title: Convert an UploadedFile into a File
body: <p>I'm using PrimeFaces 3.2 and I should store a file on filesystem.
  Now, I know that the class FileUploaded creates a temp file so I would convert it into a real file using java.io.File.</p>
  
  <p>Here it is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String fileName = "D:/upload/file.zip"; //--- this is an example, in my real code it is dynamic
  UploadedFile uploadedFile;
  
  //--- getters and setters
  InputStream in = uploadedFile.getInputStream();
  OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(fileName));
  
  int read = 0;
  byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
  
  while ((read = in.read(bytes)) != -1) {
      out.write(bytes, 0, read);
  }
  
  in.close();
  out.flush();
  out.close();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that into the folder the application create a .tmp file but after it isn't "convert" to the file that I want!
  The log returns:</p>
