    • getName

      public static String getName(String path)
      Deprecated.
      This is a duplication of the algorithm and functionality available in commons io FilenameUtils. If Java's File were able handle Windows file paths correctly in linux, we wouldn't need this.

      The goal of this is to get a filename from a path. The package parsers and some other embedded doc extractors could put anything into Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY.

      If a careless client used that filename as if it were a filename and not a path when writing embedded files, bad things could happen. Consider: "../../../my_ppt.ppt".

      Consider using this in combination with normalize(String).

      Parameters:
      path - path to strip
      Returns:
      empty string or a filename, never null
