Re: File Chooser dialog needed
Thanks for the response. I have a similar requirement for upload tooo. I want to make a Browse button, which accepts folder locations, and uploads all the files in that location. uploading the data from the file is fine... i can handle but how to create a button, which accepts folder locations of both client system and server system ?

Re: File Chooser dialog needed
Again, you can't do this in a standard HTML form. For something like this, you will need to use something like an applet. Put simply, the browser does not give you folder locations, and even if it did, your server couldn't list or grab files from the client's folder. And, the browser won't automatically upload an entire folder of anything. HTML has a file input only for files - not directories. Allowing anything different would be a big security risk. As far as letting them choose where to save it on the server - why would you do this? You can accomplish this by creating or using some sort of browse / select component, but this is typically a bad idea - why do you want to give a user access to your server file system over a webapp? It might be good to go back and look at your real requirements and evaluate what MUST be done, and then how best to accomplish it. (note - there may be certain use cases where you do need to do this, but they are very rare, and almost non-existent on a public app - which this may not be) Anyway, hope this helps.

If you really want to do that, make sure you install your web application in each user's computer... :-) Just to make sure the JFileChooser will actually work. And if you warn the user about something, don't use a javascript alert.
