control to select a folder in a JSP web page

[apngss]

I want a JSP web page that allows the user to select a folder as input,
not files. If I use <input type="file">, I couldn't select a folder as
input, I can only select a single file as input. In my case, are there
any solutions to my problem?

please advise... thanks!!

You can so anything in a JSP you can do in a normal
HTML form, so.. No.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#edef-INPUT>
the 'accept' attribute allows you to specify mime-types that
are acceptable for upload (which may or may not be ignored by
the browser), but it does not allow you to upload 'directories'.

The usual way to approach loading a directory of files is
to present the user with a group of file inputs and allow
them to specify each file.
