I'm trying to use the rich:fileupload from inside a rich:modalpanel component. The problem is that, when inside modalpanel, fileupload doesn't doesnt start the fileuploadeventlistener method.

The same fileupload component works fine outside of modalpanel. (Although it doesn't rerender the components I ask it to, but that's another topic.)

I could find this issue and similar ones on search for "fileupload modalpanel" but no answers.

My code is added from a backing bean, but this illustrates it:

<a4j:form id="overlayForm">
  <rich:modalPanel>
    <rich:fileupload fileuploadeventlistener="#{mrBean.uploadCompleteListener}"/>
  </rich:modalPanel>
</a4j:form>
