Re: Choosing a file in local directory

if you app must be a web app then maybe you could go  the HTML5 way ?   i ve hard HTML5 has a File api. I personally never used it.

But  if it  possible for you to deploy you  app as a desktop  application then you could  pack it as a   Aode AIR  application. This will  enable local file access for you. The library here can help you  do that http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/.

Another solution would be the Titanium runtime located here : http://www.appcelerator.com/. I m working on a GWT API  for Titanium rigt now. In the mean time you might have to go the pure JS way or write  a wrapper youself.

If you hav any question on  feel free to ask
