getting full file path for an upload

[Bryan Lewis <jb...@gmail.com>]

I've been using the Upload component with good results.  Now I need to get
the full client-side path where the file came from.  I've tried
UploadedFile.getFilePath() but that gives me only the base filename, like
"foo.txt", not the absolute path.

The comments in UploadedFile say that getFilePath() returns "the complete
path, as reported by the client browser".  (Perhaps the base filename is all
that Firefox is reporting?  I've tried uploading from different
directories.)  I'm hoping there's some simple technique I'm overlooking.

This would be a security problem, so no browser I know provides the full  
path.
