This answer says that allowTypes is a "Semi colon separated list of file extensions to accept". But it seems to depend on which version of Primefaces you use. – Caird

It works fine for me using PRIMEFACES 3.5. – Lampoon

What is the primefaces version you are using? And also specify JSF Impl. – Rammer

you could specify the allowTypeslike this: allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(doc?x)$/" but this is not relevant for this to work. but with 3.5 and 4.0 it works for me. – Energy

I found the solution,I forgot to add to the fileupload component inside <h:form nctype="multipart/form-data">

functional code is as follows:

<h:form id="formcontract" enctype="multipart/form-data" dir="rtl">
    <p:fileUpload cancelLabel="#{contenu.annuler}"
        fileUploadListener="#{utilAdminBean.fileUpload}"
        allowTypes="/(\.|\/)(doc|docx|xls|xlsx|pdf)$/"
        multiple="false" mode="advanced" sizeLimit="52428800"
        showButtons="false" />
</h:form>
