Question

In a <rich:popupPanel /> I have a <rich:fileUpload /> which has a fileUploadListener defined as #{assemblyMB.listener}. This listener method is defined on the managed bean as:

public void listener(FileUploadEvent event) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("listener");
}

on the JSF page I have:

<rich:fileUpload id="popupFileUpload"
    fileUploadListener="#{assemblyMB.listener}"
    onuploadcomplete="#{rich:component('popup')}.hide(); return false;"
</rich:fileUpload>

On the managed bean, I have declared the annotation @ManagedBean(name = “assemblyMB”).

I intend to access the method on the managed bean when the file is uploaded, but I’m failing to do so. I don’t understand why is that happening.

Can anybody throw me a light here? Thanks in advance,

Assuming RichFaces 4.0, all you need to ensure is that the parent <h:form> is set to encode the request body as multipart/form-data.

<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">

This way the file should be uploaded properly and the listener method should be invoked when the upload has been arrived in the server side.
