The data difference is not in the code but in the request data from the browser. IE puts in the full name and other browsers put in just the name. Calling [file].getName() gives the same result for all of them. I don't think there is a way to get a full name from the browsers that send only the file name. There is no reason, of course, to know the full name.

It seems to me a method to get JUST the filename makes a lot of sense... what has been the reason for not adding it IN ADDITION to what's there now? Unfortunately it would make more sense if getName() returned just the name while there was another method, maybe getFullName() that returned what getName() returns now, but that breaks existing code potentially, so I can certainly see why that hasn't been done, but adding something like getJustTheName() or something (obviously there must be a better choice!) makes sense to me.

That is an excellent point, Robert. I often forget how horrible it must be to be immeshed in those programming worlds where there is no recourse. Too often we shy away, I think, at changing code, even with the Java distribution itself, license issues notwithstanding.

That is not a problem, however. I just went in and changed the commons upload code adding .getName() to the file at this stage. The problem you are seeing is in Internet Explorer, right? Firefox and Netscape return the file name and Internet Explorer returns the full path. Anyway, you either have to solve the problem in the commons upload code itself, where it is easy to solve, or to go through some wasted mechanisms after the fact. Everyone has to solve this problem somewhere, so I definitely come down on the side of "bug" versus "feature".
the great thing about open source is that you are free to do exactly this :)
