Since yesterday I struggle with uploading a file in my jsf web application. The tutorials (one from balusC, the other one from some offical java-tutorial page) I found were very good, but somehow it still won't run. I guess there's something wrong with the web.xml, because that were the answers I found on google, but still no good results for me. Now in details: Firstly: I build a new project just to test the upload, so if there are too many libraries (if there is s.th. like that), pls let me know. Secondly: it's a course projekt at my university, so there are some things, I have to use, like the h2-database and the glassfish application server. libraries I use: commons-el-1.0.jar commons-fileupload.1.2.1.jar commons-io-1.3.2.jar commons-logging.1.1.1.jar tomahawk20-1.1.10.jar h2-1.2.141.jar jboss-el-2.0.1.GA.jar jstl-1.2.jar jsf-api.jar my web.xml <pre><code><?xml

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
