  • You can't unless you're talking about files on the server. – developerwjk Nov 13 '13 at 17:42
  • No guys actually what i listed the files in the directory to a array. and displayed that in the select. And then got the filepath and then called the BufferedReader File Reader to do the remaining work. @developerwjk Thanks for your suggestion though :) – Allen Savio Nov 19 '13 at 13:56

Firstly you need to list the files in the folder

public class ListFiles 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        // Directory path here
        String path = "."; 

        String files;
        File folder = new File(path);
        File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles(); 

        for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) 
        {
            if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) 
            {
                files = listOfFiles[i].getName();
                System.out.println(files);
            }
        }
    }
}

and then display the array in select

<select><option>array values</option><select>

and then upon select read from the files 

using BufferedReader..
