How to browse a Folder in a Web application developed using Java/J2EE

[backstreetboy]

It's possible to browse a single file using <input type="file"> but is
there a work around for browsing a complete folder as it is , i hav
such a requirement i think Javascript needs to be used.
Any inputs abt how to achieve this or any links are appreciated.

This Link did not help me , i get an error(PERMISSION DENIED)
instead , did this help anyone if so how?

No, it is not, the user browses his own folders/directories,
to select a file to upload.

You cannot "browse a file".

No, you can not have the name of a folder as the value of a file input.
If you want an entire folder uploaded, it will have to be done one file
at a time.

Or 3 at a time?

<form>
<input type='file'>file 1<br>
<input type='file'>file 2<br>
<input type='file'>file 3<br>
<input type='submit'value='upload'>
</form>
