing merchantlistbean add......");
