 def index() { }

 def fullpath(){

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

You can't using the file input. If you need that the user will have to type it in separately. — Joshua Moore, Apr 12 '16 at 20:37

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.

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
