jsf 2: UploadedFile имеет значение null в ManagedBean с использованием Tomahawk

Я сделал пошаговое руководство BalusC: Загрузка файла JSF 2.0

Но затем я обнаружил, что UploadedFile имеет значение null, когда я щелкнул commandButton.

</web-app>

страница в Интернете:

<h:form id="register_doctor_form" encrypt="multipart/form-data">
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td><h:outputText value="&#160;&#160;Image"></h:outputText></td>
            <td>
                <t:inputFileUpload value="#{DoctorRegisterBean.image}"></t:inputFileUpload>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><h:outputText id="submit_message" value="#{DoctorRegisterBean.message_submit}"></h:outputText></td>
            <td id="last_td">
                <h:commandButton class="button" value="Create Doctor" action="#{DoctorRegisterBean.registerDoctor}">
                    <f:ajax execute="register_doctor_form" render="submit_message"></f:ajax>
                </h:commandButton>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</h:form>

Я также прочитал это сообщение: UploadedFile имеет значение null при отправке jsf отправить запрос с помощью Tomahawk, но моя форма не вложена.

ManagedBean:

public class DoctorRegisterBean implements Serializable{
    private UploadedFile image;
    public void registerDoctor() {
        byte[] imageBytes = image.getBytes();
        Blob blob = new SerialBlob(imageBytes);
    }
}

image здесь равно NULL. Так что же не так с этим кодом?

Я запускаю этот проект, используя файл .war под tomcat, и сообщение об ошибке выдается, когда я нажимаю commandButton, вот сообщение об ошибке:
