My guess is that this is what the guy wants except not built with a Java 
Applet

http://jupload.biz/en_10.html (I like this one the best)
http://www.javazoom.net/applets/jclientupload/jclientupload.html
http://www.radinks.com/upload/
The gmail one is still a lot of work for the end user because if they 
want to upload multiple files they have to do so with separate "Browse" 
buttons when it would be really nice to be able to select multiple files 
at once.

I would love to have a MyFaces UI component for this, but I am not sure 
how one would do this from the client end unless you could use 
JavaScript to prompt for the files (sadly I am no JavaScript wiz).

Has anyone looked into how the Gmail "attach a file" link works? They
don't seem to display an <input type="file"> control (unless it's
heavily modified via css) and they let you attach an arbitrary number of
files fairly easily albeit with multiple invocations of the Choose File
dialog. 

I suspect if there was any way to make the "Choose file" dialog select
multiple files in a single invocation then the gmail developers would
have done it. 

The gmail file upload interface would make a nice JSF control if it is
not out there already.

Heath,
I'll debate that.  I recall a Struts posting where someone made a
   

custom
 

class to detect and process multiple files in a SINGLE file upload
   

field.
 

But, we're not Struts, are we? LOL.
Regards,
David

I don't think that the HTML element <input type="file"> supports
multiple files.  I think you can only select a single file.

I'm guessing he's talking about doing it with a single component. I
     

think
in
   

theory, it is possible to do this (assuming I was reading the
commons-fileupload documentation correctly) using an <input
     

type="file"/>.
   

However, if I remember correctly, the MyFaces component didn't look
     

like
 

it
   

supported that. If I remember correctly, it looked like it assumed
     

that
 

one
   

file was being uploaded. I never tested it with multiple files.

Do you mean using more than one <x:inputFileUpload /> or using a
single <x:inputFileUpload />?

Any directions/suggestions are welcomed.
Thank you.
