JFilechooser Issues with Current Directory

Question

Hi,
Actually I am getting strange error while using JFileChooser.
I am trying to set current directory in applet as:
private static File visitedDir = null;
JFileChooser fc = fileAccess.newJFileChooser();
fc.setDialogType (JFileChooser.OPEN_DIALOG);
if (visitedDir != null) {
fc.setCurrentDirectory(visitedDir);
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
visitedDir = file.getParentFile();
And when i open the Dialog Box and browse any directory and then in that directory in textbox if I type any file name to create the file. and then say open.And again if open the dialog box,as visited directory is static field it remains initialized. and dialog box shows me directory name in drop down.But it doesn't show me the full traverse path of directory.It only shows that directory name in dialog box.So I cant traverse to any other directory.
Please help.

It works for me - I'm guessing fileAccess.newFileChooser() already shows the dialog, so you only set the current directory after the user picked a file.
public class TestFileChooser {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
                while(chooser.showOpenDialog(null) ==
                          JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                    File file = chooser.getCurrentDirectory();
                    chooser = new JFileChooser();
                    chooser.setCurrentDirectory(file);
}
