    String fileName = Paths.get(filePart.getSubmittedFileName())
            .getFileName().toString(); // MSIE fix.
    InputStream fileContent = filePart.getInputStream();
    // ... (do your job here)
}

Answer 1

I had this problem before. Some guy helped me find the root of this problem, so here is the solution I got:

In the Java EE 7 DOC, you can see that the “Interface part” was added to it with the getSubmittedFileName method from servlet 3.1, and from the tomcat website you can see that Tomcat 7 implemented Servlet 3.0, so I had to switch from Tomcat 7 - Tomcat 8.0.x.

Literature:

• getSubmittedFileName Part Part
• Tomcat Versions

Servlet 3.0, getSubmittedFileName() .

", Servlet 3.1, " .
