[solved] How can I retrieve a filename with the path included (/path/filename)?

When I need a filename to open the file I also need the path. Otherwise I can't open the file. But I only get fhe filename. So what please am I doing wrong?

Code:

import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ChooseFile extends JPanel{

   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
   static JFrame frame = new JFrame("ChooseFile");
   static String filename;
   static String language = System.getProperty("user.language"), t1;
   JButton openButton, saveButton;
   static JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();

   public static String select(String fname) {
   filename = fname;
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   frame.add(new ChooseFile());
   frame.setSize(500,100);
   if (language == "de"){
   t1="Die Standard-Datei\""+filename+"\" wurde nicht gefunden.";
   }else{
   t1="The standard file \""+filename+"\" couldn't be found.";
   }
   frame.setTitle(t1);
   frame.setVisible(true);
   fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
   int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(null);

   if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
   File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
   filename = file.getName();
   t1="Opening: " + filename + ".";
   if (language == "de"){
   t1="Öffne: " + filename + ".";
   }else{
   t1="Opening: " + filename + ".";
   }
   frame.setTitle(t1);
   } else {
   t1="Open command cancelled by user.";
   if (language == "de"){
   t1="Öffnen-Dialog: Abbruch durch den Benutzer.";
   }else{
   t1="Open dialog cancelled by user.";
   }
   frame.setTitle(t1);
   filename="";
   }
   try {Thread.sleep(4000);} catch(InterruptedException e) {}
   frame.setVisible(false);
   return filename;
   }
}
