Accessing data in local drives from controller of grails application

I have my data in the form of a CSV file at the following location C:\xyz\data.csv in my system. How can I access this data from the controller of my grails application? Is it possible to do so? If yes, how? Any help would be much appreciated.

for reading file (cvs, xml, img ,...) from controller

def csv = grailsAttributes.getApplicationContext().getResource("/data/data.csv").getFile()

try this for your case...

If your Grails application runs on the same system you can access the file like this.

class MyController {
    def myAction() {
       def myFile = new File('your path')
       def content = myFile.text
    }
}

If your webapp runs somewhere else (which is most likely your case) you can use the file upload.
