Primefaces FileUpload with PrettyFaces and JSF 2.2.3

Question

I'm having some problems with PrettyFaces on the pages I use <p:fileupload>.

When I disable the PrettyFaces filter on the page, everything works just fine. When I put it back, I can see the HTTP traffic on the webbrowser, but my fileupload handler is never fired.

This is some relevant part of the code.

Any help would be appreciated!

My .xhtml

<h:form id="formImportarSNs" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
<p:fieldset legend="Admin Panel">    
   <p:fileUpload value="#{adminPanelBean.file}" mode="simple"/>                            
   <p:commandButton ajax="false" actionListener="#{adminPanelBean.upload}"            value="confirm" />  

</p:fieldset>  
</h:form>  

My backingBean

package br.sgrd.bean;  

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;  
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;  
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;  
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;  
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;  
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;  

import org.primefaces.model.UploadedFile;  

@ViewScoped  
@ManagedBean  
public class AdminPanelBean{  

    private UploadedFile file;  

    public void upload() {    
        if(arquivo != null) {    
            FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Succesful", file.getFileName() + "     is uploaded.");    
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, msg);    
        }    
    } 

    // getters/setters/etc

}

</pretty-config> 

Edit: Cleaned up some code.

I've found the solution.

Create the context.xml in the META-INF folder and put this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context allowCasualMultipartParsing="true">
</Context>

You can remove the Fileupload Filter from web.xml

And that's why you need to put it: How to use HttpServletRequest#getParts() in a servlet filter running on Tomcat?

If your problem is the size of the file, take a look at: <p:fileUpload> limiting to 2 Mb
