file upload path gives full path

[sreenivas]

Hi,

I am uploading a file to server. when from firefox , it is giving only the file name, when i access through fileItem.getName(). But with chrome it is coming something like this. c:/fakepath/fileName. How to avoid this fakepath string to come to server and get only the file name?

Thanks,
Sree

Try Apache Commons IO (http://commons.apache.org/io/), org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils

You'll find more than you want to know about it if you google
fakepath.
