Hi,
why do you need the complete path of the selected file on the client? I
think that due to security reasons, its not possible to get the full
path on the client when HTML browse button is used.
Best,
Ivan

You can't read this file directly from the client without uploading it
to the server first. That's why the full *client* path is useless. Did
you write your custom file upload handler? Probably, the
"org.eclipse.rap.rwt.supplemental.filedialog" or
"org.eclipse.rap.rwt.supplemental.fileupload" bundles from the incubator
is what you are looking for.
HTH,
Ivan

You don't get the full path in all browsers. So we cut off the path to
provide the same results in all browsers. As Ivan said, you should not
rely on the path - it belongs entirely to the user.
