I am trying to use fileUpload component. As I read from primefaces user guide, I have to configure the fileUpload filter.
<filter> <filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name> <filter-class> org.primefaces.webapp.filter.FileUploadFilter </filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>PrimeFaces FileUpload Filter</filter-name> <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name> </filter-mapping>
I added these lines (suggested by the guide) to the web.xml file.
Now, when the server (Tomcat 7) is starting, I get an exception and the server fails to start. I'll post part of stack trace.
GRAVE: A child container failed during start java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/webApp]] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerGet(Unknown Source) at... Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItemFactory at.... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItemFactory
Is the configuration of this filter useful? How can I configure it properly?
