Display uploaded image in JSF
I've gone for a different approach. I initially went for displaying an uploaded image, however if the Person
isn't created yet it seemed like a better idea to keep it all client side. I found this question and created the following based on the chosen answer:
In the head I include html5shiv if the browser is IE and the version is less than 9 for compatibility:
<h:outputText value="<!--[if lt IE 9]>" escape="false" />
<h:outputScript library="js" name="html5shiv.js" />
<h:outputText value="<![endif]-->" escape="false" />
To display/upload the image I have these elements:
<p:fileUpload binding="#{upload}" mode="simple"
allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/"
value="#{personBean.uploadedPicture}"/>
<p:graphicImage value="#" height="150" binding="#{image}" />
And some JavaScript/jQuery magic:
function readPicture(input, output)
{
if (input.files && input.files[0])
{
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e)
{
output.attr('src', e.target.result);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}
$("[id='#{upload.clientId}']").change(
function()
{
readPicture(this, $("[id='#{image.clientId}']"));
});
The uploadedPicture
property is now a simple property:
@ManagedBean(name = "personBean")
@ViewScoped
public class PersonBean
{
private UploadedFile uploadedPicture;
public UploadedFile getUploadedPicture()
{
return uploadedPicture;
}
public void setUploadedPicture(UploadedFile uploadedPicture)
{
this.uploadedPicture = uploadedPicture;
}
}
Add.xhtml
<h:form id="add-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p:growl id="messages" showDetail="true"/>
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<p:outputLabel for="choose" value="Choose Image :" />
<p:fileUpload id="choose" validator="#{productController.validateFile}" multiple="false" allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/" value="#{productController.file}" required="true" mode="simple"/>
<p:commandButton value="Submit" ajax="false" update="messages" id="save-btn" actionListener="#{productController.saveProduct}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
Here is Managed Bean Code:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class ProductController implements Serializable{
private ProductBean bean;
@ManagedProperty(value = "#{ProductService}")
private ProductService productService;
private StreamedContent content;
private UploadedFile file;
public StreamedContent getContent() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (context.getCurrentPhaseId() == PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE) {
return new DefaultStreamedContent();
}
else{
String imageId = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id");
Product product = getProductService().getProductById(Integer.parseInt(imageId));
return new DefaultStreamedContent(new ByteArrayInputStream(product.getProductImage()));
}
}
public ProductController() {
bean = new ProductBean();
}
public void setContent(StreamedContent content) {
this.content = content;
}
public UploadedFile getFile() {
return file;
}
public void setFile(UploadedFile file) {
this.file = file;
}
public void saveProduct(){
try{
Product product = new Product();
product.setProductImage(getFile().getContents());
getProductService().saveProduct(product);
file = null;
}
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void validateFile(FacesContext ctx,
UIComponent comp,
Object value) {
List<FacesMessage> msgs = new ArrayList<FacesMessage>();
UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile)value;
int fileByte = file.getContents().length;
if(fileByte > 15360){
msgs.add(new FacesMessage("Too big must be at most 15KB"));
}
if (!(file.getContentType().startsWith("image"))) {
msgs.add(new FacesMessage("not an Image file"));
}
if (!msgs.isEmpty()) {
throw new ValidatorException(msgs);
}
}
}
Add these lines of code in web.xml
<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>
And following jar files in WEBINF/lib folder.
commons-io-X.X and commons-fileupload-X.X, recommended most recent version.
commons-io-2.4,commons-io-2.4-javadoc,commons-io-2.4-sources,commons-io-2.4-tests,commons-io-2.4-test-sources,commons-fileupload-1.3,commons-fileupload-1.3-javadoc,commons-fileupload-1.3-sources,commons-fileupload-1.3-tests,commons-fileupload-1.3-test-sources
