Question

In apache commons file uploading the uploaded files are available as FileItem objects.
If I get the name of such file item by using fileitem.getName() it returns the full path (ex: C:\Test\test.txt).

Is there any way to get only the file name.
What I actually need is to save the uploaded file as temp file using File.createTempFile()

but the name and extension of the temp file should be the same as the uploaded file rather than a random name(like temp.tmp)

Answer 1

Try what the docs say

Why does FileItem.getName() return the whole path, and not just the
file name?

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).

String fileName = item.getName();
 if (fileName != null) {
     fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(fileName);
 }
