facelets

I am currently looking in to some file uploading using Java Server Faces. I've found this great introduction to it using RichFaces. However, I have some troubles understanding the process here. First the user selects a file and if the immediate upload is set to true the file is processed using ajax, so far so good. When it comes to the next step however, the listener on the Bean-side the following confuses me: public void listener(UploadEvent event) throws Exception{ UploadItem item = event.getUploadItem(); File f = item.getFile(); System.out.println(f.getAbsolutePath()); } The Absolute path

In a postgres database I have a table with, among others, an int[] field. In my model I have a persisted bean that maps the table, including the int[] field. In this class I have implemented all the needed setters/getters. Now, I have a managed bean which plays also the controller role, and links to the model bean.

Facelets uses the jsfc attribute to convert HTML elements to their associated JSF components. This is rather helpful for fast prototyping as it allows you to create your views using a visual design tool. However I recently discovered this blog post by Cay Horstmann where he lays waste to the use of jsfc together with complex components such as h:dataTable . This alarmed me as Cay Horstmann is the author of multiple of my favorite Java books. However my Google-fu skills have yielded zero results when trying to determine the scope/nature of the problem, other than a recent post by Ed Burns , who
