How to get full file path of uploaded file in Spring

Question

Hi I am trying to get the full file path of a file that I uploaded in Spring. I am able to get file name by using bean.getFile().getOriginalFilename(). But this gives just the file name like abc.csv. I tried searching answer for this in several forums and I am not finding proper way of retrieving file path information.

Answer 1

Modern browsers do not send full path info for file uploads. They only send the short file name. There's no way to retrieve it if the client doesn't send it.
