Uploadfile returns full path instead of just filename

It looks like in 5.6 the uploadDile returns now the whole path instead of just the appointed file name (user file name + sequence number if already existing). The path should not be part of this. How can this be solved?

This is the excisting code for upload:


var opts = new UploadOptions();
//
//before 5.6
//opts.directory = system.variables.$ENV_BEA_DOCS_PATH.value;
// since version 5.6
opts.directory = services.file.getUserDataApplicationPath() + java.io.File.separator + "webapp" + java.io.File.separator + "beadocs";
//
form.uploadFileFromBrowser(opts);
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
// Processing resumes here after the upload..
// check for uploaded file
var fileName = system.variables.$FILE_NAME.value;

Which version have you been using where this behavior is different? So far as I can see $FILE_NAME has always returned the full path to the uploaded file. Here is an extract from the system variables documentation, which hasn't been changed for a long time.

$FILE_NAME
Contains the full path of a file created by the system e.g. when creating an XML file using write RESOURCE_NAME, when uploading files using the upload command, or generating PDF documents with the print or PDFPrint commands.

You're right (ofcource). I checked my code further on. In the old situation I did a string replacement of the full path name (which was in 5.5 in my situation contained in an environment variable) before storing it , because I didn't want it to be stored in the DB. This changed because of the new situation in 5.6. I need to adjust this part of my code also with regard to this.

Thanks for your reply.
