The “ironic programmer” published an article, how to create a really basic file upload with jsf2. He has not created any custom tags, but simply added a file-input field in his view and made the server populate a byte-array in his bean.

His post was influenced by Uploading files with JSF 2.0 and Servlet 3.0 by BalusC.

He probably missed our JSF2 FileUpload-Github-Project where the taglib is ready for usage and really simple to integrate.

Still, thumbs up for the nice post!
