Question

I am developing an application using JSF in Eclipse IDE with Derby as database. I have a feature to upload files to the database. But the file name is getting stored as “C:\Documents and Settings\Angeline\Desktop\test.txt” instead of “test.txt”. How do I get to store only “test.txt” as file name in the database?

This is my code in JSF:

 File to Upload:

<t:inputFileUpload id="fileupload" value="#{employeeBean.upFile}" storage="file"/>

Java Bean Code:

 String fileName=upFile.getName();

The value of this fileName=C:\Documents and Settings\Angeline\Desktop\test.txt.

Answer 1

lastSlashIndex = name.lastIndexOf("\\");
if (lastSlashIndex == -1) {
    lastSlashIndex = name.lastIndexOf("/"); //unix client
}
String shortName = name;
if (lastSlashIndex != -1) {
    shortName = name.substring(lastSlashIndex);
}

Note that if the filename on *nix contain a \ this won’t work.
