How to get parametrs to BackingBean from jsf page in <ui:repeat>

Question

My xhtml:

<ui:repeat value="#{c.voices}" var="v"> 
    <h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">  
        <p:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{AddNote.handleFileUpload}"
            converterMessage="converterMessage"
            mode="advanced"  
            update="messages"  
            sizeLimit="100000"                                                 
            allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/">
        </p:fileUpload>  
        <p:growl id="messages" showDetail="true"/>                                     
    </h:form> 
</ui:repeat>

My BackingBean:

 public void handleFileUpload(FileUploadEvent event) {
    //int v.id= here i need to know the v.id value from ui:repeater
    FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Succesful", event.getFile().getFileName() + " is uploaded.");
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, msg);
}

c.voices is list of objects. Every object have attribute id. I need to know the id in handelFileUpload how can I achieve that?

Answer 1

I would simply put v.id in an hidden field :

Your xhtml:

<ui:repeat value="#{c.voices}" var="v">
    <h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="hidden" name="vid" value="#{v.id}" />
        <p:fileUpload fileUploadListener="#{AddNote.handleFileUpload}"
            converterMessage="converterMessage"
            mode="advanced"
            update="messages"
            sizeLimit="100000"
            allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/">
        </p:fileUpload>
        <p:growl id="messages" showDetail="true"/>
    </h:form> 
</ui:repeat>

And then get it back in the bean using FacesContext :

Your BackingBean:

public void handleFileUpload(FileUploadEvent event) {
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) 
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
    request.getParameter("vid"); // <= Here you are!
}

UPDATE

As stated in the comments each iteration will have it's own <h:form with it's own <input type="hidden" name="vid". When a file is uploaded the handleFileUpload will be fired with the data of the enclosing form, thus the vid parameter will be sent with the correct #{v.id}

UPDATE 2

As BalusC commented you should preferably get vid parameter this way :

public void handleFileUpload(FileUploadEvent event) {
     FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
        .getRequestParameterMap().get("vid") // <= Here you are!
}
