Saving a file to a specified directory

Question

Hello, how would i go about saving a file like from a JTextPane to anywhere the user selected from the JFileChooser menu. When I use the code below, it only gets stored in the directory where I run my program in.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import package1.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends JApplet {
JTextPane tp = new JTextPane();
JButton b1 = new JButton("Save");
ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
int rVal = fc.showSaveDialog(Test.this);
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
String fname = null;
if(rVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
fname = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
try {
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fname));
oos.writeObject(tp.getText());
oos.close();
} catch(Exception ex) {}
public void init() {
b1.addActionListener(al);
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(null);
tp.setBounds(80,80,420,420);
cp.add(tp);
b1.setBounds(10,10,80,40);
cp.add(b1);
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console.run(new Test(), 500,500);
I know I could of used a better way of saving the text but I just slapped that part together, I just really wanted to see where the file would end up. I know if I add, for expample, c:\\java\\ to the string in FileOutputStream it would store the file in the java directory. But I can't figure how to get a list a accessed directories. All I can get is the current one with the getCurrentDirectory() method.
Thanks for any help.

Instead of:
fname = fc.getSelectedFile().getName();
use:
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( file );
