Dynamic allowed types in PrimeFaces fileUpload

My allowedTypes in PrimeFaces p:fileUpload are not static.They depend on some parameter which is passed as request parameter to the page. So how to change allowedTypes dynamically according to that request parameter.

Solution

  • I just tried it with defining the allowedTypes via a bean property and that is working for me. So define a allowedTypes property in you bean

    public String getAllowedTypes() {
    return "/(gif|png)$/";
}

    and call it in your page

    <p:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{fileUploadView.handleFileUpload}" mode="advanced" dragDropSupport="false"
       update="rocomessages" sizeLimit="100000" fileLimit="3" allowTypes="#{fileUploadView.allowedTypes}" />
