Re: [FileUpload] FileUpload doesn't work with IE but with Firefox

[Brian Cook <bc...@printtime.com>]

If you debug this a little deeper wither using your IDE or marking each 
step in the process with system.out.println("") methods I am betting you 
will find this does not relate to commons.FileUpload.

Are you seeing any exceptions thrown in catalina.out?  Is the error seen 
in the browser an IE default error, or a Tomcat error page?

The only difference I am aware of with IE is that it has an irritating 
habbit under specific situations of returning the entire system path as 
the file name.  You can simply get around this with an extra method call 
like :

private String getRealFileName(String itemName) {

	int pointer = itemName.lastIndexOf("\\");

         if( pointer != -1){itemName = itemName.substring(pointer+1);}

         return itemName;
}
