Unfortunately, we couldn't get absolute path of the file on client. Why? Because it is security restriction in most browsers. My recent test shows that FireFox and Chrome returns only the file name, while IE 6 returns the whole absolute path.

java memory

Are you sure, you placing the files at the correct directory of your local server (say tomcat or whatever you using)?

actually i need pass the file that i select from my pc and then sent to my email. it means i cannot upload that file? i need save the file in to server first then server will pass the file to the email?
it is correct ??
