I have some issues with the <p:fileUpload>
in Primefaces. At first I tried the snippets in the Documentation of Fileupload starting on page 2018.
The first issue was that if I use the snippet, the upload function is not called:
public void upload() {
System.out.println("This is never shown");
if(file != null) {
System.out.println("This is never shown");
}
}
html:
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p:fileUpload value="#{fileUploadView.file}" mode="simple" />
<p:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{fileUploadView.upload}" ajax="false"/>
</h:form>
I have tried many other snippets and solutions. Advanced mode, with fileUploadListener, deleted the enctype in h:form, ....
If I choose mode="simple"
and combine it with ajax="true"
the function FileUploadView.upload()
is called, but the file is always NULL.
If I delete the enctype from the <h:form>
, the function FileUploadView.upload()
is called, but the file is always NULL.
I mention the issues above, because this should not work either, because I read all possible solutions on this forum. I also added all suggested dependencies
and context-params
and filter
, but it does not work.
Here I will post my pom.xml, web.xml and the full .java code: pom.xml

InputStream input = file.getInputstream();

I would appreciated if someone could help me finding the problem.
Thanks in advance
[EDIT]: I have tried to make a clean Spring project and tried all of the possibilities to make a <p:fileUpload>
, but none of them work. But I looked on the traffic of my browser, and I found out something interesting:
. The POST statement appears immediately after I pressed the uploadbutton, the other GETs appear 1-2 seconds after.
The documentation says
Advanced File Upload
FileUploadListener is the way to access the uploaded files in this mode, when a file is uploaded defined fileUploadListener is processed with a FileUploadEvent as the parameter.
Add the fileUploadListener with a FileUploadEvent parameter. Make the button AJAXical. Lose the enctype. Don't bother with fileUpload's value.
