Uploading file in JSF (Need correct file pathway) [duplicate] - jsf

Question

This question already has an answer here:
How to upload file using JSF 2.2 <h:inputFile>? Where is the saved File?
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to get my JSF site to upload a picture to the server, but am having a time of it. I've found 4 methodologies to do, but I'd like to use h:InputFile as it seems the most direct.
It would seem I just need to supply the upload path correctly.
After adding #MultipartConfig I no longer get an exception, but I can't verify the file is uploaded or see any error.
public void AddPicture()
{
ConnInfo HitIt = new ConnInfo();
try
{
HitIt.save(fileCelebrityToAdd);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//?
}
}
#MultipartConfig(location="C:\\local\\pathway\\Netbeans\\project\\web\\Pictures\\items\\")
public class ConnInfo
{
private String uploadLocation;
public ConnInfo()
{
//uploadLocation = ".\\Pictures\\items\\";
uploadLocation = "C:\\local\\pathway\\Netbeans\\project\\web\\Pictures\\items\\";
}
public boolean TryOut(Part file) throws IOException
{
String monkey = uploadLocation+getFilename(file);
try
{
file.write(monkey);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
Hopefully I've copied the necessary information correctly.

Answer 1

After going back and rereading all the articles I had bookmarked, it was actually the from the one Tam had suggested that I was able to strip out some information.
I didn't need the AJAX, or the #MultipartConfig, and my previous attempt was somehow incorrect, but the follow method allowed me to successfully upload a picture where I wanted it:
public boolean SaveHer(Part file)
{
String monkey = getFilename(file);
try (InputStream input = file.getInputStream())
{
Files.copy(input, new File(uploadLocation, monkey).toPath());
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// Show faces message?
return false;
}
return true;
}
