I am trying to design a form which takes as input a file name. I am not upload this file just storing the file name within a database. I would like to allow the user
to browse to the file to ensure the filename is correct. If I were using plain HTML I could use <input type="file"> . However, this is embedded in a a4j:form which is
doing other things. Is there a
JSF component similiar to input type="file"? or is there another way to do this? below is an example of the current working code. It is
using the <h:inputText> tag top capture the file name. I've highlighted the code below with ****** on the line in question.
