I am trying to use <p:cellEditor> for <p:fileUpload>. When I tried to upload a file, it comes as null. How is this caused and how can I solve it?
I'm using PrimeFaces 3.5 and JSF 2.0.
Here is the view:
<p:dataTable id="question" var="question" value="#{editor.questions}" editable="true" widgetVar="carsTable" resizableColumns="true">
<f:facet name="header">Economic</f:facet>
<p:ajax event="rowEdit" listener="#{editor.onEdit}" />
<p:ajax event="rowToggle" listener="#{editor.onRowToggle}" />
<p:column style="width:6%">
<p:rowEditor />
</p:column>
<p:column style="width:2%">
<p:rowToggler />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Performance Indicator" style="width:25%">
<h:outputText value="#{question.performanceIndicator}" title="#{question.performanceIndicator}"/>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Description" style="heigh:200px;width:200px">
<h:outputText value="#{question.description}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="CSR Label" style="width:25%">
<h:outputText value="#{question.csrLabel}" />
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="Response" style="width:25%">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{question.response}" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{question.response}" style="width:100%">
<f:selectItem value="#{tableBean.manufacturers}" itemLabel="Yes" itemValue="Y" />
<f:selectItem value="#{tableBean.manufacturers}" itemLabel="No" itemValue="N" />
<f:selectItem value="#{tableBean.manufacturers}" itemLabel="Partial" itemValue="P" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:column headerText="File" style="width:25%">
<p:cellEditor>
<f:facet name="output">
<h:outputText value="#{question.file.fileName}" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="input">
<p:fileUpload value="#{question.file}" mode="simple"/>
</f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
</p:column>
<p:rowExpansion>
<h:panelGrid id="display" columns="2">
<h:outputText id="model" value="#{question.description}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</p:rowExpansion>
</p:dataTable>
Update: Yes it's inside a <h:form>.
