Use this Method for file handling:

We need :

jacob.jar Download

It will contain one jar file and 2 .dll files

AutoItX4Java.jar Download

public static void uploadFile(String path, String browser){

    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")){

        if(x.winWaitActive("Open", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("Open")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("Open", "", "Button2");

            }
        }

    }


    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox")){

        if(x.winWaitActive("File Upload", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("File Upload")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("File Upload", "", "Button2");

            }
        }
    }

    if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase("InternetExplorer")){

        if(x.winWaitActive("Choose File to Upload", "", 10)){
            if(x.winExists("Choose File to Upload")){
                x.sleep(500);
                x.send(path);
                x.controlClick("Choose File to Upload", "", "Button2");

            }
        }
    }



}


   public void test(){
       //Click on the Select button of the file upload
       uploadFile("Path", "chrome");


   }
