forms - browse file path spring webflow -

i working on spring webflow application. in project there entities point document contains more information entity. document not provided. in case user must able research file himself.

i need simple way let user search file , save filepath of selected file database.

for of our components use richfaces don't richfaces <fileupload> because it's big , complex. have seen icefaces , tomahawk provide nice solutions our application limited richfaces. thought of using normal:

<form:form> <input type="file> </form:form>"

but don't know how can information submitted form bean. hoped trigger event once file had been selected , use listener in bean read filename event. cannot find syntax (i don't know if possible).

can me? know can richfaces don't think client enormous form select filepath

why don't use simple jsp file upload? http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jsp_file_uploading.htm
