get the path of my file to upload in grails

my view gsp index.gsp

<head>
<meta name="layout" content="main">
<title>Upload file and fullpath</title>
</head>
<div id="upload-data" class="content scaffold-create" role="main">
<div class="content scaffold-create" role="main">
    <h1>Upload file and full path</h1>
    <g:if test="${flash.message}"><div class="message" role="status">${flash.message}</div></g:if>
    <g:uploadForm action="fullpath">
        <fieldset class="form">
            <input type="file" name="file"  />
        </fieldset>
        <fieldset class="buttons">
            <g:submitButton name="Upload" value="Upload" />
        </fieldset>
    </g:uploadForm>
</div>

my controller Uploadfullpath

 package library

 class UploadfullpathController {

 def index() { }

 def fullpath(){

    def files = request.getFile('file')
    def fullpath=files.getProperties()
    System.out.println("full path is  : "+ fullpath)
 } 
 }

I need to get the full path of my file on my local disk for example ( c: /folder1/notes.txt ) or ( f : /folder2/note2.txt )**

You will get whole path by using originalFilename

def file = request.getFile('uploadFile')

println "FileName"+file.originalFilename

Output:

FileName C:\Users\BRACT-Admin\Downloads\vit.mp4

In accordance with the HTML specification only the name of the file is sent, not the entire path. Doing so would pose a leak of potentially sensitive or personally identifiable information.

If you need the full path you will have to have your users enter that manually as a separate piece of data. the file input won't give you this information, no matter what you do.
