Now I would like to read this file to send it as an Email-attachment.</p> <pre><code>File f = new File("subfolder\\testfile.pdf",false); java.io.File Anhang =new java.io.File(f.getName()); in.anhang=Anhang; </code></pre> <p>But ivy doesn't find the File. When we upload the file directly in files/application it works.</p> <p>Thank you.</p>enWed, 19 Apr 2017 05:45:35 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2529/how-to-read-file-from-a-subfolder-in-files-application#2584<p>testtesttest</p>Alex SuterWed, 19 Apr 2017 05:45:35 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2529/how-to-read-file-from-a-subfolder-in-files-application#2584https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2529/how-to-read-file-from-a-subfolder-in-files-application/2530<p>Your second line causes the problem. <code>f.getName()</code> only returns the filename, without the subfolder. You have to use <code>f.getPath()</code>, which returns the relative path of the current file object. This path is always relative to the active file area:</p> <ul> <li>Temporary files: session</li> <li>Persistent files: application</li> </ul>SupportIvyTeamFri, 24 Mar 2017 15:24:02 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2529/how-to-read-file-from-a-subfolder-in-files-application/2530
