Question

i am using the ace:fileEntry component to upload files
and after successful upload i get the message that:

'File Entry' uploaded successfully 'filename'.

and i want to override this message and display other message (some kind of a summary for parsing that uploaded file), any ideas how ?

here’s my code:

<h:form>
        <ace:fileEntry id="fileEntryComp"
               label="File Entry"
               relativePath="uploaded"
               fileEntryListener="#{mybean.uploadFile}"/> 



        <h:commandButton value="Upload Excel File" />
        <h:message for="fileEntryComp" />         

    </h:form>

You have to create your own message and send it. It will overwrite the default message. Its a strange behavior but it will work.

public void uploadFile(FileEntryEvent e) {
  FileEntry fe = (FileEntry)e.getComponent();

  FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
  FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage();
  msg.setServity(FacesMessage.SERVITY_INFO);
  msg.setSummary("mysummary");
  msg.setDetail("mydetail");
  ctx.addMessage(fe.getClientId(),msg);
}
