Thanks for your reply. My main aim of this task is to download an item into the directory user selects.
So need to open a file dialog to help user choose a directory and then from it get the path user chose, so as to proceed with my download. So as you can imagine for this, i have a browse kindoff button for user to chose a directory and as it closes, need to display the path selected in a text field. The button as well as textfield stand on a wicket page. Just the action of opening a file browser is what i want. I am very new to wicket. Could you pls explain more on what i would have to do to open such a dialog nd then get the path selected ? A code example would be appreciated.

What you need is to add an <input type="file" .... /> and a FileUpload (Wicket class). However, you can't have a user just select a directory from their browser - this is a limitation of web apps. Besides, what could you possibly do with that directory path once you had it? You don't have access to their local computer.... Depending on what you're doing, if you really had to do something with a directory, you may have to <horror-music-starts> use an applet </horror-music>.
