Answer 1

IceFaces uploads a file to a specific path, given by

{Application Root}/{Upload directory}/{Session ID}

The Upload Directory is specified in web.xml. The Session ID folder is optional, depending on whether you specified the "uniqueFolder" attribute in the tag. You can also set the upload path as an attribute in the tag.

You can store the file path in a String or in a session variable through actionListener for the inputFile.

To refer to this path String from Bean2 without using the backing bean, you can bind your components to "#{Bean1.pathString}". If you want to use the backing-bean, you can do:

((Bean1) geBean("Bean1")).getPathString()

but only if you extend from AbstractPageBean. Also, Bean1 should be session scoped for either case.
