Short answer is: you can't.
JSP is server side only, what the browser sees is a static (HTML) page. You
could have the user upload a file from their browser but that is something
else.
Even if you put JavaScript or a Java Applet into the page you can't normally
access the user's local files - it would be a security risk. You could use a
'trusted' Applet and grant it access to the local file system and pass the
information on to a servlet.
