How does this question relate to Java? – Peter Lawrey Aug 10 '12 at 07:48

Why do you care for exact path anyway on server? – Akash Kava Aug 10 '12 at 07:49

You are supposed to just ignore the path and use file name. – Akash Kava Aug 10 '12 at 10:00

Chrome shows it for security purpose.

You can't do that. Its for security purposes that you can't get actual physical path of the uploaded file.
document.getElementById("yourFileInput").files[0].fileName;
this will get you the filename from uploaded path.
