Question

I am trying to upload a file using rich:fileUploader and its not triggering the uploadListener be it whatever.

Here is the code, let me know if something is missing 🙂

    <f:view>
    <a4j:loadScript src="resource://jquery.js" />
    <h:form id="uploadFileForm" prependId="false">
        <rich:fileUpload immediateUpload="true"
            listHeight="150px;" noDuplicate="true" listWidth="350px;" 
            maxFilesQuantity="1" locale="de" 
            fileUploadListener="#{paramFileUpload.fileUploadsListener}">
        </rich:fileUpload>          
    </h:form>
    </f:view>

public void fileUploadsListener(UploadEvent event) {
    LOGGER.info("In ActionListener of file upload");
    UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem();
    LOGGER.info("item : " + item.getFileSize() + ", " + item.getContentType() + ", " + item.getData());
    if(item.getFile() != null) {
        LOGGER.info("File name and size : " + item.getFile().getPath() + ", " + item.getFile().getTotalSpace());
    }
}

This is in web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
    <param-value>server</param-value>
</context-param>

When page is loaded , the firebug console shows errro as below :

parentForm is null
ProgressBar={};ProgressBar=Class.creat...' {parentForm=parentForm.parentNode;} 

And when file is chosen from file browser,

this.progressBar is undefined
if(this.labelMarkup){var progressData=...._fileSizeScriptTimeoutId=undefined;}

Finally I had to do it the tomahawk way by defining a servlet in web.xml and using t:inputFileUpload to upload the file. This will inturn trigger my backing bean to yield a UploadedFile 🙂
