Won't you still have an OS dependency in there with that \\?
Yes, it would be OS dependent. However, IE is the only browser (that
I'm aware of) that sends the full path, so that probably doesn't
matter. (Not sure what IE on Mac does, but it's broken in plenty of
other ways too.)
I think you can use File.pathSeperatorChar to handle that.
Nope. If the upload came from a Windows system and the server is
running on *nix, then the system separator is *not* what you want.
You'd be looking for '/' in a path that uses '\' as the separator.

Subject: Re: [fileUpload] Question about file name
If anyone experiences this same problem here is the solution:
Instead of:
File fullFile = new File(item.getName());
uploadPDF = fullFile.getName();
File savedFile = new File(serverFolder, uploadPDF);
item.write(savedFile);
Use:
int i = item.getName().lastIndexOf('\\');
uploadPDF = item.getName().substring(i+1);
File savedFile = new File(serverFolder, item.getName().substring(i+1) );
item.write(savedFile);

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.
