jsf 2 - Get file url in JSF 2.2 -

i trying make openfiledialog in backing bean, can url of local file. seems standard jsf library not support open/save file dialog. there way of getting url of file similar openfiledialog?

here has happen: click on button --> send action backing bean --> show openfiledialog --> url of file --> add url of file list of strings.

i not sure how accomplish bold steps above. there can give me leads or accomplish this?

(i using jsf & primefaces, prefer not use external library if possible.)

since you're using jsf 2.2 primefaces, why not use primefaces component itself?

below primefaces 5.0 showcase example basic file upload:

<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">     <p:growl id="messages" showdetail="true" />      <p:fileupload value="#{fileuploadview.file}" mode="simple" skinsimple="true"/>      <p:commandbutton value="submit" ajax="false" actionlistener="#{fileuploadview.upload}" disabled="true" /> </h:form> 

managed bean

import org.primefaces.event.fileuploadevent; import org.primefaces.model.uploadedfile;  @managedbean public class fileuploadview {      private uploadedfile file;      public uploadedfile getfile() {         return file;     }      public void setfile(uploadedfile file) {         this.file = file;     }      public void upload() {         if(file != null) {             facesmessage message = new facesmessage("succesful", file.getfilename() + " uploaded.");             facescontext.getcurrentinstance().addmessage(null, message);         }     } } 

the enctype attribute form required. also, using primefaces file upload, need setup context parameters , filters. may refer appropriate documentation same.
