I totally agree with that one. Using Tomahawk works, but it has no support for AJAX (AFAIK). Having a simple component that doesn't require an additional library is much better. The current fileUpload component is insufficient when the available space on the UI is limited. Last but not least the text input and buttons don't automatically get the skin-dependent RF look.

We really need this, even though JSF 2.2 is just around the corner.

> Today, if I use JBoss 7 + RichFaces 4, I don't have any component I could use to simply add an input type file to a form, like [t:inputFileUpload|http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk-project/tomahawk20/tagdoc/t_inputFileUpload.html].
> See [that thread on JBoss Community forums|https://community.jboss.org/thread/195637].
> The problem is that it seems to difficult to use both RichFaces & Tomahawk libraries at the same time.
> So could it be possible to add a {{rich:simpleFileUpload}} for example or an attribute in {{rich:fileUpload}} which we could use to make it simple.
> Actually, if I use {{<rich:fileUpload listHeight="1" maxFilesQuantity="1">}} I must add a file with browse, *then* click on "Add" which is not really simple to understand (nor a web best practice) for users.
