I finally figured this out, so I'm going to put an entire example in this post. I'm using Tomahawk 1.1.3 with RI JSF created in Borland's JBuilder. I've created a .war file from borland and deployed it under Tomcat 5.5 so it should be Borland independent. The problems I was having previously were in trying to deploy Tomahawk on a old JSF project. I'm pretty sure I'm safe in saying you must use JSP 2.0 and Servlet 2.4 as a minimum.
inputFileUpload/Tomahawk specific elements are bold/italic In the backing bean WelcomeBean.java, I only read the uploaded file into a byte []. In my personal application, I simply insert the byte [] into an Oracle BLOB. You may need to write it to a file. I'll assume you know how to do that. I think that's pretty much it. If you have any questions please respond to this post. I'll receive an e-mail and try to help. If you want to know how to implement Tomahawk 1.1.3 into Borland's JBuilder, I can help with that also I believe.
