I'd actually like to point out this incorrect line in the FAQ:
" Internet Explorer provides the entire path to the uploaded file and
not just the base file name. Since FileUpload provides exactly what was
supplied by the client (browser), you may want to remove this path
information in your application. You can do that using the following
method from Commons IO (which you already have, since it is used by
FileUpload)."
As far as I can tell, you don't have access to this method if you're
only using the org.apache.commons.fileupload library. You need to
include the org.apache.commons.io library with your project.

Of course not, that would be far too intelligent!

Hello,
I've built a fileupload jsp and I want to get the original filename
of a
file. I put the file into a FileItem object and use the getName
function. When I'm in Firefox it works perfectly, as it gets just the
name and not the path. However when I'm in IE it uses the entire
path of
the file as the name. I want it to work the way it does in Firefox, I
want to get only the name and not the path. Has anyone encountered this
problem, and if you did, how did you solve it?
You did, of course, check out the FAQ before posting, right? ;-)
