All you need to do is to get hold of the input stream of the upload file and copy it to an file on your server (which you can create).
    public static int copy(InputStream input, OutputStream output)
            throws IOException {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024 * 4];
        int count = 0;
        int n = 0;
        while (-1 != (n = input.read(buffer))) {
            output.write(buffer, 0, n);
            count += n;
        return count;
    public void fileUploaded(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
        UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
        if (file != null) {
            File ff;
            try {
                // create a temporary file on the host server
                ff = File.createTempFile("xx", "yy");
                FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(ff);
                IOUtils.copy(file.getInputStream(), os);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("************** " +
                               file.getFilename().toString());
    }Timo
