If you want the absolute path (i.e. not relative path of the file system)
use String getAbsolutePath(). If you want the canonical path (which resolves
the symbols . and ..) uset the String getCanonicalPath method. Both are in
the java.io.File class.

Subject: handling form with a file input element
Hi, I have a problem with obtaining a full path of a file specified in a
file input element of a form. I use Jason Hunter's servlets from
www.servlets.com for handling the form. There is a FilePart class with a
method getFileName(). But this method returns just the name of the file, not
the full path. Is there some way to obtain the full path from the file
element?
Thank you,
Martin Pribyl.
