    Well, a simple answer is: Remove all the logger related statements, they are just used to print some debugging lines. They are not required for file upload. –  Oct 11 '11 at 07:00
  • You do **not** want to get the path of the file. You want go get the **contents** of the file. Read this thoroughly: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81180/how-to-get-the-file-path-from-html-input-form-in-firefox-3/3374408#3374408 – BalusC Oct 11 '11 at 11:32

There is no such component in standard JSF. However, there are several component libraries that offer file selection:

You could check this out - http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/fileUpload.jsf, and build yours accordingly.
