Description Jürgen Kilian CLA 2011-06-25 14:05:56 EDT 
For  http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.4/incubator/ 

The receiver of the new FileUpload widget does not pass the original filename and - more important - its extension to the servlet container.
At least under OS-X with Jetty or Tomcat, the uploaded files get stored with a generic name and extension ".tmp".
Without the information about the filetype, the usage of uploaded files gets a bit complicated.

Example (OS-X, Jetty or Tomcat ): 
 FileDialog fileDialog = new FileDialog( shell, SWT.TITLE | SWT.MULTI );
  fileDialog.setText( "Upload Files" );?
  fileDialog.setAutoUpload( true ); // This API will change, see below!
  fileDialog.open();
  String[] fileNames = fileDialog.getFileNames();

=> any entry in fileNames ends with ".tmp" independent of the filetype/extension of the uploaded file.

Sorry Elena, it looks like from your comments and patch that you posted to the wrong bug, or there was a Bugzilla error.

If the uploaded file name is "foo.bar" the temporary file name now looks like "foo.1234567890.bar". Both name and extension are preserved. Changes are in CVS HEAD.
