Weird file upload problem - works in Firefox, not in IE

[konstandinos]

Hi I am using t:inputfileUpload to upload a file.

The class is org.apache.myfaces.custom.fileupload.UploadedFile

Instantiated object is myUploadedFile

The file uploaded is moo.txt

The file is uploaded from D:\files\

The destination is /path/to/file/


When I upload with Firefox, it writes it as /path/to/file/moo.txt

When I upload with IE, it writes it as /path/to/file/D:\files\moo.txt

I have System.out.println(myUploadedFile.getName()) in my controller.

In Firefox, it prints "moo.txt"

In IE, it prints "D:\files\moo.txt"

Weird huh?

Any ideas?

(Side note: I cannot wait for richFaces built-in file upload).

Hi guys

This is the last time I shall push this post back to the top.

I have yet to figure out a solution and am truly surprised that I'm the only one whose experienced this problem.

Cheers,
Konstandinos.

Sorry, I can't help you.

First: Maybe it is the wrong forum for that question. Or is there any relation to a RF specific topic. Is it working outside of a RF environment as expected?

Second: These days the RF team seems to be very busy. Normally they have more time for community questions - I think we have to be a little bit patient at the moment (there is a question of mine I post back to the top many time more then three and I'm still waiting...).

Try something like this
create this function and pass the filename to it, i thing it will help u.... and please post only RF question on this forum, as requested.....


public static String RemoveIEPath(String str_filename){
if (str_filename.indexOf("\\")!= -1)
{
int slash = str_filename.lastIndexOf("\\");
if (slash != -1)
str_filename = str_filename.substring(slash + 1);
// I think Windows doesn't like /'s either
int slash2 = str_filename.lastIndexOf("/");
if (slash2 != -1)
str_filename = str_filename.substring(slash2 + 1);
// In case the name is C:foo.txt
int slash3 = str_filename.lastIndexOf(":");
if (slash3 != -1)
str_filename = str_filename.substring(slash3 + 1);
}
return str_filename.trim();
}
