correct me if i'm wrong but AFAIK, it depends on which browser the uploader is using. Some browser send the whole path with the request, some only the filename ... firefox e.g. just sends the filename without the path

This is my first post, so please bear with me, if I haven't done this
correctly (and please correct me).
When I am uploading a file in a form, I want to save the full client path of
the file, but I am not sure how to access that information. My code looks
like this:
final FileUpload upload = fileUploadField.getFileUpload();
if (upload != null){
......
// Save to new file
File newFile = new File(....)
newFile.createNewFile();
upload.writeTo(newFile);
//Want to get the full path here, e.g.
c:\clientComputer\myFolder\myFile.txt
String fullPath = ?????
} catch (Exception e){
//yatta yatta yatta
}
}
Thx,
