Thanks everyone, I will surely find a cross OS solution combining all of
these.

You could try doing a String.lastIndexOf( File.pathSeperatorChar ) to get
the last occurrence of the separator, and then do a substr using that index
to get the file name itself.

Subject: Re: [fileUpload] Question about file name
Martin
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a suggestion as to better code to
handle getting the filename? I have used both a StringTokenizer as well
as String.split but was not able to get to just the filename. Any
suggestions or pointers? Thank you!

Hey there everyone!
Hope someone can give me an answer here. I am using the fileUpload
package in one of my apps and have had some trouble getting the actual
file name when the user is using IE. In IE the entire location string
is sent by the browser instead of just the file name. Now, I have
found a way to get past that, I thought, but now here is my problem.
When testing the app on my local WindowsXP machine on both Firefox and
IE it works perfectly, however, when I move this up to the server, Red
Hat Linux, the file name written to disk when using IE is completely
wrong.
Here is the code I use to get the file name:
if(item.getFieldName().equals("uploadPDF")) {
File fullFile = new File(item.getName());
uploadPDF = fullFile.getName();
File savedFile = new File(serverFolder, uploadPDF);
item.write(savedFile); }
Any idea why this would return the file name differently depending on
which platform the app runs. BTW, the files are uploaded using a
WindowsXP machine and IE 6.0 as the client. Any ideas? Thanks!
I suspect that it's not the platform so much as the JVM. My guess is
that the File implementation on the JVM you're using on Red Hat is not
parsing the Windows path that's provided by IE as you are expecting it
to. You are assuming that File will parse both Windows and Unix paths.
I believe this is true on Sun JVMs, but not on some Linux JVMs.
