No, there’s no equivalent (especially for an applet). Unless you want to do JNI, you can’t get that information. The only limit you may reach is the
Stringmax length limit (which is far beyond what any operating system would allow, anyway).I assume either an exception would be thrown or the filename (or path) will be truncated. Here’s a related question: Does Java IO have a maximum file name length?
