提交时jsf primefaces fileupload

Question

Does anyone know how I can upload multiple files with primefaces ( http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/fileUploadMultiple.jsf ) when I click my own submit button? The upload-button there should not be visible, because I want to chose the upload-time on my own.

I have multiple pm-fileupload components in my document, so I want to upload them all together.

is there a way? Or must I use the old browser-upload?

Answer 1

Use multiple <p:fileUpload mode="simple"> generated by a <ui:repeat> or <h:dataTable> .

The <p:fileUpload mode="advanced"> indeed isn't suitable for this requirement, or you must turn on automatic immediate upload on select by adding auto="true" .
